Sister time day one!

Hello there!

These past few days have been very busy and especially now that my sister is here we have to take advantage of every single minute she is here! Even though sleeping wasn't what I meant, but I guess she needs to rest and I have time to write about our first day here together :)

Our day started with a tour to Parc Guell. No matter how many times I go there it is as beautiful as always...never going to get sick of it I guess :D

  Thank God that there was an escalator so that lazy people like us could just relax and enjoy the view! :D

 It was sunny!

Pretty! :)

 sexy ladyyyy ( she is going to hate me when she sees what I am writing :P )

And the two sisters together :) everybody thinks I am older than her...just to make it clear I am not! ;)

 Finally I got a picture with the lizard :D

 Acting smart...as always!

 And later...we went to Sagrada Familia :D Ulalaaaa

Pose

And now after a good rest we will go to Las Ramblas and then salsaaaa! :D

 

Have a nice evening and enjoy life! :)

Welcome to my neighbourhood

¡Hola!

I thought I would finally write a post about my new apartment! I just love the area where I live now and the lady who rents me the place is such a nice person!

 The view from my balcony at night...I am sorry for the bad quality of the picture :/

 One of the many hotels around the area!

 Yey! I have an elevator :D

Drinking coffee with my friend in my new living room :)

I really like my neighbourhood and my Spanish flatmate is very nice. It's good that she doesn't speak any english so I can practise my spanish :D

 

¡Que tengas un buen día!

Casa Batlló

¡Hola chicos!

I have wanted to visit Casa Batlló for a while now and today I finally had the courage to go there on my own. I normally hate going to places by myself, but now I wanted to take a really good look at it and I don't like when people have to wait for me. Even though I had a bit of bad luck while I was going to the museum because I spilled my coffee on the way and I had to go back home change my clothes...but at least I got some laundry done :D Anyway...let's go back to the museum!

Casa Batlló was designed by Antoni Gaudi and Josep Maria Jujol. It was property of the Batlló family which lived on the mainfloor of the house until the mid fifties. Casa Batlló is also known as Casa dels ossos (House of Bones) because of it's skeletal structure and it was built in 1877 (remodelled in 1904-1906). As most of Gaudi's works Casa Batlló was also inspired by different natural elemenents.

Don't hate me for putting so many pictures again. I found it so difficult to choose the best ones, because I took so many of them D:

The entrance...not bad ;)

mushroom-style :P

I wouldn't mind having a lunch room like this one :D

 Especially I liked the ceiling. When you turn the picture upside down it looks like a drop that falls into the water or a flower...

 Chimney

 the not so beautiful view from the terrace

The roof

more chimneys

 

 Passeig de Grácia

Me :D

 And that't how all the good things end...the last stairs and the tour was over :/

Even though it was a bit expensive ( 18 euros ) it was worth every penny! Probably one of the most amazing buildings I have ever seen so far! Absolutely gorgeus and I was so amazed of how many details it had...stunning! I totally recommend you to visit it ;)

 

Maybe my weekend isn't going to be that full of music and salsa after all, because now I am so tired that I don't think I have the energy to go anywhere! :/

I guess the museum was enough for today :) Have a nice evening!
