Today we hit the Barcelonetta (took the subway)  and dipped our toes into the Mediterranean.  The beaches were nice with shower stands to wash off the sand and plenty of topless women!  We sat in a small beach café and sipped on a mojito and enjoyed the sun.  After walking around the coast in the Barcelonetta we went in search of dinner at El Quatro Gats (the 4 cats – recommended by Bill and Lane)  There we had a fabulous dinner.  Jeff had the Lamb shoulder and I had the famous Monkfish stew.  Dinner was topped off with a special treat of cava (champagne) from the waiter.  From here we toured the street of La Born where we stopped off for some vino tinto and San Miguel (beer).  Patrons were enjoying cocktails and tapas.  This was a fun area filled with little bars and restaurants.  Once again we finished our evening with a small pitcher of sangria at the cerveceria around the corner from our hotel (hoppin’ bar!!!  Always packed.)
