The view

The view from the top of the tower was worth the measly 200 steps. We even found the cathedral I'd been looking for! We had about 10-15 minutes to enjoy the view before our timed tour was over and we had to scale those tiny stairs down. Going down on a tiny spiral staircase is more difficult than going up and we know that from home. But everyone does well. Somehow we don't even feel so hot after doing this in the heat of Barcelona. And Barcelona is hot. The temperature figure is lower than Madrid but it's humid and a busy dirty city. I didn't get a photo of La Rambla, the main thoroughfare through the centre of the city. It's huge wide and very very busy. Despite the width it is still having with tourists as far as the eye can see. It makes Barcelona much more tiring than Madrid.
