The bus has two Routes and each Route takes just over 2 hr if you do not get off.

We started on the Green Route at stop #11, we were staying about a 10 min walk away.
- We rode from Green #11 to the common point of stop #1. We got off at Placa Catalunya and then had to wait about 20min for the next Orange Route bus.
- The Orange Route proved to be more interesting. It went to the water front & dock area. Then past the Picasso Museum, Magic Fountains, and the 1992 Summer Olympics site.
- Once around the Orange Route and we got off at stop #1. We walked around the Plaza and because the plaza was very busy we ate a late lunch at Burger King.
- Then we to wait for the next Green Route bus. We got off at stop #11 across from the Sagarada Familia. A long day riding, but we saw a lot of Barcelona.

We had an interesting experience with the ticket taker on the Green Route.

- When we were waiting, about 25 min, for the Green Route bus and we were at the front of the line to board.
- The bus arrived and suddenly a man walked directly to the front of the line and stopped directly in front of us,
- I was disturbed by this and nicely told him that the back of the line was well behind us.
- In response he removed his back pack and entered the bus with his shirt showing a Barcelona City Tour logo.
- As we got boarded the bus I found him with a big smile on as he looked at are tickets.
- We were surprise when we exited the bus he followed us off and when I told him that we had enjoyed the day he stepped back for this photo.
- We found in Barcelona that everyone was very friendly and helpful.

We noticed a painter covering up some graffiti.

It was starting to get dark so he stopped for the night.

The next day he completed the painting.
