Are you a city slicker? #1

Over the years, I have been lucky enough to have visited many lovely cities. All have something different to offer and all are special in their own way . Take a look at my top 3 and see if you agree with me... starting with Number One:

Barcelona, to me, is a very vibrant and colourful city that is a good day out from the ship.I love to explore, and this is a great city for doing that. I enjoyed Park Guel but wasnt really impressed with the Sagrada Famila, its just an on going project that gets uglier and uglier. My advise look at it as you are walking past!

The best shopping areas in central Barcelona are Passeig de Gracia and the streets to its southwest, the Barri Gotic streets such as Carrer de la Portaferrissa, Carrer de la Boqueria, and Carrer de Ferran, and around Placa de Sant Josep Oriol.

If shopping isnt your thing then take the Bus Turistic for a day - it is around 20 euros per person per day but it is worth it. You can get on and off as many times as you want and visit all the key sites or walk down Les Rambles and cut into the old city (Barri Gòtic).
Stay away from the Tapas bars on the Rambles they cost a small fortune as each item you pick is charged separately
