Barcelona Travel Guide

Hello Barcelona! This trip was five (5) years in the making as we initially had EVERYTHING booked for an April 2020 adventure. Like many people, the Covid-19 global pandemia forced us to cancel our trip. We decided to make 2024 our year in honor of our tenth (10th) wedding anniversary! The delay was worth it as we had a memorable trip and memories to last a lifetime!
