After visiting the two Gaudi houses, we met Diana's friends, Emily and Patrick, at a very fancy restaurant. The food was quite fancy, with some exotic ingredients, including baked artichokes (yummy).
Then we went to Mont Juic, where the Olympics were held. The view from the top allowed us to see all of Barcelona, and the gardens in the park below were delightful.
At the bottom of the hill is a pavilion designed by Mies Van der Rohe. I didn't know who he was, but Don did . . . and I do now. Although I don't understand his minimalist look, I did appreciate his beautiful reflecting pool.
Our final stop was at a plaza near the hotel. In the evenings, Barcelonans gather in the plaza to visit and talk. Children were playing, adults were sitting, and the fountain was dancing.
It was a beautiful way to spend our last night in Barcelona.
