We started our adventure in Barcelona, exploring the city sites and enjoying our time together as we adjusted to the time zone difference. We found a couple of favorite food venues along La Rambla and spent evenings strolling down to the waterfront and looking through local markets. We went to the famous Sagrada Familia, where we enjoyed the gardens before going inside (top left photo). One of our favorite places to visit was the Palace of Catalan Music (top right and bottom left photos). The whole venue was inspired by the modernista architecture and art that defines most of the famous sites of Barcelona. The tour guides there made the experience all the better! And of course, in between big adventures, we found plenty of coffee and snacks to make it through the 'siesta' (bottom right photo).

More photos of the Sagrada Familia, along with a photo of Camille and Nancy next to one of the unique mosaic pillars at the Palace of Catalan Music.

When we were exploring La Rambla, we found a fun little Irish pub (far from traditional, but with good vibes!) where we watched a football game and socialized with other tourists. It was a fun experience, even if it was not entirely authentic.
