I love the Barcelona metro

Really. I do. It is so easy to use that I didn´t even get us lost when we arrived in town and were heading from the airport to our hotel. That was use of the metro under pressure too. Sara´s backpack weighs about 1,000,000 lbs. give or take a few, so she isn´t fond of carrying it around. And she is definitely not a fan of carrying it if we´re lost. Fortuneately, we popped up from the metro stop across the street from our hotel, so it was all good.

As we booked a hotel the morning we left, we weren´t exactly in the city center. So we had to take the metro every time we wanted to do anything. They sell a block of 10 rides, of which we went through four in our five days in Barcelona. The crowning achievement was taking the metro 4 times before noon on the day we left. You might be thinking that´s overkill. And it might be, but you´d be forgetting a key point... that I love the Barcelona metro.
