Barcelona is such a beautiful and fascinating city that you may think we're daft to suggest you leave it for a day trip .

3 free fun things to do in Barcelona
Barcelona is the favorite city of both Blonde and Brunette and one reason is that, although there's no shortage of interesting places with high admission fees, there is also a good selection of free (and legal) things to do.

Using Viator we booked the Barcelona Guided GPS Go-Car … [Read more...]
