We have decided to take a virtual trip to Barcelona, Spain. Since we are on a budget, my classmate Jackie Davis and I will travel to Barcelona together. We will leave Tallahassee, FL on March 1, 2017, with stops in Atlanta and New York and arrive in Barcelona, Spain the next morning of March 2nd. It will be spring when we arrive in Spain; therefore, the temperature will be around 60/70 degrees. We have packed light sweaters/jackets, jeans, long & short sleeve shirts and comfortable walking shoes. We have arranged for round-trip transportation to/from the airport. The time change in Spain is Central European Time (CET). The time difference from Tallahassee, FL to Barcelona, Spain will be six hours ahead.

The construction of the Basilica began in1882, by the city’s famous son Antoni Gaudí. Because of its massive size and intricate design the church has become so important; it is called “The Cathedral”. I can’t wait to climb to the top of one of the Basilica 's eight towers and overlook the city. The Basilica is expected to be completed in 2026-2028. We’ll enjoy a guided tour of the city, to include Poble Espanyol, a Spanish village, which also served as a sport facility during the 1992 Olympic Games, Olympic Port, the beach and fisherman’s quarter, called Barceloneta, the Port Vell, and Plaza de Colon. Drive up Montjuïc Mountains and take a cable car ride with an aerial view of Barcelona. Head back to Barcelona and walk the famous Ramblas Boulevard of Barcelona, a pedestrian mall full of shops and restaurants. Take a train ride to Montserrat Mountains, tour a Spanish Village and taste liquors of Monterrat. Another stop on our tour is the Gothic Quarter, the heart of the old city of Barcelona. There is a mixture of historic buildings and modern bars. And an evening walks on the beach with beautiful views of the Mediterranean Sea.
