Making the Most of 2 Days in Barcelona Spain

[@mianawan]

We Spaniards , we love coffee and we take coffee in the evenings aswell.Some Spaniards even love taking coffee at night .It is the culture here with the locals. The no cafe culture is in Italy and not here in Barcelona, we take one coffee in the morning, the most classic coffee we have is "Cafe Con Leche" cafe is coffee , con is with and leche is milk so it's coffee with milk.some people have Cortado or we have one more that is Cafe con Hielo

Thanks for the tips!

[@michellebowen4317]

Thank you for this!! We always love your content. But this right here was extremely helpful in planning our pre-cruise stay in Barcelona! 💕

[@JoshRachael]

Our pleasure! Hope you have a blast!

[@tedfisherHSCC]

Outstanding Job! You both are vying for Rick Steves replacement position. My wife and I were in awe of Barcelona’s Architecture and slipped into a Food Coma while watching this. Life is all about experiences in your words. My oldest son has made a point of exposing his wife and 6 children to the world similar to your adventures. You are investing in memories that will last your life time. Thank you again for this vicarious adventure.👏👏👏

[@JoshRachael]

Thanks so much Ted! We have honestly been so happy that we started this channel to help remember our experiences even more - we get to relive it each time we watch and put them together.

[@marubridger9715]

It’s unbelievable, you’re done exactly what we are planning to do.- We traveling March 19 to Barcelona.- Then a Cruise!!!

[@JoshRachael]

Awesome - Hope you have a blast!!!

[@melissaleiner2995]

We are doing this starting Memorial day and then sounds like the same cruise. What area did you stay in? Any hotel recommendations?

[@strwberykk]

Those empenadas and dumplings are enough to make me wanna go to Spain! 🤤

Excellent video thank you. I am from The Canary Islands, if you have a chance to visit Tenerife, you won't regret it, Madrid is also a lovely city. Málaga, Granada, Sevilla, Valencia, Alicante and a long etc. All of those places in Spain are a food lovers delight.

[@JoshRachael]

Awesome Thanks so much for the tips!

[@alexissanchez852]

@@JoshRachael And forgive me, I forgot to mention the best place in the world to eat, San Sebastian in the Basque Country, North of Spain. Happy Holidays

[@andreatuckman1084]

We’ve been to Barcelona twice because once wasn’t enough. There’s much more to see and do. I think every restaurant there is wonderful. Looking forward to seeing your cruise.

[@JoshRachael]

Thanks so much - the food was great and plentiful!!!

[@gildizon6458]

Booked a Barcelona cruise for next year. Your 2 days there already gave us a ton of ideas. Been watchin your vlogs all this time, realized I haven’t subscribed, I am now. Great vlog👍 See ya around Vegas😎

[@JoshRachael]

Great to hear! And thanks so so much! We really enjoyed Barcelona & our cruise!

[@Sandy-nj5gz]

What an amazing video!!! I was there in 1988 no cell phones or internet. Loved the food and a jug of sangria was only 4.00. We went to the beach wear it was topless so big or small we beared it all… Our apartment with three bedrooms was only 24.00 per night… I loved our trip but now with internet you can enhance your trip!!! Thank you you took me back and I want to go again

[@JoshRachael]

Wow - to have those prices! But we are with you, we would definitely go back! Thanks so much for watching!

[@bryantsouslin8856]

Great, great vid... including graphics of the food !

[@JoshRachael]

Thanks! 😃

[@lisarank6853]

Looks like an amazing place to see. The architecture is so beautiful! Where do you two put all of that food you eat?! 😊

[@JoshRachael]

Thanks so much Lisa! We definitely have to work on the weight thing when we are not traveling

[@brianmoody2549]

All the places in the city 🏙️ the places you visited are beautiful ,was it spring our winter.the , the food looked amazing.

[@wastenotwantnot6754]

Congratulations, you two! I saw a post that you were married. I have some catching up to do. Last I saw of you, you were in Venice. Barcelona is a fantastic city. I haven't been in years. I like your style. You did it right! We recently returned from a 10 day Holland America cruise to the Mexican Riviera and Sea of Cortez, compliments of the Wynn. In May, we'll be sailing on the new Sun Princess, 7 days Barcelona to Rome, compliments of Green Valley Ranch. Then, in the early November of next year, We're sailing for 14 days on HAL again, Greece, Adriatic and Italy. (A casino offer directly from the cruise line). So we have lots of travel in our near future. Very much looking forward to the rest of your vlogs.

[@JoshRachael]

Wow that is doing it right! Love the Vegas and Cruise alternating trips like us!

[@Traceyleefitreformer]

Thanks for this video, has been a great insight to Barcelona, we have 3 days in August after our cruise. Now have great to do and see list 👏🏼

[@JoshRachael]

Glad it was helpful!

[@SeeShaunVlog]

I think I need one of those statues. All the food and drink looked fab. Makes me want to go back!

[@JoshRachael]

Haha who doesn’t need a statue of a famous person popping a squat

[@LiveLoveLaugh22]

Thank you!!! I’ll be there next month 😊

[@JoshRachael]

Enjoy!!

[@YouUsAndAI]

OMGG - guess who's looking at trips to Barcelona just for kicks for my next trip! I LOVE those meat cones!! Insane church - wow!! Thank you for a GREAT video!!

Anytime!!@@JoshRachael

[@glavegas0010]

Finally got around to watching this video. Out of order of course. 🙂 We loved Barcelona. Such a beautiful place. The architecture is stunning. We are taking RCI’s Odyssey OTS from Civitavecchia (Rome) in November for a 14 night transatlantic back to Bayonne, NJ and Barcelona is one of our stops. Going to catch up on your Livorno video this morning. Loved the Cinque Terre video but no way on the anchovies. Two thumbs up.👍👍

[@JoshRachael]

Haha the anchovies were great 😋 thanks so much hope you have an awesome cruise. Ours got totally out of order due to “agitated seas” hopefully you get all your ports as scheduled. The ones that got flipped were tender ones if you want to put it in the back of your mind

[@Runningafter40]

Great city, great food, great company ❤

[@JoshRachael]

The best!

[@lisapires5122]

Thank you! I especially appreciated you sharing the ascent and descent from the tower at Sagrada Familia- gives a good reference to determine if it is doable or not for those of us with claustrophobia or mobility issues. I assume you visited the Passion Tower?

[@JoshRachael]

Glad it was helpful!

[@mianawan]

Next time, instead of cafe 365 , go for El Fornet or if your in plaza Catalunya, go to cafe Zurich is way better. 365 cafe is like what starbucks is fir USA. ( on the go and not of much standard) 😊

[@antifax8434]

Fantàstic vídeo for a Fantàstic City ❤❤❤❤

[@JoshRachael]

Thank you! 😊

[@julieanncheshire9960]

The sauce on patatas bravas is just called salsa brava...you can buy it in a jar in any grocery store in Spain. There is nothing wrong with taking the Metro or even occasional taxis in Barcelona. You can easily get in 25,000-30,000 daily steps while taking advantage of transportation if you actually want to SEE the city and not just visit 2 or 3 neighborhoods.

[@JoshRachael]

👍🏼

[@anthonylagano]

Greetings peeps ! Wow 21 hours to get there …did you fly on a cargo plane lol . Barcelona is one of my fav cities. The last time I was there my friend and I had 8 bags of luggage so we had to take 2 taxis from the airport to fit it all . We don’t travel light …but it was a 30 day trip across Europe. The food looked amazing. We did a similar tour to La Sagrada . Great video as always 😎😎😎

[@JoshRachael]

Wow 8 bags??? I thought we traveled heavy. 30 days sounds fun but daunting.

[@anthonylagano]

@@JoshRachaelIt was a tad daunting …we hit Barcelona ..Prague …Budapest…Dubrovnik…Vienna …Berlin…Bratislava and Bucharest …so 8 countries with lots of cities beginning with a B lol.

[@JoshRachael]

that is awesome@@anthonylagano

[@rosariakrueger9108]

Loved it! What hotel did you stay at?

[@JoshRachael]

Barcelona Hotel Colonial, booked on booking.com.

[@user-nd2px2eg4e]

This is great, thank you! I am looking for a great place to stay, for 3 nights, as a solo female traveller. Any recc's are much appreciated :)

[@JoshRachael]

Awesome hope you have a great time. We have only need to Barcelona once and this was it. We stayed at Barcelona Hotel Colonial and enjoyed our stay, felt safe and felt it was at a good location to walk to most places. The bed wasn’t as good as home but they rarely are 😂

[@kylemerritt1545]

Thanks again for all your hard work guys ! How did you guys decide where to eat ? On the go or google ? Love ya guys ! Be safe !!

[@JoshRachael]

Thanks so much Kyle, for international trips we lean on trip advisor a lot to find good spots

[@apheenaroebuck-webb3385]

Hi Guys, I started watching you guys recently, saw your Rome blog and was inspired. A question for you: How was your experience with Get Your Guide? We are looking at using them for our Rome and Paris trip in April/May, Thanks

[@JoshRachael]

Wow thanks so much, so glad you found us! We have been very happy with Get Your Guide each time we used them in Rome, Barcelona and Venice! Very easy to use, English speaking, and zero issues

[@AnnaPratt-yo5oo]

Barcelona, CATALONIA, Spain. For a simple matter of sensitivity...

[@JoshRachael]

👍🏼

[@tespinal8]

Great vid. Where would you recommend to stay for a first time visit to Barcelona with family ?

[@JoshRachael]

We really enjoyed the Hotel Barcelona Colonial. We liked the area, lots of stuff within walking distance & seemed safe! It was our first time in Barcelona and we don’t travel with children!

[@jamesmartinez1401]

Family is going to Barcelona on a RC Med cruise. Can I ask which Hotel you stayed at while there?

[@JoshRachael]

Of course, we stayed at Barcelona Hotel Colonial - It was a great spot for walking to many of the attractions!

[@roadshoulderphotography683]

what time of year did you go because I see people in Jackets, Sweaters and coats but also in shorts and t-shirts ????

[@JoshRachael]

this was the third week in October!

[@mianawan]

Listen , end of La Ramblas is not Catalunya rather near the monument of Columbus. The main La Rambla starts from Catalunya. There is not one Rambla, every neighbourhood has it's own Ramblas

[@fbastidac]

Paella not at night. It's heavy ..

[@JoshRachael]

When you only have so much time to spend we do what we can when we can

[@twylaeivens332]

Looked up Barcelonia Hotel Colonial- did you say $130/night or total?

[@JoshRachael]

Total of $410 euro for two nights.

[@AlwaysBeVacationing]

Barcelona is one of our favorite cities in the world! How would you rate it? Top 5?

[@JoshRachael]

We definitely had a great time. I don't think we could put it in the Top 5 for us though. We have never ranked cities we have gone to so hard to say the top 5 but know we actually would rank Athens, Venice and Rome over Barcelona from our big city travels last year

[@AlwaysBeVacationing]

@@JoshRachael We can't wait to get back to Rome -- and Barcelona. :) Thank you for always creating content worth watching. We enjoy you two and you have inspired me to try a few dishes I may not have in the past.

That is awesome! Thanks so much!

[@hhuynh5273]

Do you book reservation for the restaurant?

[@JoshRachael]

We made our reservation online!

did you have a city map to help you get around?

We did but mostly just used our cell phone map if we needed to

[@Boogie-boogie1021]

Which payment mode mostly accept to buy food in Barcelona? And is it safe to use credit card no scam i meant extra charges hehehe

[@JoshRachael]

We have credit cards that do not have international fees and used them pretty freely without issue

[@Boogie-boogie1021]

@@JoshRachael thank you do u prefer to use cards to use even little amount to pay? And what about for tips?

[@JoshRachael]

@@Boogie-boogie1021 tipping culture is not the same in Spain as in America. While you still can it is not expected like in the US. We did carry cash for quick items from time to time if not using cards
