A Day in Borne

To avoid the craziness caused by the protest in the main plaza, a group of us got lunch at a good lunch spot, Sandwich and Friends, and spent the day in the Barcelona neighborhood, El Born Barrio.  This is by far one of my favorite barrios in Barcelona.  There are tons of cute shops, bakeries, gelato shops, bars, and restaurants, and is located right next to the Parc de la Ciutadella and the Arc de Triomf.

Cupcakes in El Born!

 Mexican food in El Born.  We are planning on trying it out Wednesday night!

There was also a fun candy shop called "Happy Pills."  You can fill up a clear, "medicine bottle" of candy, and there are fun stickers you can put on the bottles that tell you when to use the medicine/candy. I didn't really get a cute store front picture of it, but I'm keeping the bottle as a souvenir!
