Creator's Key Takeaways

I had a really good time.

It's a beautiful city and I had a good time.

Paella is Spain. Not my favorite dish in the world, but I don't hate it.

I'm glad I did because it's a beautiful city and I had a good time.

Creator's Tips & Advice

If you don't have an excursion, you might have a 20-minute walk from the ship to the city center.
Take the stairs for a beautiful view and photo opportunity.
For the hop-on hop-off bus, go to the first stop at the terminal to get a seat, as the bus fills up quickly.
The bus only runs every hour, so plan accordingly.
