Been here almost a whole week and have slowly realized that Barcelona is not as big of a city as I thought. Don't get me wrong its extremely busy no matter where you go. Today  I went on a 3 hour bike ride and was able to go through the entire city. Unfortunately, was not able to take lot of pictures because we were not able to stop. But here is a glance at some interesting places.  

This is where the Bishop lives and recently when the Pope was here in Barcelona no too long ago this is where he stayed. Fun fact is that The Bishop is our neighbor this is exactly next to our apartment, we can't meet the Bishop though.

Gaudi art is well known in Barcelona and is a must see. I haven't been to the Museums but was able to see his art displayed throughout the city. This is what we would consider central park of Barcelona, 16 artist involved in the making of this fountain including Gaudi.

Also went by the Barcelona Zoo

 
These are the government buildings where many protests take place even though they are not violent you will find groups of people rallying outside.

 

 

These are some of the outdoor cafes that are very popular to go to.

 

 

Went to the ports, the world trade center, where the Olympic arena was built years back. As well the crowed beaches.
