This was my 5th (fifth) time in Barcelona. And my partner his second time. So we didn't explore the city and went straight to what we wanted to see: Park Guëll. My second time with a cruise there. Look out for scam taxi's. If they tell you to have a fixed price... don't do it. We did, but the meter told us that we could have paid halve the price. On the way back we took a Uber. So much better!

Barcelona is a wonderful place to visit. We enjoyed a variety of Spanish foods, museums, public squares, and a day excursion to Montserrat. The Metro system is convenient. We plan to return. ...
Barcelona is a good choice to begin your journey. We arrived a couple of days before the journey to take in the main sights in the city and also stayed a couple of days after the journey to catch the sights we did not get to in the front end.

No reason given, VERY disappointing. Instead I took a walking tour of Gaudi and other architectural highlights with a guide and 2 other travelers and enjoyed every minute. The area we toured was beautiful and ...

Our plan was to visit everything we could squeeze into 3 days prior to the cruise. The city was undergoing renovations and this made it difficult to maneuver many streets. However, our location was excellent for reaching many points of interest and we enjoyed our time there. ...
Sorry to hear news about not wanting too many cruise ships to stop here. No problem taking the shuttle to the airport. Very well organized departure.
