Spain: Day 13

Not a very eventful day, as we made the 5.5-hour drive from San Sebastian to Barcelona, but we had a nice time and checked into what is the best hotel yet - Hotel Neri in the Gothic Quarter.  I would have taken photos, but our stuff was sprawled everywhere by the time I realized I should have taken some.

In any event, we hit the streets after Madeline had a late lunch and sat at a quaint bar in La Boqueria Market for a few bites to tide us over until dinner.  During our snack, we met a nice gentleman from Brussels who had lived in Barcelona years earlier and had stopped for a quick plate of boquerones (those yummy white anchovies marinated in vinegar that we've been obsessed with since we arrived) before his flight home.  He was a character and he recommended a few tapas places that we'll try to get into before we leave.

Tomorrow is our last Michelin meal of the trip - Cinc Sentits.  We're very excited to see what the restaurant has to offer.

We didn't have the chance to take many photos today, but last night was a gorgeous sunset in SS:




And today at La Boqueria Market:

Lovely fresh fish

Info about the world's best ham
Madeline is still doing great.   She's taken to eating more, holding up her (huge) head better and discovering more of the world each day :).  We'll post more photos of her tomorrow.
