Barcelona
On Monday the 23rd of April, in the middle of the night, our TY group assembled outside our school in Portumna with the 4 teachers that we would be traveling to Barcelona with. We all got on the bus and made our way to Dublin Airport. We were all very excited!
We arrived i Dublin at around 3:45, our flight wasn't until 6:15 so we had a good while to look around. When we arrived in Barcelona we quickly changed into our shorts and got on a bus to Barcelona. On the first day of our tour we visited the CosmoCaixa Science Museum. We got to look around the museum and i found it interesting. After the museum we got back on the bus and we were brought on a walking tour of Barcelona. We seen a lot of famous buildings that included La Sagrada Familia Exterior and Passeig de Grácia. After that we went on cable cars to the top of Montjuic Mountain. We got to see a beautiful view of the city from a birds-eye view. We then went to our Hotel in Salou that we would be staying in and had dinner. In the evening we went bowling. it was great fun.
The next day, we got up nice and early and had breakfast. We then traveled to Reus to visit Gaudí's museum. We were given a phone each to listen to while we look around the museum. At around 1 o'clock we were transferred to Port Aventura Theme Park in Barcelona.We spent the day there going on roller coasters. It was great! In the evening we went to the beach before we had our evening meal.
On our final day in Barcelona, we checked out of or hotel nice and early in the morning. We then visited Camp Nou Stadium, which is the biggest stadium in Europe. We were aloud to go into their dressing rooms and out to where the players walk out onto the pitch. it was brilliant. that then left us with an hour of shopping to do at Maremagnum Shopping centre. We then got back on our flight back to Dublin and arrived home at around 2 in the morning.
Overall i really enjoyed our to Barcelona. My favorite part of the trip was Port Aventura and the Nou Camp. I would definitely return to Barcelona in the near future.
