Yuk. Didn't like it much. Hotel was the "Auto Park" - yes as dodgey as it sounds. Spent 12 hours on the bus... (Italian can't drive lots of accidents) didn't get our dinner til 11pm. Experienced some rude Italians (don't blame them really - for every 1 local there are 16 tourists). Climbed 462 steps (and back down) up to the top of a huge cathedral dome (very claustrophobic). Had some dodgey food

Had a sleep on the rocky beautiful beach and tried out the freezing blue crystal clear ocean water. Climbed a lookout and did some shopping. Went to an Irish bar during happy hour with our fellow travellers .. way too many cocktails.Bus trip to

Party town. 2 nights in Barcelona. Nicest hotel so far.Did a city tour (Olympic stadium, great views, etc...) checked out the night life had heaps of fun at a traditional Flamenco Spanish dinner (lots of dancing and singing and drinking home made sangria) then visited two very unique bars (fairy bar with trees and stuff inside - kinda weird, and an awesome local bar). We learnt what a 'Spanish
