Today we got up pretty early; we were disappointed to find Ikea closed as we'd planned to eat breakfast there again. But, the city was asleep, so we took the car up Mt Tibidabo. Mark had forgotten his wallet back at the hotel, so we had to go back to get it, but...even then, the city was still asleep. We parked right across from the Miro Museum.
We enjoyed several hours in the museum. We watched a film which explained his life and philosophy of art. The Spanish Civil War and then, WWII, had a major impact on his art, pushing him away from realism and toward surrealism. We like his colors and whimsy. The day was glorious and we went up to the top of Tibidabo and looked down on the city and sea.
En route back to the hotel, we stopped at a big flea market for fun. After a lie down, to give our feet a well-needed rest, we took the train/subway back into the city and meet Chris and Ken. They had spent much of their day at Parc Guell. We ate paella and drank sangria outside, enjoying the sun as it set.
