We got up early again to finish our packing and check out of the hotel. We still had a little time before we had to go to the airport, so we walked to Casa Milà, another apartement designed by Antoni Gaudí.
The outside is known for its interesting shapes, but the most impressive part about this building is its terrace. Unfortunately, we didn't go into the building to see it. Gaudí basically designed the roof as a plesant area for the residents to walk around.

After we took lots of pictures and walked around the gift shop, we took a bus back to the airport. The bus stop was located directly next to the 15M protests! It is always very interesting to see the different protest sites in the different cities we visit. The 15M protests in Barcelona are located in Plaza de Cataluña, a major plaza in the city.

Another area of the protests. It's very tiny and hard to see, but the people made a treehouse to sleep in the tree located on the far right of the picture.
The bus ride to the airport and the flight back to Santander went very smooth. We really did have a great weekend visiting Barcelona. We had plenty of time to see the sites we wanted to see without rushing. Surprisingly, I wasn't too exhausted after the trip. When I arrived back at my casa, I got a nap and prepared for another busy week at school.
