Wayfaring Day 263

March 20, 2026 Friday

We did not get up early today. Once we were up we opted to do the hop on and off tour to catch some of the sites we had not been to as of yet. We boarded at the Sagrada Família so we were able to see that magnificent structure again. The cost was €56. We rode the bus through town and made our first stop at the Columbus statue. Here we visited a flea market and got a crepe and some soft drinks.

We hopped back on and then got off at the Port Cable Car stop. We had doubts as to riding the cable car due to some of the reviews. However, the wait was only about 8 minutes so we bought a one way tickets for about €12.50 each. Kind of pricey and they do pack you in pretty tight but we enjoyed it. At the other end we visited the beach (beware of nude sun bathers) and walked to a place to hop on the bus again.

From here we travelled to the Glories where we took many a photo and then found an Italian place for dinner. After dinner we walked back to the hop on spot and travelled around the north side of town and got off at the Gaudi architecture along the Pg. de Gràcia. After a pretty good time there we hoped back on the bus only to find out the bus will make only two more stops and they will be finished for the day. Our final thing was the Arc de Triomphe which was three stops away.

The final stop for us was the Placa de Catalunya which we had not been to yet so that was fine. We hung around there for a few minutes and then caught the subway to the Arc de Triomphe. We walked through and around and took plenty of pics. It was getting dark by the time we caught the subway back to Monumental which did require a transfer but it was easy. We had grabbed some pastry items from a Starbucks (for the restroom) and when we got back we retired to our room for the remainder of the night. We had our “dinner” and packed for the cruise.
