Travel through the City |
| The
best kids impressions of Barcelona became a great Zoo (a large lodging for numerous animals) and a Maritime Museum. In addition to parents
ideas you should consider the Science Museum which offered a playground
of science designed specifically for children, in addition to a wide
variety of interesting hands-on exhibits to interest the whole family.
The historical location in the Parc de Montjuic was built for the 1929
World's Fair and is a recreation of a Spanish village containing over
100 reproductions of monuments and buildings beginning from the 10th
century. It sounds something like Williamsburg, Virginia, with artisans
demonstrating their crafts. When the family was hungry they entered
a restaurant or a cafe to taste Spanish dishes there. Though their
Barcelona lodging with its comfortable kitchen waited for them. Also
in the Parc de Montjuic the oldest persons of the family found amusement
park rides, outdoor music concerts and other festivities during their
evening walks. The Costa Brava was quite crowded during July, and their
travel dated just in July. The medieval city of Girona is the capital
of this region. Nelly and Nick worn comfortable shoes climbed almost
100 steep steps to reach the fabulous Cathedral which dated from the
14th century. As their family loved museum, they could choose between
an art museum, a history museum and an archeological museum. Tapestries,
paintings and manuscripts were viewed amidst the incredible architecture.
The ancient quarter of the city offered to visit Arab baths with examples
of both hot and cold pools. They saw the history of the Jewish community
with its lodging and public places like market. Mary and Basil preferred
to spend days on the beaches Mar Gran or La Bauma. Nelly and her Mom
are both fond of arts by Salvator Dali. They spent some time exploring
Figueres where he was born and died in 1989, and where there is a museum
dedicated to his surrealist art works. Nick and his father-in-law are
fond of football. They were glad to be near the FC Barcelona which
is a famous sports club based in Barcelona. The club is best known
for its football team. With the seating capacity for 100,000 people,
FC is the biggest privately owned stadium in the world. It is one of
the most visited tourist attractions of Barcelona. The three men of
the family visited it. |
