9 August 2010. I arrived in Barcelona Nord Station after 8 hours of road trip by taking a night bus (ALSA) from Madrid. It was still early in the morning that I decided to stroll around Arc de Triomf located not that far from the bus station. This triumphal arch is bit different from the well-known one in Paris. The design was affected by Moorish architecture. The reddish brickworks dominate this arch. As you enter the gate, you will find a long and wide pavement with a lot of park benches along its right and left side. This morning, I saw people here doing some activities like biking and running while some of them were just walking to breathe the fresh morning air.
