Marvelling at Miro

We were impressed by the gothic style of the Catedral in Barcelona- a 5 min stroll from our hostel- inside, we felt compelled to slow down and whisper while taking in the magnificent soaring roof and elegant pillars.

The highlight of the day though, was definitely the Fundacio Joan Miro, with over 450 paintings, sculptures, and textile works all done by one of our favourite artists. We couldn't help but be fuelled and inspired by the mass of reds, yellows, and blues filling the canvasses and bringing the quirky creatures in the artwork to life. There was also a fantastic view of Barcelona from the gallery, which made the hike up the hill well worth it (although it was also a good way of using up some of the calories from the delicious tapas the night before!)

We said farewell to Barcelona, and to our 10 weeks of backpacking around Asia and Europe, and hopped on the plane to Sweden ready for some settling in and also more fun and games...
