Monday 5th October - Gaudi's Casa Batllo There were hundreds of people outside the Casa de Batllo taking photos and another hundred in the queue to get into the building to have a look around.

We got to the Passeo de Gracia which is the main wide, wide street of Barcelona and has all of the big brand labels in the shops there, like Gucci, Tiffany, Louis Vutton, Stella McCartney, Jimmie Choo.
