Barcelona and Montserrat Day Tour – Gaudi, Tapas, and Montserrat in One Day!
Today we tour Barcelona Spain and see the highlights of this amazing city. We go up to Montserrat, we tour 2 major Gaudi sites, Park Guell and the Basílica de la Sagrada Família. We then have some amazing Tapas.
In Montserrat we see the Black Madonna and the Chapel of del Santíssim. The crucifix in this chapel is the work of Josep Maria Subirachs. It is an image of Christ realized in negative, where only the face, the hands and the feet are seen, with a light that illuminates the face to him. He also did the Passion façade on Sagrada Familya we will see later
Don’t miss seeing the Sagrada Familia. It was one of the most spectacular structures we have seen on our 9 month world cruise.
Here’s a Link to the Park with the great overlooks:

Not going to lie, the background confused me for a minute! 😂 another great video
I too was back packing in the eighties and I truly had no impression of Barcelona except it being unsafe. Hopefully I’ll get back there one day.
Barcelona is definitely on my bucket list. Thank you for another informative video!
Hello Mike & Nancy Barcelona is a great city have visited a few times its probably changed since I was there love from Sydney
Loved your video! We have been to Barcelona and loved it too. When we were there the Sagrada was still far from being finished, the interior was all “hard hat” area. Would love to go back, one of our favorite cities in Europe! The food is absolutely wonderful.
Always love your videos! Love the hair Nancy 😊😊😊!
Greetings from Málaga right now, which also – same like Barcelona – has totally changed since the 80ies. Both cities, esp. Málaga, can be considered nearly fancy, chic, right now. Spain has done a lot keeping cities now clean and less dangerous. Police is everywhere, e.g. you get highly fined if you don't remove your dog's poop from the streets.
Montserrat is sooo magical, there are many legends about the founding of the abbey. The stones are interesting . Always buses are going from Barcelona to M. if one wants to do it individually. Thank you for the video ❤
Barcelona and particularly Sagrada Familia blew us away ! Never cottoned on to the adjective ‘gaudy’ before which is so commonplace. Still loving your journey.
Never had Barcelona on our list but I think you have convinced us to start planning a trip
Love Barcelona…will visit again when the sagrada is finished
Thank you for continuing the videos even though you're now home! Great tour of the city and church! Looking forward to the food tour. ❤
Montserrat has SO much history regarding WWII as well! So much to see and learn there.
We loved Barcelona, have been a couple times and want to return. Next time with a visit to Montserrat. Really enjoyed the Gaudi sites and more to see. Keep 'em coming. Thanks,
Love your hair Nancy 😊. Also enjoyed another great video from you.
I’m blown away watching this beauty, thank you for continuing those blogs. Amazing!
Nice hair cut Nancy. Loving your videos, thank you. hugs
I loved Park Guell too! I never pronounced it right though.
I went to Montserrat a few years ago.We had torrential rain,and fog and the drive up was terrifying.Even though we had tickets to see the Black Madonna the queue was closed and we didn't get in.The Gaudi buildings in the city are incredible.
The thing about vlogging is that you get to live the experience again. When we would journal, we would read each other's and would get a kick out of how the other person saw the same experience differently.
Thank you so much we will be there next spring. I love your recommendations.
