Translation of oar in German

I'm looking to move to Spain in the summer and hoping to visit my friend in Barcelona before then so I was hoping to have the basics done by then. I've always wanted to learn another language, but we are not pushed enough in the US.
At 6 am in the morning we got up and walked to the Tamarin cafe, where we were picked up an hour later. By the way the bus driver rode we could tell that our travel agency was more professional.
The view from the top was amazing. One could see the hugh lakes and the surrounding mountains, which were still covered in snow. The landscape was really fantastic and blue skies added to its beauty.
