Day 10: Barcelona highlights tour, tapas & Flamenco

Today everyone enjoyed a privately guided highlights tour of Barcelona with our guide Patrick, we saw wonderful sights including Gaudi's Park Guell and of course the Sagrada Familia cathedral.  We went past the beaches and up to Montjuic hill, the site of the Barcelona Olympics in 1992.  After the tour the group enjoyed a walk to the famous Boqueria market, where everyone had lunch.  Then another ramble down the Ramblas and after a tapas style dinner, everyone went to a flamenco show.
