it is an interesting miscellaneous collection, but not what I'd say is a 'must see' when you have limited time in Barcelona.
However, if you happen to be at the area when it has free entrance, why not
ty that is very helpful b/c like u said I have limit time, some of my friend said Barcelona is his favorite city in the world and he has been to a lot of places, he said and i quote "barcelona, u need a life time to enjoy"
In 711-713 moors have grasped Pyrenees, Catalunia and Barcelona. In 801 francs have expelled moors from Barcelona and have created the buffer state between Andalusia and the Franc's state. Barcelona has received final independence in 988. Catalonia declared its independence with the capital in Barcelona. This year is celebrated as a year of the birth of Barcelona.
Before I left for Spain, my co-worker, who used to live in Spain, told me "In Spain, anything goes." Boy, she was not kidding. When we were walking up Passieg Gracia in L'Eixample, right in the middle of the crowd coming from the opposite direction, was a man who was stark naked. Just walking down the street in the crowd, naked as a jay bird! The really funny thing was, no one seemed to give two hoots about it. A couple of people did double takes, but that was it. I don't think people would be so blase in the US.
There is something to be said about a culture that is so tolerant that one could walk down the street without a stitch of clothing on, and no one is going to jump him and handcuff him.
Now, having said all of this, I also have to say this guy was the only naked guy I saw in Spain (other than my husband), so please don't take away from this tip that half the country is walking around in their birthday suits. The vast majority of Spaniards do wear clothing.
You don't need a full fledged coat, but you will need something to keep warm. I didn''t find it very windy. This will change rapidly as you leave Barcelona and head inland where the elevation rises and the temperature drops. It snowed in Montserrat and was generally quite cold, both in the mountains outside Barcelona and in the Pyrenees, where they were still skiing.
I have to say that this is the most hospital I have ever seen in my life ! Hospital de Sant Pau has been built around 600 years ago and yet is still fully operational as a hospital today.
After visiting Sagrada Familia and having lunch, we decided to walk around in the neighbourhoods and it lead us to this impressive structure. We found out on the map that it was a hospital ! We went inside for a quick tour because we thought that it might be an old hospital, not operational anymore, and to our surprise, it was still operating.
Hospital de Sant Pau is formed by different buildings. During our rapid visit, I felt uneasy, walking around with my camera and taking pictures of the architecture while people were going there to be treated for their sickness... I tried to be the most discreet possible !
Address : Carrer Sant Antoni Maria Claret
Passeig de Gracia is not only famous for its modenist architecture but also for shopping. There are both Spanish (Adolfo Dominguez) and world famous designer stores on both sides of the street. There are also many jewellery shops, Ona Joia (on the corner of Valencia street) sells great contemporary jewellery.
