Chapter 94 The girl under the cherry tree

ps: Watch the exclusive story behind "He Comes From the End of Times", listen to your more suggestions for the novel, follow the official account (add friends on WeChat - add official account - enter dd), and tell me quietly!

It is said that the best saffron is produced in Valencia, no wonder the most famous Spanish risotto comes from there. Most Europeans like stiffer and more chewy rice, so the rice in the paella she eats there is simply "rare rice" in Asians, but for people with a very European taste, Yunluo, it is just right.

Tapas is another Spanish specialty food that must be mentioned. This small portion and suitable for sharing is very similar to the Spanish unrestrained and casual temperament, becoming the representative of this country.

In fact, tapas are side dishes with wine, and there are many types: fried fish, onion rings, squid rings, chips, fish, etc. I think the prototype of Pizza Hut’s snack platter should be Spanish tapas.

Larambla is one of the most famous boulevards in Europe. The long ribbon extends down from the Plaza de Catalonia to the port area is more than 1,800 meters long.

The security issues here are very famous. Before I arrived in Barcelona, ​​I heard about various scams from various posts, such as guessing which bowl the ball is in, dancing paper villains, splashing dirty things on you, touching your wallet while you are watching the fun, KFC thieves, etc.

Yun Luo and Yan Chenyu, who were frightened by the experience of these seniors, did not dare to take out their cameras at all on Rambla Street. They did not dare to take out their cameras until they were about to reach the Columbus Watchtower to press the last figures of Rambla Street. In fact, Rambla Street was not as bad as they imagined. Spanish police sent a lot of police forces to patrol the streets.

Those who commit crimes will also be more restrained. In a word, be careful and don’t watch the excitement. Ignore strangers to pick up a conversation. Many troubles can be avoided.

Walking to the end of Rambla Street is the port area, where the Columbus Watch Tower stands here. In 1493, when Columbus returned from his first voyage, the Catholic Kings Isabel and Fernando welcomed his triumph in Barcelona. To commemorate this historical event, it is also to celebrate the 1888 World Expo.

The Barcelona authorities decided to erect a monument for Columbus. During the 1888 World Expo, the Columbus Watch Tower was officially completed. This towering cylindrical monument was all built with ochre-red marble. The tower is 60 meters tall and contains two lines of large characters "Glory belongs to Columbus" and "Salute to Columbus".

It is said that this is the largest statue of Columbus in the world. The statue holds a book in one hand and points to the direction of the American continent with the other. This finger has achieved the ambition of the Spaniards, but it is a disaster for the American people. The location of the tower is the end of the Rambla Street and the starting point of the visit to the port area, symbolizing the connection between the city center and the harbor.

Walking in the port area, the romantic atmosphere of Barcelona hits you, yes. Where there is sea water, there is naturally soft mood. Sitting here, blowing the sea breeze, looking at the blue sky, I think of another masterpiece of Woody Allen, "Midnight Barcelona". It is highly recommended.

As the evening approached, Yunluo and Yan Chenyu turned to Barcelona. It was divided into two by Rambla Street, very small and more suitable for walking tours. The cathedral is a landmark building in this area.

The cathedral is built on the ruins of the former Romans, and from time to time you can find the elclaus (elclaustre) that supports the basement house. It is the most popular among tourists. However, the opening is limited by time. It is undeniable that the Holy Family Cathedral conceals the charm of the Cathedral of Barcelona.

When I walked from the cathedral to the Catalan concert hall, it suddenly started to rain. It was not heavy, but it was very artistic, because Yunluo and Yan Chenyu were wandering in the most charming things in Barcelona.

The Catalan Concert Hall was built from 1905 to 1908 in a modernist style. The designer was the architect Louis Domeneque Montanel. The concert hall is located in a narrow street with rich facade decoration. It combines a variety of elements, including traditional Spanish and Arabic elements.

The exterior wall of the concert hall is based on the group sculptures created by folk songs, the group sculptures that symbolize national and classical music on the stage arches, sculptures such as the muse on the background wall, and its most prominent features are colorful sculptures and ceramic mosaic decorations. As well as stained glass painting windows, ubiquitous mosaic puzzles and paintings, the entire building is combined into an overall work of art.

Today, more than 500,000 people attend various musical performances at the Catalan Music Palace every year, from symphony and chamber music to jazz and Canso (Catalan songs).

Barcelona's Arc de Triomphe feels very Russian. I have said before that the homework for this trip is not done properly. For Barcelona, ​​I only know that there is a Sagrada Familia, Barcelona, ​​and many beautiful buildings. I don't know anything else, let alone there is an Arc de Triomphe here.

After leaving the Catalan Concert Hall, Yunluo and Yan Chenyu were lost in the intricate path of the old city. However, after just a turn, they saw the Arc de Triomphe that they had never known. It was built as the main entrance to the 1888 World Expo and built with red bricks, which belongs to the Moorish Revival style.

The front lintel is carved with ‘barcelonareplesnacions’ (“Barcelona welcomes all countries”), and the back lintel is called ‘repen’. The top of the Arc de Triomphe is decorated with the provincial emblems of the other 49 provinces in Spain. The Arc de Triomphe is located at the end of the wide avenue of the Pas Color Igdel ispanys leading to the castle park.

The surprise I found inadvertently is the best seasoning in my trip. Unfortunately, it was cloudy when I arrived here, but the clouds could still imagine that the beautiful scene here would be if it was a sunny day: the blue sky, white clouds, the red Arc de Triomphe, the straight road behind her and the green grass on both sides of the road would form a beautiful scene like a painting.

Yunluo and Yan Chenyu sat here for a while, briefly adjusted their fatigue after a day of rushing. They watched many dogs play and prepared to take the subway to return to the hotel.

When the subway arrived at the hotel, how could Yunluo and Yan Chenyu be willing to end the day's storm like this? My mother proposed to go back to the hotel first, so Yunluo and Yan Chenyu threw her back to the hotel and continued the storm at the last time of the day - from the hotel to Plaza de España.

In fact, it is very close. From the intersection where the hotel is located, you don’t even need to turn around. You can see Piazza España in half an hour. Although it is incomparable to Piazza España in Rome, its beauty is undeniable. Piazza España is one of the largest squares in Barcelona. It was built for the 1929 World Expo and is located at the foot of Mount Montjoch.

She is the intersection of several main roads: the Catalonian Parliament Avenue (Gra Idiolescortscatalanes), the parallel avenue (avingududalparal?lel), the Carrerdetarragona Street, and the Queen Maria Christina Avenue (avingudadadelareinama Acc Stina).

The latter leads to the National Palace with the Catalonian National Museum of Art. The fountain in the center of the square was designed by Jose PMA Ajujol.

The arenas debarcelona on the square was originally a bullfighting ring. It was built in 1900. It was revived in the Moorish style and has now been converted into a shopping mall. There is an elevator to send tourists to the top of the arena to enjoy the scenery of Barcelona, ​​with an elevator fee of 1 euro per person.

There is now a circle of restaurants on the top of the bullfighting ring. Each restaurant has romantic music that Yunluo and Yan Chenyu can't understand. If I hadn't bought it in a supermarket near the hotel before, it would be a pleasure to have a romantic dinner here.

In fact, this is not the commanding heights of Barcelona, ​​nor is it the best place to enjoy the panoramic view of Barcelona. The Holy Family Cathedral and the UJUIC Mountain are the best places to enjoy the panoramic view of Barcelona. Yunluo and Yan Chenyu walked around the top twice and took the elevator down. The pets you take to show their faces wherever you go. Don’t think that Yunluo is a lunatic.

Standing on the elevator in the bullfighting ring, you can see two 47-meter-high Venice towers next to the Queen Maria Christina. To the south of Venice is the magnificent National Museum of Art, and further south is the 1992 Barcelona Olympics venue.

Let me explain: Yunluo takes the tour of Piazza Espanyol, Veniceta, National Museum of Art and Olympic Stadium in the area called the "Monjeic District" tour, the second night in Barcelona (that is, today, the first night was the night when I arrived at Barcelona Railway Station at 10 pm last night.

Yunluo and Yan Chenyu only visited Piazza Spain and the bullfighting ring, and visited Veniceta and the National Museum of Art from afar on the sightseeing platform of the bullfighting ring. After a day of storm on the third night, they continued to visit Veniceta and the National Museum of Art, as well as the Olympic Stadium.

But for the consistency of the post, the tour notes of the next night were first advanced to the present, and connected with the next night so that everyone can see the complete Mongeek District tour guide.

Okay, the tour of Monjayk District continues.

Walk south from Veniceta along the Queen Maria Christina Avenue, the Magic Fountain and the National Museum of Art of Catalonia are not far away. There are many parliamentary halls and exhibitions on both sides of the Avenue of Maria Christina Avenue.
