Relaxing Barcelona style

After two full on days we had a more relaxing day filled with shopping, eating and wandering the streets of Barcelona. 
We headed to the cathedral (not La Sagrada Familia) which we'd previously glimpsed, and circumnavigated it whilst also looking in a few nearby shops. 


Then we wandered down to the marina, before heading back for a delicious three-course lunch opposite the cathedral. Lunch included gazpacho, veal steak for Jane and pork fillet for Ed, and lemon sorbet for dessert.


After lunch we had a look in FNAC and Ed bought a couple of CDs. 
Siesta isn't as common here compared with other parts of Spain but smaller shops often shut for two or three hours in the afternoon so we headed back to the hotel for a rest.
Late in the afternoon we went to look in some of the stores in the El Born area. It's a cool area with lots of narrow laneways filled with bars, restaurants and cool shops. 


Ed bought three shirts from two different stores:


We had a light dinner at a Tapas bar in the same area.
