Today was our last day to sleep late on this trip. This evening we join the Tauck Week in Spain trip and we know from experience that the days will start early.
We walked from our hotel to the Picasso Museum which is just outside the main Gothic area of Barcelona. The museum is in several old buildings that have been beautifully joined together. There was a special exhibition besides the main one. The special one was a photographic one with photos of Picasso and his friends from different times and showed his studio and workshops. The main exhibit followed his career from his early works onward. It was interesting to see his style change.
We then wandered around seeing some beautiful plazas and the lovely buildings in the Gothic quarter.
September 11th is Cataluna day (Barcelona is in Cataluna) and there were lots of people out in the streets and many stores and shops were closed. There was also a demonstration, because the Catalans wanted to separate from Spain and at the last election it was voted down.

We came back to the hotel to rest and then met our touring group. Most of the people on the tour are seniors like us.
Early to bed because we start at 8:20 in the morning.
