Barcelona

Barcelona harbor from the ferry. I was sad to be leaving.

Tapa Tapa Maremagnum salad sampler. This is the location that overlooks the harbor. There's another one in town.

Barcelona, one of my favorite cities in the world. I didn't make it to Barcelona the first summer I spent in Spain, in 2015. I always regretted that I didn't see more of Spain that summer, and promised myself I would make up for it. I decided to make Barcelona my last stop in Spain, and use the port there as a means to get to Italy. I took a Grimaldi ferry from Barcelona to Citavecchia, and I'll review that experience in a later post. 

I highly recommend the hop-on-hop-off buss in Barcelona. It's rather reasonable, I believe about $26 per day, or 2 days for $40, which is the better option. I spend two nights there, and didn't get to see half of the things on my list, so I will be going back. Most regrettably, la Sagrada Familia was sold out for the day, and I was foolish to wait until my last day to see that world class cathedral. My bad, and another excuse for going back.
