We had a 12:30 train to catch from Madrid to Barcelona so we checked out around 10 a.m. and headed to the train station. Since we love mass transit of all kinds, this waas a real treat to ride the high speed AVE train. It travels as fast as 276 km an hour, but so smooth you can sleep like a baby and believe me, with that gentle rocking motion, you really do! We arrived in Barcelona in just under 3 hours, got settled into our hotel room and stretched our legs walking up and down the famous Las Ramblas boulevard, which was just as fun and lively as we remembered from our very brief stay here about five years ago. The weather seems a bit warmer than it was in Madrid and not as breezy, so it made dining al fresco much more pleasant. Tomorrow we're planning to see the highlights of the city and we're really looking forward to seeing the famous Gaudi cathedral, La Familia Sagrada.
