Tuesday

Our surprise last night was a flamenco show!
We arrived at the show after a long walk from the metro station. It was a converted theatre and the show was about an hour long. The performance itself was loud, interesting and very entertaining. We were truly amazed by the speed the dancers moved their feet. The songs, which accompanied the dancing, were powerful and emotional and we thoroughly enjoyed it.

Early this morning we visited Monserat Monastery. It was very interesting because it was historic and the buildings were beautiful. The singing of the choir sounded harmonic and was very peaceful. We had to take a coach to get to the monastery in the mountains. It rained a lot which was a shame because Monserat has beautiful scenery (this was our first rainy day in ages!!) We had a great time there so after finishing our lunch we headed to the coach to go to the Picasso Museum.

After lunch we went to the Picasso Museum to see his early and late works. It was excellently laid out to show his paintings from the start of his career to his late paintings and sculptures. It was amazing to know that he started painting portraits and only later painted abstract. The abstract paintings were very interesting and hard to get but it was amazing to see how every year he seemed to change his painting style more towards abstract.

Later this afternoon we went to Nou Camp Stadium, the home place of the Barcelona Football Club. We had a tour of the entire stadium.
First of all we went into the changing room of the away team. Then we came up the tunnel and onto the pitch - although we couldn´t actually step on the grass. We then went to the VIP seating and the commentating area. After that, we went to then museum where it showed all the trophies that BFC have won and the history of the team.
GO BARCELONA!!!!!
