2nd Day in Barcelona - 1st Part

This is the Sagrada Familia, the Cathedral of Barcelona. We just went to see the outside, we will go and visit the inside later.


That was the back of the Cathedral which is the first thing you see whenever you come out of the metro, right behind you. The next picture below is the front of the Cathedral.

After seeing the cathedral, we went to a restaurant famous for its tapas. The tapas aren't expensive but the drinks and desserts will cost more than the tapas themselves.
This is a potato omelette on toast
This is veal with sweet peppers on toast
This is a sweet pepper stuffed with tuna on toastThis is a mushroom with parma ham on toastFor dessert, I had almond cake with a mint chocolate stick
Tom had an ice cream with whipped cream and melted chocolate.Here are some pictures of the restaurant:
