We spent a relaxing 3 nights exploring the Siesta side of Barcelona as opposed to the Fiesta side. We had a lovely hostel, booked very affordably, a little off the beaten track. Well, a lot off the beaten track, which was beautifully amidst a Spanish National Forest; it's just the metro didn't run super late out to it.
Our first day out, we explored an incredible market on the main drag, and got (I guess) fruit smoothies of incredible flavor and intensity. Our last night we got a taste of night life and some excellent tapas. We had to grab the 11:30 metro back, so the dancing hadn't really started in the streets, but we enjoyed ourselves anyway in a little plaza where a hippy band played Africanish looking instruments. We also found a roving Mariachi Band, or the spanish equivalent, who seemed to be having a lot of fun, in ther forest green outfits.
It was a good chance to rechage and prepare for going back to France, where we'll see if Nice and Monaco make up for our Parisian Dissapointment.
