Spring. A clear day, bright sun, blue sky. You can not stay home, so to get around the city, eating in a terrace, little walk to the beach enjoying the outdoors. First stop at the Bar de l'Alliance of Poble Nou, eat at the terrace of the menu, and a black Arrocito xanfaina cod more than decent.
With full tummies we just ride till the beach, walk the walk to the edge of the beach enjoying the breeze and watching the show preverano, the tourists are beginning to abound, are the first topless, showing biceps are exhibitionists your athletic power with old people who use exercise equipment design has put the council, guiris with scooters, beach volleyball nets available, children enjoying the sand, parents, biting his lip so as not to call them to order, and two design of these banks are like concrete deck chairs where one can sit in the sun for a while, and inadvertently given a brief nap.
And then, continuing the beach walk from the Nova Icaria until the end of the San Sebastian, without reaching the hotel horror candle, turn off on the ride Borbó to face the center, technical stop for an iced lemon.
And by the way we see the Gold Cup, and as is the snack time, hard not be tempted to try the local homemade beer. Local quintessential tapas, TIGHT, but with good beer. But we ride, we enter the Born, and we went into Santa Maria del Mar is always glad to see the inside, and out, recording a lipdub with de diablos de Sants and uniforms rowers the Catalan and Basque, to things. We dodging foreigners, which have increased in number as you near the center, surround behind the cathedral, seeking peace, go through the Plaza del Rei, but late for the Expos, and elusive independence demonstrations, we will see the new store graphic novel of the city, Pictografics in Bertrellans 5, a side alley to the street Canuda, suffering get out without buying, reserving for the hall. And just the evening and we are in Paseo de Gracia.
We went up the walk, looking at the shops, that increase in exclusive as you near the Diagonal, and see how they prepare the spectacle of the opening of the new store in Santa Eulalia, costumes cheap flights. Appears will show on the facade and will famosetes. But not our fate or interest. So we continue to Gràcia in search of a terrace in one of the little square. We went through an impossible find space, we go to the next, the Sun, there Appreciation with cans sitting on the ground, and children taking part, and by luck and timing when we release a little table, we have to play some foreigners, being local is an advantage in this case.
A beer, a Olivitos and a brave, and watch night fall from the Plaza del Sol, blue sky that are priceless and contrast of fear with the yellow sodium lamps. And while you decide where dinner is not an easy thing, because even though the options are many restrictions and ignorance are handicups.
The winner of tortilla Flash Flash Agusta near the road, because we know they do look good tortillas. Short stroll to identify the location, with ah, is this one of those who go on TV, who visit famosillos and good people. A place with waiters in white tie and black, very chic very serious, very white, suitable for people of good that does not fall below the diagonal, and dare to reach the border. Despite the sneakers of one let us in, and try some of the famous tortillas. With asparagus and bread with white sausage or country ham, decent taste though appropriate size for my little made too many tears, but that's a taste. Curious sprout salad, and rich desserts, fried milk torrija correct and spectacular. Krombacher beer on tap. and decided to leave the area and off the diagonal, a walk in the Eixample, down we came to the Abbey Balmes, imported beer on tap and the bottom end of Barca Villareal, victory by the minimum and fatigue accumulated in the legs. We finished the descent of the Eixample returning to Plaza Catalunya to take transport home. While avoiding those that give us flyers house music discs do not tread, and smoking at the doors of the bars, a new urban race emerged this year, and the premises in which the entry is only girls or only boys . Urban wildlife has changed dramatically through the area and the hours, the bus stops are populated by people totally different from those that had a few hours.
And we take the metro back, walk enough for a sunny spring day. Not bad walk.
