Welcome to Day 1 of our Barcelona adventure! After disembarking from Explorer of the Seas at the end of our transatlantic cruise from Miami, we began exploring this stunning city—and what a first day it was! In this video, we share our first impressions of Barcelona, from a relaxing stroll through Ciutadella Park (yes, we saw a life-sized elephant statue!) to the breathtaking Arc de Triomf. We also take you with us on a self-guided Rick Steves walking tour through the Gothic Quarter, Placa de Catalunya, La Rambla, the historic Barcelona Cathedral, Jewish Quarter, and so much more. 🍫 We found delicious pastries, explored local shops, admired centuries-old architecture, and even uncovered a hidden synagogue. 💡 If you're planning a trip to Barcelona or just love travel vlogs, this video is full of great info, beautiful sites, and helpful tips (like why you should download Google Maps before you go)! 📍 Key stops in this video: Ciutadella Park Arc de Triomf La Rambla Placa de Catalunya Four Cats Restaurant (Picasso hangout!) Barcelona Cathedral Bishop’s Bridge (and its spooky curse!) King’s Square Jewish Quarter 🛏️ Airbnb Tour: Don’t miss our separate video linked below with a full tour of the apartment we stayed in, just steps from all the action. https://youtu.be/ArZn84nPyeo 📌 Make sure to subscribe and hit the bell so you don’t miss Day 2—where we go even deeper into the city and cover more ground (on the bus this time)!
