When a weekend trip includes ticking off an activity from the master 'to do list', the lead up to the travel date is full of excitement. Olie was like a kid waiting for Christmas morning prior to this trip to Barcelona. The reason for his eagerness? It wasn't the paella or works by Gaudi that had him bouncing around on the Easyjet flight. It was the anticipation of watching FC Barcelona play at Camp Nou. So out came the matching scarves we had purchased at the Camp Nou tour in 2012 and we were ready for some La Liga football action.

Barcelona, Spain
So how many paellas and jugs of sangria can you eat over a 3 day period?Olie's answer: Four different types of paella and four servings of sangria.
Our weekend holiday was highlighted by awesome food, warm weather (a sunny 21 degrees adding some colour to our London sun-starved skin) and a trip to Camp Nou - home of the FC Barcelona football team. Barcelona, as a city has now made its way into our 'top' list as we loved so many aspects of the Catalan culture that we have promised ourselves a return trip.
