- The 8-hour ferry from Ibiza was suprisingly easy-going as we arrived in Barcelona in the early evening. We had to tread water for a few days with regards to sight seeing as we waited for Sam to arrive in a few days. After the week in Ibiza, we retired early on the first night.
- Before Sam arrived Cade and I decided to squeeze in a visit to the Camp Nou football stadium - the home of Spanish football, and home to the legendary FC Barcelona. We could have been excused for thinking it was a game day - queues around the corner for the tour ticket office and the merchandise store, as well as car park chaos. €20 seemed a bit steep so we opted to give the tour a miss.
- After Sam arrived, we ended up with two full days to see what Barcelona had to offer. Having been there before I was at a bit of an advantage as to what was, and what wasn't worth seeing. We teamed up with Evan and Roz and set off tothe Fort Montjuic, along the waterfront to Port Olympic, up to the Sagrada Familia, and finally Parc Guell. We ended the evening with a stroll up La Rambla to take in the atmosphere of Barcelona during it's peak season.
- The next day we had the opportunity to buy some souvineers and do a walking tour of the gothic region before our overnight bus to Nice.
- Somehow we managed to squeeze most of the touristy stuff, although not thoroughly, into the two full days. Hard work under the Spanish summer sun.

Barcelona is the capital and the most populous city of Catalonia and the second largest city in Spain, after Madrid, ...Sant Sebastià and Barceloneta beaches, are the largest, oldest and the most frequented beaches in Barcelona. Costa Brava, Costa Maresme, Costa Blanca and Ibiza are other best destinations in Spain...Its a good jumping off place for a vacation in the Balearic Islands or Costa Brava. Barcelona is a city that comes alive only at night...ferienhaus spanien
