For our last full day in Barcelona, we started with the Barcelona Zoo, which was fabulous. My boys love a good zoo and miss our annual pass to the Cleveland Zoo, so I try to take them to at least one zoo/animal park every time we travel. The Barcelona Zoo did not disappoint. It had everything, including a dolphin show, gorillas, elephants, yet another lawless playground (this one had zip lines!), and all kinds of animals we hadn't seen before, which was a surprise. The kids loved the zoo, especially the dolphins. After the zoo, we went to eat paella at one of the most famous paella places and had "rich man's" paella--they took out all the shells and bones for us--which was delicious. E especially loved his and J ate all the seafood out of mine, which I appreciated! After lunch, we headed to the port for some people watching and a little shopping for Mommy (a Desigual outlet? yes, please!). We bribed the kids with trampoline bungee jumping if they behaved, which they did, and when all of that was done, we walked over to the beach, changed on the shore, and let the boys play in the freezing ocean waves. It was sunset, a great way to end our Barcelona visit!

This woman we met on the way to the zoo. She was making
huge bubbles, giving impromptu lectures on the wonders of physics,
and she let the boys try, much to their delight! |
