We learned this trick a long time ago when we went to New York City that everyone went to the World Trade Center and stood in line for ages and paid the high price to get up to the top to see the view but we had read that you could go to the other tower and go up and get 2 drinks for the same price and not have to wait in line and that is exactly what we did. It was so much better and we got something for our money, just the same as in Barcelona. :-)Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-15767914006005155492017-01-07T16:20:44.012-05:002017-01-07T16:20:44.012-05:00Totally agree with you Jeff!

Also when we hiked up to the castle that was all through park land and was very pretty. There are actually quite a few parks throughout Barcelona and we found that it looked quite pretty, especially when compared to where we are right now on the coast.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-68409143418487686412017-01-07T16:04:48.514-05:002017-01-07T16:04:48.514-05:00Thank you for taking the time to comment and for f...Thank you for taking the time to comment and for following along with us.

Wonder if it's on a repositioning cruise from the US. <br /><br />Barcelona certainly is a wonderful walking city with so much to see and do. Speaking and understanding Spanish is a plus when immersing yourself in the city; glad you two will be back one more day on this trip.
