Barcelona, Day 5: The Gothic Quarter and Palau Güell
We walked down La Rambla, keeping an eye on our wallets and phones, and stopped at La Boqueria: a sandwich, a cone of meat, and fresh juice. Then we wandered through the Gothic Quarter, past the cathedral, into shops, and into a paper store with hand-bound leather notebooks. That store, Papirum, was very much my kind of place.
Lunch was at El Nou Pi Antic: Estrella beer, ham toast, lamb ribs, and crema catalana. At Palau Güell I liked the early Gaudí details, though the curvy, sloping roof was not great for my fear of heights. We also visited MACBA, which was emphatically not our cup of tea.
