4.-7. 4. 2025
S sladkim pričakovanjem smo se v zgodnjih jutranjih urah z avtobusom odpeljali iz Maribora na letališče v Zagreb, od koder smo ob poleteli v Barcelono. Let je hitro minil in takoj po pristanku smo se odpeljali do manjšega katalonskega mesteca Figueres, kjer smo si ogledali muzej enega najbolj kontroverznih umetnikov vseh časov, Salvadorja Dalíja. Po ogledu izjemno zanimivega muzeja, kjer je umetnik tudi pokopan, smo se odpravili proti letoviškemu obmorskemu mestecu, kjer smo se nastanili v hotelu za nočitev.
Naslednje jutro smo se po okusnem zajtrku odpeljali v Barcelono, najprej na Montjuic do olimpijskega stadiona, od koder se nam je razprostrl čudovit pogled na Barcelono. Ob spustu s hriba nas je na dnu pozdravil kip Krištofa Kolumba, ki z roko kaže proti Ameriki. Peljali smo se mimo La Pedrere, Gaudijeve kreacije, in nato proti njegovim sanjam, Sagradi Familii, eni redkih katedral na svetu, ki je še v gradnji. Sledil je prosti čas za slastno kosilo po lastni izbiri. Popoldan smo nadaljevali na Placa de Catalunya, mestnem središču s številnimi trgovinami, uličnimi umetniki, golobi … Naše raziskovanje se je nadaljevalo po La Rambli, najbolj imenitnem sprehajališču, in končalo v gotski četrti, Barri Gotic. Prijetno utrujeni smo se vrnili v hotel, kjer je večerji sledila nočitev.
Zadnji dan našega potepanja smo se po zajtrku odpeljali do enega najlepših parkov, Park Güell, in nekaj časa namenili raziskovanju tega parka. Popoldan smo nato obiskali interaktivni muzej Camp Nou, v katerem smo preko zgodovinskih trenutkov, legendarnih igralcev in zmagoslavij potovali skozi preteklost, sedanjost in prihodnost Barce. Razigranemu ogledu in nakupovanju v trgovini Barce je sledil prevoz na letališče v Barceloni, od koder smo poleteli proti Trstu, kjer nas je že čakal avtobus za Maribor, kamor smo se polni novih vtisov vrnili v zgodnjih jutranjih urah.
Excursion to Barcelona
April 4–7, 2025
With eager anticipation, we departed from Maribor in the early morning hours, taking a bus to Zagreb Airport, where we boarded our flight to Barcelona. The journey passed quickly, and upon landing, we travelled to the small Catalonian town of Figueres, where we visited the museum of one of the most controversial artists of all time, Salvador Dalí. After exploring the incredibly fascinating museum—where the artist is also buried—we continued toward a coastal resort town, where we checked into a hotel for the night.
The next morning, after a delicious breakfast, we headed into Barcelona. Our first stop was Montjuïc and the Olympic Stadium, which offered a stunning view of the city. As we descended the hill, we were greeted at the bottom by the statue of Christopher Columbus, pointing toward America. We passed by La Pedrera, one of Gaudí’s masterpieces, and continued toward his ultimate vision—Sagrada Família, one of the few cathedrals in the world still under construction. After some free time to enjoy a delicious lunch of our choice, we moved on to Plaça de Catalunya, the city’s vibrant centre, bustling with shops, street artists, pigeons, and more. Our exploration continued along La Rambla—the city’s most famous promenade—and ended in the Gothic Quarter, Barri Gòtic. Pleasantly exhausted, we returned to our hotel, where dinner was followed by a restful night.
On the final day of our journey, after breakfast, we visited one of the most beautiful parks in Barcelona—Park Güell—and spent some time exploring its wonders. In the afternoon, we toured the interactive museum of Camp Nou, where we travelled through the history, legendary players, and triumphs of Barça—from past to present and into the future. After the lively visit and some shopping at the Barça store, we headed to the airport in Barcelona, where we caught a flight to Trieste. Upon arrival, a bus was waiting to take us back to Maribor, where we returned in the early morning hours, full of new impressions and memories.
