Enjoying those Pagan Holidays (as we all know I do), my flat mates, friends and I all trekked to the top of Gaudi’s Parc Güell to celebrate the very first day of summer. Paolo and I rode our bikes to the park (an impressive feat that can only be appreciated when you know the altitude of the park), the 12 of us then prepared a picnic (which means a lot of wine) and quietly entered the park just around midnight, well after the park had officially closed. We proceeded to make our way up to The Three Crosses which is a gathering of three stone crucifixes at the very top of the park knowing this location provides one of the most spectacular views of the entire city because it’s on the side of Tibidabo, Barcelona’s highest mountain. We rang the summer in with style and the surprise firework display over the Mediterranean Sea capped things off nicely. The mass quantities of wine and sangria only made the 4am bicycle ride home that much more interesting.
