Low-cost flight landed in BCN late in the evening. There is a bus stop right in front of terminal 2 but no ticket vending machine. To buy your cheap T-10 ticket for city transport (10 rides, 9,95 euro) you have to run via overground passage to the train station with all your stuff! I was afraid I will be late for the last bus PR1 at 22.50. Sweaty but lucky I finally boarded thebus and some 15 min later very helpful driver dropped me near my Hostal Cal Siles. Clean single with bath outside costs 20 euros and sybway starion is on the other side of the street. Very good choice for late arrival!
I the morning I took bus 165 to the center of Barcelona. Lovely sun, 25 deg Celsius… From Plaza Espania I climbed to the gardens of Montjuic. From the castle there is a lovely view of the port and old town.
Then I passed Columbus monument, walking all the way famous Rambla… Memories…
In the afternoon I visited quite new place: by sybway-funicular- minibus I went to the top of another mountain facing Barcelona from the north – Tibidabo. At the top there is nice church (lower church has ornate decoration, upper – the terrace with a view of the city). In the streets there are much more tourists then 16 years ago. But Barcelona still has a charm… Very busy, but great day!
