Barcelona Day 1

We have been to Barcelona a few times. No 1 this time was the Maritime Museum. The Spanish Galley preceded the Spanish Galleon. They have a complete Galley except for the masts in this museum.  These were oared ships, 4 slaves to an oar. They were chained to the seat and that is where they lived, slept, ate and crapped.  We took the cable car to Barcelonetta, also a first for us. This beach is an old haunt and we couldn't resist the Seafood Paella and Sangria. We took a taxi to get back at 7 Euros, while the cable car was a 1 hour wait and 8 Euros each.

One cable or two
