We landed in Barcelona and were blown away by the airport. It was nicer than most malls in the US. Tons of high-end shops, clean, well lit, spacious. Very nice welcome to Spain.
We grabbed a taxi and had a little issue. The driver had no idea where we needed to go. He looked in his books, used his GPS and didn't have a clue. We had pulled out of the taxi line and then pulled over while he was trying to find it. Meanwhile, the meter was running. We said we would take another cab, so he backed up and we got out. Then another driver helped him and he reset the meter and off we went.
Barcelona is a very busy and diverse town. Tons of traffic, lots of people, vendors everywhere, etc. the complete opposite of everything we've seen so far, but a fun change.
We dropped out stuff off in our room and took off to wander the Ramblas. What a sight...traffic zipping along on each side of this large pedestrian walkway, vendors selling, every language you can think of being spoken around you. It was great.
