Today we opted for riding the hip on hop off, just to see the city sites.  We got off to see the 2 Gaudi houses and walk from Placa de Catalunya, down Las Ramblas, to the Boqueria for lunch and a bit passed the Columbus circle to catch the bus back to Placa Espana, near our BnB. 

We passed the Barcelona Football club and site of the new stadium

Placa de Catalunya and Las Ramblas to the monument to Columbus

Of course we stopped for lunch!  Another great Catalon lunch in the market

The shopping there is still the most important function! 

Other sights along our trip back to our temporary home included a great stop to overlook the city,  the old Olympic area from 1992, and back to the Placa de España
