This morning after breakfast we visited Barcelona Cathedral. They started building the Cathedral in 1298 and provisionally finished it in 1450.
Our train to Valencia left at noon so our visit to the Barcelona Museum had to be short. The Museum tells the history of Barcelona since prehistoric times. The archaeological ruins in the basement of the museum are really fascinating. There are the remains of Roman building from around 300 AD. On top of them are the remains of a Chapel from around 600 AD. As you walk through the ruins more and more recent buildings are revealed.
Our train to Valencia took about three and a half hours. It was a smooth and uneventful ride.
Valencia is a beautiful city. We spent a couple of hours walking around and admiring the squares and the buildings.
We had a wonderful dinner at a restaurant near our hotel.
