This is a top pick! ... (the main reason we were going to go), and a recreation of all the different types of pueblos that can be found throughout Spain (I'm forgetting the name of this place at the moment). Instead, we decide to visit three nearby museums, find a place for the ...

This is a top pick! ... by walking quickly, gives the two fingers to his eyes and then to my laptop, and say, "Cuidado, eh?". ... "Si...", I acknowledge. "Gracias." ... and I put my laptop in my back pack and head towards home ... and just as I see the door to my apartment ...
Time With Libby

Cool and Cozy in Catalonya
This is a top pick! ... to linger and gawk unobstructed. This house was a fantastic emblem to art, to ease of use, natural light, nature and imaginative playfulness. I adored it. I then made time to stroll the marina and the crowded alleyways, view Barcelona´s gothic ...
A rainy drive down the spanish coast.
This is a top pick! ... After changing we headed out to the SANTS station. Here we said goodbye to our golf as we returned it to Europcar. Our driving through Spain is done (for now). We drove close to 3500 KM between Marseilles and Barcelona, so I guess we took a bit of a ...
Barcelona, Spain Day 1 - Arrival and La Rambla
This is a top pick! ... in a very special way. ... But, I will be honest, I'm also quite excited about the next leg of our journey. Next stop ... Barcelona, Spain ... just a quick 45 minute plane ride away. As soon as we land in Barcelona, its clear that 'we aren't in Kansas ...
Barcelona, Such a beautiful City
This is a top pick! ... So we went onwards back into the subway. We surfaced near to 'La Rambla' area. This is the buzzing center of Barcelona, and apparently pick-pocket central in the evening. The street was filled with touristic eateries and souvenir shops so we headed out ...

The Nightmare of Ryan Air
This is a top pick! Excited to depart Morocco and return to Spain, we learned a lesson in "low cost" airlines. Stay away from them at all costs. Worse than Easy Jet, Ryan Air is notorious for squeezing a dollar out of you for each and every thing. Starting with 40Euros if ...
Barcelona, Spain
This is a top pick! ... that is the symbol of Barcelona, La Temple De La Sagrada Familia. This cathedral was the work of one of Barcelona (and Spain's) most famous architect, Antoni Gaudi. The temple is breathtakingly large and hasn't been completed, even though it's been under ...

This is a top pick! ... early creativity. Then there are sites by his contemporary Modernists like Domenech Montaner (the first Modernist architect), Cadalfalch, Sagnier and Bassegoda (amongt others) - some of which from pictures I've seen look stunning indeed. So, in all an ...
Barcelona
This is a top pick! ... group of tourists was carrying shopping bags, it is safe to say this is largely a shopping vacation destination. The next day, and our last day in Spain (for now) we headed to Montserrat by train and cable car. This is the site of a centuries old ...
La Sagrada Famiiia
This is a top pick! Determined to see La Sagrada Familia, we spent the bulk of the day at the still unfinished church designed and built according to Gaudi's planes. Meanwhile, we are in disbelief that with the massive amount of tourists paying $20 bucks a head to enter, ...
