It took a while to clear all
the officials but once I was on the plane it was a smooth flight from
Casablanca to Barcelona, followed by the aerobus to near where I was
staying, then a short walk and I found my home for the next week. The
owners were hanging over the balcony, waving down furiously to me,
all smiles. An AirBnB gem all the way!
Manuel spoke Spanish and
smiled and sign languaged a lot, as I did in return. Miquel spoke
English and gave me all the info I needed. All was good. Top floor
apartment, at the corner of the building overlooking a cross road.
Although tiny, it felt light and spacious and had absolutely
everything I needed – including a lift! Walking distance to
everything. Winner!
That's me, top corner with the white plant pots |
Odd shape, but so comfy |
All I needed in a kitchen |
Plenty of space for one |
Looking towards Placa de la Universitat |
Not to mention being in a box seat for several late night lightning shows 🙂
After settling in I went out
for a bite to eat. I was tired from a day spent travelling from one
continent to another but it was too early to go to bed. After a small
wander around the immediate area, I sat in the Placa de la
Universitat and watched the world go by for a while. Then ‘home’
for an excellent night’s sleep!
