Around 6:00 A.M. on Jan. 4th 2025, we checked out and left the key on the table.

High-speed rail in Spain

The train looks very like high-speed rail in China. After seeing the real-time speed, I confirmed that it indeed is the high-speed rail, which runs fast at 300 kilometers per hour.

Inside space is larger than high-speed rail in China. Train here has four seats per row, which is one fewer than China.

Barcelona train station

Barcelona train station looks very simple, but the atmosphere here was much better than bus station in Lisboa.

The first time we went to metro, we saw a guy was evading ticket.

Barcelona Cathedral

Barcelona Cathedral only looks good from the front, while other 3 faces are too simple and dilapidated.

Columbus Monument in Barcelona

It was dark when we came to Columbus Monument in Barcelona, a tall and stand building. Why I said it is strange is because it has distinct border between light and dark.

The water is quite cheap compared to Lisbon, where 1.5L water cost me 2 EUR. In Barcelona, 6.25L only took me 2.09 EUR. The fruits are also very cheap compared to Stockholm.

The big shopping mall looks fancy with its lights on in the darkness.

It’s very late now after finishing this blog, so I need to go to bed. Jan. 4th 2025. My pen is broke now, I hope it can hold on till the end of the trip. The quality of PILOT is not as good as before due to there are two bad pen show same problems. I did not drop off them without cap closed. Maybe it is time to change the model or brand of my writing tool.
