In the evening they went with us to a grubby little bar across the Ramblas from our street - Flamenco music and dancing. Later we walked back down the Ramblas and went to the Cosmos for dinner at 11pm That's dinner time in Barcalona.
Had breakfast then ventured into Barcelona. Went to the docks, Montjuic and the Palau Nacionale. Along the way, a bunch of guys started following us. We stopped for a Pepsi in the funicular station and they talked us into going with them to a place where they practice bullfighting Juan and Jesus got the horns and cape and showed us how it was done. They told us that they fought bulls in the ring in Malaga.
