Day 4 – Tue 27 Mar 07
After breakfast, we checked out of Expo Hotel and left our luggages with the concierge for storage. Collected our Rail tickets from the train station, and then took the Metro to Les Corts.
Visited FC Barcelona Stadium (Entrance: €9.90 each). It is the largest soccer stadium in Europe and 3rd largest in the world. It has a capacity for 110,000 people. We toured the dressing room, press conference area, chapel, grounds, pitch area and football museum.
After the tour, we walked around the stadium area and checked out El Corte Ingles (a departmental store). Had our lunch at a Submarine Café - Pizza, Chicken and Rice.
Back at the hotel area, we saw the sculpture at Parc Joan Miro by the avant-garde artist. After collecting our luggages, we headed back to Sants Estacio station to take the ‘Renfe Euromed’ to Valencia (Alicante station) at 6 pm. Along the train ride, we saw the outskirts of Barcelona and the coast.
We arrived at Valencia at 9 pm. Took the Metro to another Expo Hotel at Turia Station. This time it is a 3-star hotel, though a little small but pretty decent .
After we have checked in, Sam went out to get dinner at the shopping mall behind the hotel. It was drizzling and the weather's quite gloomy. Had McDonald’s for dinner and washed clothes as we only brought 5 days change of clothes!
