tangerinebunny Posted August 1, 2013 #28 Share Posted August 1, 2013 We're heading to Barcelona in 2014 and your pictures were inspirational. I'll expect noise and a feast for the eyes. thanks for going to the trouble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KirkNC Posted August 1, 2013 #29 Share Posted August 1, 2013 Sounds like you had a great time, Barcelona is a great city. Your experience with the car service is why we just grab a taxi when we arrive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunsetbeachgal Posted August 1, 2013 #30 Share Posted August 1, 2013 We are also just back from a cruise that embarked in Barcelona and we stayed two nights pre cruise. We stayed at Hotel LLeo which is two blocks off Las ramblas and right by Plaza Catalunya. Would highly recommend location and hotel. We used taxis to get around. No problems! Lovely city!

Papalove12 Posted August 1, 2013 #31 Share Posted August 1, 2013 Yokegan have really enjoyed your pictures. We leave on the Epic Sep 25. What did you think if Park Guell and how long were you there? I'm trying to plan our itinerary when we are in port. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yokeagan Posted August 3, 2013 Author #32 Share Posted August 3, 2013 Park Guell is really neat, but very crowded! We didn't stay very long because we had so many other things to do that day. It's definitely all in the details. When we go back, I plan on spending a little more time there to sit back and enjoy it a little more. As far as photography goes, it is a little hard to photograph because there were quite a few people there. The paths leading up the hillside didn't seem as crowded. Anyway, that's my 2 cents worth on the park. Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pastamom2011 Posted August 24, 2013 #33 Share Posted August 24, 2013 Fabulous photos. They really wet my appetite for Barcelona. Thank you so much for going through the time and frustration to share them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Froufie Posted August 27, 2013 #34 Share Posted August 27, 2013 Heading back to Barcelona in November and can't wait - doing the full day Montserrat/Cava tour with Barcelona Day tours - wonder if you remember the name of your guide and would you recommend him or her? Also using suntransfers.com for airport pickup - used them last year as did some other fellow cruisers with good results - 39 EU and they pick you up in the arrivals area and help you with your luggage - well worth it! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deebs2 Posted August 28, 2013 #35 Share Posted August 28, 2013 We were in Barcelona in July. Loved it. We went to park Guell at 8 am and it was empty. We had the whole place to ourselves. We spent about 1.5 hrs there. We flew in from California, so we went our first full day. We were still on California time so it was easy to get there so early.

petsgalore Posted August 29, 2013 #38 Share Posted August 29, 2013 We are getting ready to head to barcelona in a little more than one month. Just found out today that as per the end of october there will be an entrance fee to get into park guell and a limit of how many people are admitted per day. One can purchase tickets on line up to three months ahead. Tickets are 7 euros. So, a little more expense on sightseeing, but a limited number of tourists at one time.

scottbee Posted August 30, 2013 #39 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Can you remember the name of the tapas bar? Out B & B overlooks this marina. :) Marina View, a fine choice - we had the Captains Room. What's really nice is it's a 2 block walk to either the Drasannes Metro Stop, or the port blue bus. I would avoid Tapas right on La Rambla, the places in the gothic quarter are much much better.

satex Posted August 30, 2013 #40 Share Posted August 30, 2013 We will be in Barcelona on Nov for the day. I hear that there is a cable car that will take you up to Montsarret. Does anyone know about this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes-- we are looking forward to it. We are in the Captain's room, too. Did you do the HOHO bus while you were there or did you use the metro mostly?

IrishKathy Posted September 7, 2013 #46 Share Posted September 7, 2013 Does anyone have an idea of what the charge is for a taxi from the Barcelona airport to the city? Specifically, we are going to the Renaissance Barcelona on Pau Claris. Thanks. Kathy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or you can hire car service for about 39 EU and they will meet you at the gate and help you with your luggage.....(e.g. suntransfers.com)...

yokeagan Posted September 28, 2013 Author #50 Share Posted September 28, 2013 Thanks for the kind comments everyone. Sorry I've been a little MIA on the boards recently-- life's been a little busy. I do not remember the name of our guide from Barcelona Day Tours, sorry. Barcelona is a wonderful city! We found it very easy to navigate on foot.
