Our first ever experience on a "Hop On - Hop Off" Bus
This method of transit had both good and bad points
It cost about $30 per person good for 1 day You could buy a 10 trip Metro card for $10 per person good all year
On the Elegant Passeig de Gracia	Steven checked out the mechandise at Gucci
We could take these photos from the bus because we spent a good deal of time stopped in traffic or waiting for lights to change
Our destination was the circular building in the background behind the Placa de Espana It used to be a bullfighting stadium. Now it has been converted into a shopping mall
Plaça d'Espanya is one of Barcelona's most important squares, built on the occasion of the 1929 International Exhibition, held at the foot of Montjuïc
The interior of the mall is more than just stores as this motion activated light show demonstrates
New clothes were necessary since our luggage was all sent to Madrid	Nice choices!
Back on the bus We got off at the wharf area Interesting sculpture here
With our mall shopping done, we checked out some local offerings
