Barcelona 2021 - Part 2

Arriving In Barcelona
 
Tuesday - October 19th 2021
 
After we got up, we packed our stuff and then we took the bus to the terminal. We had planned more time for check in due to corona measures, however it took only a couple of minutes and so we had plenty of time for breakfast. We ordered a coffee and a pretzel each and waited for our flight to depart. Around noon we landed at Barcelona Airport and once we passed the corona security check, we searched for the train station. Our initial plan was to take the train into the city and from there to catch the train towards PortAventura. When we arrived in the city, we realized the next train to the themeparks was departing in the late afternoon. So we left our luggage at the train station and walked to the next vegan restaurant at a nearby shopping center. The restaurant was called Supervegan and after we both got a delicious vegan burger, we headed to Barcelona Olympic Park. There we just walked around and stopped at an outdoor bar for drinks until it was time to catch the train to Salou.

The train ride from Barcelona to PortAventura near Salou took about two hours and around 6:00pm we arrived at the resort. At first we wanted to walk to our hotel, but unfortunately there weren't any side walks. That's why we took a taxi to our hotel. At PortAventura we stayed at the Gold River Hotel, one of the few hotels that was open during off season. Check-in was quick and easy and once we dropped off our luggage in our room, Claudia and I got a welcome beer at the hotel bar. Later we got hungry and ate at The Opera, one of the two hotel restaurants. We ordered a veggie wrap and a veggie burger and both dishes were fine.
