Nicole721 Posted August 22, 2015 Author #101 Share Posted August 22, 2015 We also browsed through the aisles just kind of checking out what Spanish supermarkets are like and it was so interesting that they had so many fresh items at such reasonable prices (freshly made sangria for €1 a glass, paella for €2, fresh fruit cups for €1, even the cronut craze has made its way to Spain and you could pick one up in the supermarket for €2.75). We picked up some cava to enjoy back at the room, as well as some pastries to have for breakfast the next morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicole721 Posted August 22, 2015 Author #102 Share Posted August 22, 2015 I noticed that some of the honey I bought in Montserrat was leaking in one of my bags, which was kind of a downer, so we grabbed some extra plastic bags at the supermarket and headed out to pick up some last souvvies in Las Ramblas before hopping in a cab for a quick ride back to the hotel.

Nicole721 Posted August 22, 2015 Author #103 Share Posted August 22, 2015 I wanted to take a walk through Montjuic, but Mom and Stephanie were absolutely exhausted, so we compromised on walking around the courtyard. We could even see Las Ramblas from the hotel! The views from Montjuic were really amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicole721 Posted August 22, 2015 Author #104 Share Posted August 22, 2015 And as we were walking along the perimeter of the courtyard, we noticed that our cruise ship was already docked! Mom and Stephanie went back to the room to start re-packing their luggage for embarkation, but I lingered outside for just a little while longer, wishing we had one more day to explore Barcelona. I headed back to the room before the sunset (…at 9:30 pm…) to get some packing done and take a shower. BBC News was the only English television station, so I spent the rest of the evening out on the terrace, staring out at the lights of the harbor. The Barcelona portion of our trip was drawing to a close, but we had two weeks of new places to explore ahead of us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobinAnn Posted August 22, 2015 #113 Share Posted August 22, 2015 You took a photo of the apartment building we will be staying in prior to our October 7 cruise. :) We'll have the fourth floor apartment with the curved window and the two street facing balconies. We'll be in BCN for five nights prior to our cruise. Thanks for the fun review (preview of our trip). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LizSS Posted August 23, 2015 #114 Share Posted August 23, 2015 In a way, La Boqueria kind of reminds me of Pike Place Market in Seattle, which I know you are visiting soon!

irishcropper Posted August 23, 2015 #118 Share Posted August 23, 2015 Love your review. We are on Sept. 25th sailing and will spend 2 1/2 days pre cruise in Barcelona! I got so excited when you said you were on full day tour with Barcelona Day Tours - we will be on same tour and your review made it that much more real! Thank you for taking the time to do this review. Will be "sailing" along with you through the rest of your review. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Haha yep! Getting sent out to Seattle again for work next weekend! Hopefully the rain that's forcasted will stay away -- I want to get back to Pike Place! I was supposed to be out in Seattle this week but my VP is (another hilarious coincidence) on a European cruise and we're on a travel freeze until he gets back, so I go out to Seattle Sunday through Thursday, fly back to O'Hare to catch a plane to Florida for the Labor Day weekend. It's going to be a longggggg week! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
