Barcelona Day 4

Norm:


Today, we decided to spend the day hanging out at the beach and find a brunch place. Not surprisingly, we chose to go to La Boqueria market (so far, we've went there every day we've been in Barcelona!). There is a very popular and highly rated tapas restaurant in the market called Quin de la Boqueria. The highlight of the meals are the mussels and the very large shrimp. (The head juices are the most delicious).

From then we just decide to laze out on the beach and soak up some rays. I was hoping to even out the horrendous T-shirt tan I have. The weather today was actually perfect. Not too hot, not too cool, just perfect when it's just the sun on you. One important tip that I learnt from some of the locals hanging out on the beach. Before you lay down your beach towel, make a "sand pillow" underneath before it. Takes lying down in the sun much more enjoyable. After the sun started waning down and before it got chilly, we got dressed and headed back to the hotel for a must needed shower. After that, I was craving a burger, so went to a very popular burger joint right beside our hotel called Kiosko burger. Totally satisfied my burger craving. From then, we wanted more of the beach so we headed there to enjoy the nighttime ambience. Mandy had some ice cream and I had a pitcher of sangria and we chatted until it got dark and cold out. One more full day left in Barcelona!

What a beautiful day!
