Barcelona, Spain - spectacular architecture and cuisine



Barcelona is a spectacular city of extraordinary architecture, cuisine, character and colour.

The final port on our 22 day Mediterranean cruise (2015) visiting 18 port and 6 countries.







Hearty breakfast on board the Zuiderdam - Holland America before heading out for a day full of Barcelona delights and surprises.



For lovers of architecture with historic connections or modern flair - Barcelona has it all







Barcelona is a marketplace for food and beverages with history and character







Food is colourful and appettizing







Steeped in history


Yet young and vibrant




Sunshine is an invitation to wander the streets soaking up the sights and flavours of this exciting city



Churches hidden behind intricate doorways





The cutest motor vehicles


And of course the famous Sangria







Seafood Paella




Local Extra Virgin Olive Oil



Sagrada Familia - under construction for over 100 years and not expected to be completed until 2026 at earliest.







Antoni Gaudi's influence is throughout the city.








Delicious freshly made Churros (Spanish Donuts)






Time for a refreshing Sangria


Spanish Dancing and Dinner




Flavia has captured the mood



A food market that beggars belief
























Our last dinner in Barcelona deserves a Seafood Treat - and what a choice!!
