Continuing my photo journey around the capital of Catalonia, I hopped on the trusty double decker bus to have a quick tour of the city. I used the City Sightseeing Bus Tour Company for my city hop on-hop off.
For short trips (specially on a solo travel), most of the time I rely on a double decker bus to give me a glimpse of what I can see in a city. From there, I will choose which one I want to spend my time visiting.
I was able to get a quick view of this beautiful city and spent the night walking around. Barcelona is such a wonderful and vibrant city and I will visit this city again and again in a heart beat if given an opportunity.

The Magic Fountain of Montjuic. It's amazing how many people cramped in this place to see the fountain show. My carpool friends and I said to meet here, from the looks of it, you'll know that we didn't find each other hahaha. Oh well, or should I say, oh fountain LOL.[/caption]

After a full day of walking, getting and getting lost I almost forgot to eat. Most of the restaurants were already closed, good thing this small tapas shop was open and I was so happy to meet the owner got my serving of tapas, bruschetta and sangria.[/caption]
