Now we could relax and have some breakfast. Even though the hotel did a fine looking breakfast in a beautiful room for 30 Euros we wanted to be outside having our first great coffee of the day. Luckily there was an outdoor cafe just 10 yards from the hotel.
Cafe de Francesco...
This double espresso was so good I had two of them and felt energized. There was just one waitress working this large number of people so I had to be patient and finally caught her eye to place an order.
After half an hour of coffee drinking and enjoying the aromas from the cafe we had to eat something and so we both ordered a "Bikini Sandwich". Ham and cheese in a fresh warm croissant and I took a few bites before remembering I had a camera. So tasty!
My favorite pastime is to sit at a cafe outdoors and drink coffee (or beer) and watch the world go by.
However when the cafe got really busy we decided to move somewhere quieter and have that beer I was just talking about. Back to the rooftop bar in the hotel!
Always a crowd waiting to get into Casa Batllo. We would be there much later in the day.
I enjoyed an Estrella draught beer and some flavorful olives and most of all the peace and quiet of the bar with few people around
Cool artwork around the pool
My waitress today was a young girl from Ireland, working here for the summer. So we had something to chat about when she came to the table.
This rooftop bar is Officially my favorite place in all Barcelona. La Sagrada Familia crowns the view
We would soon leave for the short two block walk north to la Pedrera. Hope to see you there!
