- #barcelona #barcelonaspain #travelvlog After almost 3 years and a global crisis later, I was finally able to take one of my bucket list trips - a Mediterranean Cruise departing from Barcelona, Spain! I planned to arrive in Barcelona early so I didn’t miss my sailing…but what, exactly, was I going to do for three days in Barcelona?! THANKFULLY, it wasn’t that hard to find an answer so without delay, Here’s how I spent 3 FANTASTIC days in Barcelona Spain!

Riding a bike and filming that’s great multi tasking.
Haha, I try to do my best (and not crash 😅), thanks!
Yes all about Barcelona food and all. Going in October.
You got it, Juanita! I’ll work on pulling together some great recommendations for a new video. Stay tuned! 👍🏽
Love your videos, your voice is sweet and calming. Keep them coming, how about Greece?🌸
Awww, thanks Catherine 🥰 I appreciate it! Stay tuned the next few weeks, Greece may be in the way 😉
Made me so happy to see a new video from you! Your vacation looked incredible!
Thank you so much Catherine! It’s been a while but I’m back with a LOT of fun to share 🎉 I hope you are doing well 😊
I love your videos!!!!! So awesome! I'm now in the planning stages for 2024!!! I hope you will not mind all of my questions. LOL . I'm too excited!!!!! 🤩🤩
Thank you so much Barbaralino - I appreciate your enthusiastic support!! 😁🎉 Planning a future trip is sooo exciting and the time flies by!
OH girl!!!!! Your video took me back! 😍😍Y'all did so much, I love it!! I'm so glad you loved it. It truly is such a special and beautiful city. 💕And can I mention how you have got me wanting to go on a cruise now!! 😂Such a great video!
Haha, thank you! Barcelona is soooo beautiful and your tips helped me to get acclimated quickly, thank you!! 🙏🏽 I can’t wait to show you the actual cruise!🚢
I love ya’ll’s videos!! I’m taking a trip to Barcelona in October 2023. Thank you for your tour of the city!!
Thanks so much C - We appreciate you for watching and for leaving us with a smile after reading this comment 😁 How many days will you be in the city??
Fantàstic vídeo for a Fantàstic City ❤❤❤
Thank you! Barcelona truly is a fantastic city 🥰
Great video!! I have been to Barcelona a bunch of times and your video made me want to sign up for a bike tour. One thing about fast food is that I do like to stop in McDonalds in different countries to see what have on their menu. Plus in Spain you can get a beer and and relax in the A/C.
Well hello there, long time no here from I miss your videos, Spain huh, it's so beautiful and I loved yhe bike riding tour and that church, I'm glad you and your family had a wonderful time there, tell the family I said hello, much love ❤❤❤❤
Hi Valerie! Yes, it's been a long while but I'm back and have a LOT to share 😁 Thanks for coming along the journey with me to Barcelona, I appreciate you! I will tell the family hello and I hope you are doing well, too! Are you still planning on going to Vegas??
@@FrolicAndCourage you remember that ues I am I'm going for my birthday in June, I can't wait to see the rest of your trip
Love Barcelona!
Me, too! It was a wonderful city to visit!!
love your videos . did you have to book for the test cooking of paella? where is that? maybe we can go too. :-)
Parallel situation to an extent. Likewise, we've waited almost 3 years as well for our bucket list Barcelona trip. The main reason tho was covid and its aftermath. We finally got around to booking our vacay and will be staying there in early September. Our trip totals two weeks, but 4 of those days are dedicated to staying in Marseille. Can't wait!!!!
Thanks for sharing - it’s good to know we weren’t the only ones who waited for years 😂 I’m soooo excited for you - those two weeks will be worth the wait! Plus four days in Marseille?! Amazing!! 🤩 September will be here soon!!
@@FrolicAndCourage Thanks and JFTR, I love your videos. They are so well done, professional, yet personal.
This means a lot to me, thank you 🥹❤️
Wife and I will be in Barcelona 3-days before our cruise too. I've already arranged private transportation for us from the airport to the InterContinental though.
Question Antionette: our spanish is severly lacking (we just started our Spanish lessons on Babbel) - will we find it difficult navigating and indulging in the local shops/restaurants during our time before our cruise? It seems like you can speak fluent spanish.
I think you’ll be fine - the basic pleasantries go a long way 👍🏽 I’d say about 98% of the people we encountered spoke enough English to understand without issue. The remaining 2% was the taxi driver who took us to the port of Barcelona, but we coordinated it with the hotel staff and they were able to set everything up.
Thanks for the compliment! I really wish I was fluent in Spanish, but growing up in southern Cali gave me a great foundation 🙂 besides, even though Barcelona is in Spain, a lot of people speak both Catalan and Spanish in addition to English…and Google translate has both languages available if you need translation assistance.
Did you book the bike tour when u arrived or before? How did u find the tour, thru hotel?
We booked the bike tour through Viator about a month and a half before we arrived 🚲 I like to secure my fun in advance, lol 😂 Plus it doesn’t hurt there is free cancellation up to 24hrs in advance should something happen (link in description box and here: www.viator.com/Barcelona/d562-ttd/p-3993FTBB?pid=P00050571&mcid=42383&medium=link&campaign=Barcelona) 👍🏽😊
Great video, what time of year did you travel there?
Thanks Novie! We traveled during the summer - late May. The weather was gorgeous 😁 not too hot, not too cold.
Cheers🎉
Thanks Shaynah, cheers to you, too 🥂
Did you guys purchase the ticket separately or the tour guide bought them for you guy for the La sagrada?
Hi Henry! We purchased La Sagrada tickets directly on the website (the guided tour option). Once inside we met our guide for the time slot we selected. Hope this helps!
Yes anything Barcelona we are going in October. When was this trip? I speak Tex-Mex Spanish would I be able to communicate with that? Doing Madrid, Barcelona, Rome, Florence in 20 days do you think that is too much or enough? First time traveling abroad. Nervous but excited.
Hey Juanita- This trip was during the summer. I think you will be fine using Tex mex Spanish - the basic pleasantries go a looong way in any country (hello, good morning, goodbye, please, thank you, etc) I also think 20 days is plenty- that’s about 5 days per city. The first trip is always the most nerve-wracking, but day by day you’ll get more comfortable. The beauty of Europe is that you can have the best time just hanging out and relaxing, whether it’s a stroll down a beautiful street or having a glass of wine (or your beverage of choice) at dinner without being rushed. I pray that you both will second of the experience 🙂
@@FrolicAndCourage thanks for sharing. Appreciate it!
Anytime! Please let me know how your experience is traveling abroad when you return, I’d love to hear all about it if you have the time and are willing (and remember since it’s 9 months away!) 😄
How long was the bike tour?
Hey Sony! The bike tour took about 3.5-4 hrs 😊
♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
Thanks for watching Enrique 😊👍🏽
@@FrolicAndCourage Thank you so much. God willing I will be there on Friday! ♥♥♥♥
Friday is HERE!! Safe travels and have an amazing time!
Hi we are going to Barcelona...is the train station connected to the airport? We want to take the train to our hotel. Would you suggest going on the train with our luggage or is that bad?
Hi DJ 👋🏽 The train is kind of connected to the airport. From the airport you have to take the escalators down to the metro level then cross the street into the metro building to buy tickets and get on the train 🚆 We took our luggage on the metro and had no issues…and we’d do it again 😊 When is your trip??
@@FrolicAndCourage mid June
June is a busy time, but the airport metro is the first stop in the line, so there should be plenty of seats available before everyone else gets on 👍🏽
@@FrolicAndCourage thanks will do :)
What airline did yall use because I seen in Canada tap Portugal I can get round trip under 1k Canadian like 850
Do y'all recommend using tap Portugal as a affordable budget airline to go to Barcelona
Hey Nadim - we flew TAP to Barcelona. I’ve flown with them a few times - they have pretty good deals if you can snag one 😊 the only thing to know is there will likely be a layover in Lisbon, so make sure your layover time is more than 1.5hrs. Most times you have to take a free bus to the plane, so boarding tends to end at least an hour before the departure time.
@@FrolicAndCourage Thanks for the information very helpful
How much for the tour
Hey Elsa! Which tour are you referring to? I linked my tours in the description, but let me know and I’ll find the link 😊👍🏽
How do you plan your trips? Google map?
It's a multi-staged process and a labor of love that always involves Google maps, lol 😂 💕 Here's a video of how I plan my trips from start to finish if you want to check it out: th-cam.com/video/Xpcevf39qKc/w-d-xo.html
Any videos on how to claim tax refund at Barca airport ?
Hey Katrina! I'm working on a vlog that will show our last night(s) in Barcelona and how we got our tax refunded at BCN airport, stay tuned!
