Finally time to start our adventure. I've more nervous & anxiety ridden than excited this past week. Checked in & got through security with ease. I needed a small pat down & of course Lia had a water bottle bag check.🙄

Saw a few familar faces at TG. Now that we're on the plane excitement is begging!!Leer más

Survived the longest flight of my life. It wasn't to bad. My seatmate was really tall, but very polite.

We're finally in Europe. Here's to a safe landing & the real start of our adventure.

Made it to our Air BnB, our home for the week

The place is old, but very well maintained & clean. Our host PePe was very helpful & friendly.

We're staying in a nice neighborhood with alit of caffes and bars. Also a nice looking park across the street. We walked around for a bit and eat our 1st Spanish meal. The shrimp was tasty, but the rest was off. Food to oily and salty for meLeer más

Food Tour
4 de marzo de 2020, España ⋅ ⛅ 57 °F
We decided to follow a walking food tour in the La Born neighborhood we found on You Tube.

We only managed to make to 5 place s on the list before feeling stuffed and needing a siesta.🥱
1. Granja Dulcenia: Epic pure melted chocolate topped with fresh whipped cream plus tasty pastries. A chocolate bomb basically 👍🏽
2. Mercado Santa Caterina; Joan Bar: Missed breakfast, so we had Spanish omlettes w/ roasted peppers & pork sausages & Cava of course. Martin & Lia really liked it. It wasn't hot enough for me. Good flavoring tho 👌🏾
3. Historic Casa Gispert: Got some chocolate covered macadamia nuts 😁
4. Hofman Pastisseira: This was my favorite today. A strong Americano with the insane mascorpone crossiant. It was light, flakey & the cream wasn't to sweet. This place was also beautiful inside. Their cakes & pastries looked like works of art.👍🏽👌🏾😁

5. Bodega La Palma: Here for the Patatas Bravas & vermouth. Drink tasted like mulled wine the pats were hot & fresh. Sauce was on the thick side.Leer más

Our First Night Out
4 de marzo de 2020, España ⋅ ⛅ 55 °F
Found a really cool bar about 5 minute walk from our apartment. Rock n Roll, Good food & drinks.

Loved this place. The drinks were strong & a nice serving size. I rarely go to bars, but this place was a lot of fun. They had classic rock music blasting while playing the videos onscreen by the bar. Service was fast & friendly. Bartender made very good drinks. Waitress was also helpful with our food order.

Food was very good. My friends burgers were juicy & flavorful. The spicy sauce w/ the potatoes was good. I got the smaller portion of the nachos. Serving size was huge. Had enough for lunch the next day They were extra cheesy how I like itLeer más

Bay Cruise Part II/ Sightseeing
6 de marzo de 2020, España ⋅ ⛅ 61 °F
The boat tour was nice, but pretty windy & cold at the end. Someone on the boat was supposed to talk us thru the sights, but nothing was said. That was disappointing. Finally got to try a carajillo(Spanish hit coffee with hard liquor) it was good, but the lady put way to much Brandy Lol🥴😵Glad I tried tho.

The views if the port & the Mediterranean Sea, were beautiful. We aso stopped at a small cute little flea market by the boat dock, to browse & shop.Leer más

This is on top of a 4 story mall down the street from our apartment. It use to be the old bull fighting stadium. Over 10 years ago they outlawed bullfighting in Barcelona, the turned the stadium into a mall. It's really nice inside and the views from the top are amazing.Leer más

Tour to Montserrat
7 de marzo de 2020, España ⋅ ☀️ 39 °F
Going to tour the Montserrat Mountain, a famous peak about a hour outside of Barcelona with a monastery, basilica and museum. This is considered a sacred place in Spain. Fun fact: Martin's baby sister shares the same name.

We had a excellent tour guide. She was pleasant to listen to, very nice, clear and informative. The the bus ride there was smooth and picturesque. It was beautiful to the other end of Barcelona where the university area and rural parts are.

The photos we took a on the way up and at the top of Montserat were breathtaking. Now I saw why people spend all day here. We purchased the half day morning tour & sadly didn't get to experience everything.

We also were extremely lucky with fantastic weather. Easily the most beautiful sunny, clear day we've had so far.Leer más

Barca Night
7 de marzo de 2020, España ⋅ ☀️ 55 °F
Not only did we get to see our first football match. We got to see the famous Camp Nou stadium & watch FC Barcelona up close. We decided to go at the last minute the night before & got tickets early this morning. So I was surprised we got such amazing seats.

Experiencing the game from this angle was so exciting. You get a better sense of the players speed and power with constant action. The game went by so quickly, we nearly missed the entire 1st half. Because somebody (Martin) took an hour to pick his Barca jersey and then we got lost on the Metro.🙄😬 But at least we saw the great Messi score the game winner!Leer más

While Martin is dead to the world me & Lia decided to hot up a local flea market called Fleadonia. Unfortunately we waited to long and missed it.☹️

So we decided to head to the nearby Picasso Museum instead. Well laid out exhibits about the artist life and close friends.

Got to one of Antoni Gaudi's most famous houses up close. Me and Lia were late of course so we had a little over an hour to spend there. I loved all the different colors and shapes used in the architecture. The park is another great space for a picnic, hike or jogging & biking overlooking BarcelonaLeer más
