Montserrat
Took Cremallera (mountain climbing train) to Montserrat which is a Benedictine monk mountain retreat.
Church of Colònia Güell
Took train and went down to Santa Coloma de Cervelló to see Colònia Güell and its church which is unfinished job by Gaudi. Colònia Güell was a large clothing factory town where employees and their families were living.

Parc de la Ciutadella
The end of another day and cava (sparkling wine) which I bought at a local supermarket is waiting for me.
The 4 Gats
I thoughts it was 4 Cats but apparently not. It is 4 Gats. According to Wiki Pablo Picasso visited this pub-restaurant often in his early career.
The Palau de la Música Catalana
This musical theater was also designed by Domenech. It is absolutely not allowed to take photo inside of the theater but it is like this.
Siete Portes
Took lunch at Restaurant 7 Portes. Monk-fish soup and seafood paella, superb. People working there are very gentle and polite, and they understand how they should serve.
Placa Reial
A famous square next to La Rambla. Famous clubs, restaurants, meeting place, events taking place in new year, at La Merce, etc. Seems like a spot to visit at night during summer. BTW, this light tower was also designed by Gaudi.
La Bougeria
A large market where you can find every kind of food including one hard to hit in the northern Europe.
