Going there in June, we’re visiting Madrid, Sevilla, Costa del Sol, and Barcelona.

You might be interested in a British series that started 3 weeks ago, Spectacular Spain with Alex Polizzi. She goes all through Spain pointing out some must see places in each episode. Here is a link to episode 1, which covers Barcelona. I think you'll like it.

Spectacular Spain

Episode 3 covers Granada, the capital of our province, and the Alhambra, one of the 12 treasures of Spain and a UNESCO world heritage site. The Alhambra started out as a Roman fort, was a spectacular Moorish palace and was used by Ferdinand and Isabella to sanction the voyage of Christopher Columbus.

We love Spain. On cruises we usually try the go at least a week early to Barcelona. Los Ramblas Blvd is a great tourist spot the start from.

Thanks for telling us about the series “Spectacular Spain”.

Thanks to the Madrid episode we will definitely go the “Chocolateria San Gines” for some Churros and Chocolate.
