In the morning, we headed back to San Juan on the metro. After another number, some writing, and some paperwork, they stapled a stamped piece of paper into my passport. It was sadly exhilarating, but gratifying to finally get something after all that work.
Since we were in the north of the city, we walked up to Park Güell, a parked designed by Gaudi for a failed up-scale housing development. The gates looked like the gingerbread house from Hansel and Gretel. The famous Gaudi chameleon, a 3D mosaic, is also there. We wandered sleepily through the paths, admiring the views of the city, the trees, and the random gaudi-ness – columns, gates, aqueducfs, etc.
We took the metero down to La Rambla, and wandered along on the port and the beach for a while. It was cold, but nice. When we got back, we grabbed our bags and headed to the train station for our night train to Granada.
