L'Aquarium de Barcelona, Port Vell, Catalonia, Spain - 23rd October 2017

The second full day of our Barcelona trip sees us visit the aquarium down at Port Vell. In the evening, the boys go for a sleep-over at Evelyn and Louise's apartment, so we get an actual night off to go out for beer and tapas. It's at the time of the Catalunyan separation bid, so all around are posters and graffiti saying things like "Hello new country" and an increased Guárdia Urbana everywhere.
