Creator's Key Takeaways

We have an action-packed day planned and we're about to kick it off.

We finally got inside the church. I think the outside is just as if not more impressive than the inside.

The food was delicious. I ate a lot, but I I thoroughly enjoyed it.

We had a wonderful day for sure. For sure. And we had some good food and drink which was really good.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book timed entry for Sagrada Familia in advance and be punctual.
Use Guru Walk for a free walking tour in Barcelona, tipping 10-15 euros per person.
When in the Gothic Quarter, walk to a main street to find easier and cheaper taxis or Ubers.

YouTube Video Description

This is our cruise vlog from the Norwegian Pearl on Day 9 of our 12-day cruise from Southampton to Rome! 🚢 Join us for an unforgettable day exploring the heart of Barcelona! We kick things off with a Guru Walk through the charming Gothic Quarter, then race (literally!) to our timed entry at the awe-inspiring Sagrada Familia. After dodging pickpockets and soaking up the history, we reward ourselves with sangria and paella at a favorite tapas spot under the “giant coat hanger.” Back onboard, it’s poolside relaxing, a surprise dinner at Norwegian’s Lotus Garden (yum!), and an evening of cocktails, live music, and a cheeky magic show. It’s a packed day of sights, bites, and belly laughs—Cruising Canucks style! ▬ Contents of this video ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ 00:00 - Good Morning from Barcelona & Gothic Quarter Arrival 02:40 - Starting Our Guru Walk Tour 04:01 - Sagrada Familia 05:39 - Lunch at Tapa San Miguel: Paella & Sangria 08:54 - Dining at Lotus Garden: Appetizers Galore 12:25 - Live Music in the Atrium & Show at Stardust Theater 13:30 - Final Thoughts on Barcelona & Favorite Moments Hi, we are Jill and Jerry, and we invite you to subscribe to our channel.
