YouTube Video Description

On a recent trip to Barcelona, I had only one day to explore the city, so I focused my touring on 5 of my favorite things to see and do. This included La Sagrada Familia, La Rambla, Mountjuic, the St. Marti District (Olympic Village and Marina), Casa Mila and Casa Batllo. Since I am in awe of the architect Antoni Gaudi, I included at least two of his structures when visiting. Barcelona is a huge city, so it is a good idea to plan your itinerary in advance, so you don't do any backtracking. For solo travelers, the city is bustling, so you can easily get lost in the crowds. Be wary of pickpockets in crowded places. For senior travelers, just keep in mind that the city if very large, so getting from one place to another can eat up your time. Try to plan your transportation in advance, so you don't do excess walking. @seniorsolotravel Travel Facebook Forum: https://www.facebook.com/groups/443309331791413 Senior Solo Travel Website: https://www.seniorsolotravel.net/ La Sagrada Familia tickets: https://www.barcelona-tickets.com/ Casa Mila Website: https://www.lapedrera.com/es Casa Batllo Website: https://www.casabatllo.es/ Cable Car Montjuic: https://www.telefericdemontjuic.cat/en/ Videos from this trip: Madrid: https://youtu.be/FzVWCSEMmgs Barcelona: https://youtu.be/B1P-ViPVVJM Madeira: https://youtu.be/EfXrlgDNjNQ Toboggan Run Madeira: https://youtu.be/SyoS_H_EiNI St Martin: https://youtu.be/vQOgjioV9pw Viking Sky Ship Overview: https://youtu.be/l7EuwYab5f0 A Viking's Crossing Transatlantic Cruise Overview: https://youtu.be/aR08b92xi0I Viking Deluxe State Room Overview: https://youtu.be/Ms7VOZw3JSU 0:00 Intro 0:21 La Sagrada Familia 2:45 La Rambla 3:43 Mountjuic 4:20 St. Marti District 5:02 Casa Mila 5:53 Casa Batllo 6:25 Outro
