Wow, this was a wonderful peek into sights, tastes, smells I cannot wait to experience. I’m on my way to Barcelona for my first visit to Spain. I’m printing this out and tucking it into my luggage. I’m also forwarding it along to other family members who’ll also be going on the trip.

Driving in Europe was harrowing the first time I did it, but I’ve since learned to embrace the speeding, reckless flow–I figure it’s safe to go with it than stand in its way.

I totally love Barcelona, although my last visit there 3 years ago was with some food philistines who didn’t even fancy a trip to la boqueria! Sacrilege! I am bookmarking this post for my next visit, some of this food looks stunning and even better that it was on a budget!
