On our last full day in Barcelona, Mr. Selfish and I visited Park Montjuïc and the Castle of Montjuïc. Both are in the southwestern end of Barcelona and provide great views of Barcelona’s harbor.
We climbed the hill up to Park Montjuïc. There were great views along the way, and we tried to find a view with sangria but there was none to be had.

Mr. Selfish hadn’t traveled much around England, so he was happy to do most day trips. However, I had done quite a few day trips, so I wanted to go somewhere I hadn’t been before. I discovered that Brighton was a beach town that was only about an hour train ride from London. Mr. Selfish saw the photos and was skeptical. He’s not much of a beach guy and always claim that beach towns are trashy. I convinced him to go anyway, but unfortunately, this time – he was right.
Oddly, Brighton doesn’t have sand but has pebbles instead. I couldn’t imagine actually lying on the pebbles but people were doing it. They were also pretty drunk so that may have been a contributing factor.
