The next morning we started off a bit later than normal had headed over to Park Ciudadela. It was yet another beautiful day to walk around so we weaved our way through the park, past Barcelona’s Arc de Trionf, the zoo, the greenhouse and the geology museum. 
We hung around the park until after church got out and headed over to the Catedral de Santa Eulalia. This church is known for its lack of light and enclosed cloister. The 12 white geese housed in the cloister are supposed to represent the 12 forms of torture that Santa Eulaia survived. After the church, we intended to go to the Picasso museum, but decided against it when we saw the line – we should have known better, since it was free to enter at that time of day! Instead we went shopping in the Barrio Gothic and Born.
We finished off the day at Set Portes (7 doors) restaurant. This is a famous restaurant down by the water that specializes in fish dishes. Tia and I split and excellent cod dish, along with a Spanish sausage and white beans. We ended the meal with 5 assorted tartlets which were very yummy.
(I saw this sign on the side of the building on the way to the restaurant... I wondered if that's where they chase the bulls?)
