After we finished looking around at the Olympic stadium we wanted to go see the Castle of Montjuic that
was nearby. The Castle was up on top of a very large hill and instead of walking up this huge hill Mom and I decided to take the cable car up. That was a very good decision and the views from inside the cable car were beautiful. The Castle was amazing. The castle was once used to house political prisoners and today it's used to house the Museum of Comics and Illustrations, showcasing the development of Spanish comics. The castle has amazing gardens and beautiful views of the port.

After leaving the castle we headed back towards our hotel. We wanted to go by and see the port and the beach before calling it a night. The port is located at the very end of the main street. We walked there and walked around for a few hours. After seeing the port we wanted to find the beach because we knew that eventually we wanted to spend some time at the beach. After walking for forever we finally found it. Here are some pictures we took of the port and the beach.

After a long day we needed some sangria. Look at how big those cups were. I successfully finished mine, Mom did not.
