Barcelona by Foot, by Bus, or by Train...What to do...What to do?

"any town is where i'm bound. anyway to get me gone. don't think about me, never let me cross your mind. except when you hear that midnight lonesome whistle whine." – the eagles


Here are some of the different ways we could see the sights in Barcelona:

Barcelona Hop On Hop Off Bus Turistic – “The double-decker Barcelona Bus Turistic is the most convenient way to discover Barcelona! Get a bird's eye view of the most interesting and attractive sights of the city including Casa Batllo, Sagrada Familia and Placa de Catalunya. You can hop on and off as many times as you like at any of the 42 stops. The Northern route and the Southern Route are two hours long, while the Forum route is 40 minutes long. The three tour routes are inter-connected so you can hop easily between each of the stops!”

Gourmet Tapas Walking Tour of Barcelona – “Begin your Gourmet Tapas Walking Tour of Barcelona at a restaurant with a wide selection of local, delectable tapas, situated in Barcelona's most emblematic and elegant avenue, overseeing the best modernist architecture of the country has to offer. Here you will enjoy 3 tapas with a glass of wine or beer, while your food and wine guide explains the flavors of the wine, the cuisine and the cultures present in Spain. From here your guide will lead you to Barcelona's most famous street, La Rambla. Continue to the Gothic Quarter, where you will discover architecture, atmosphere, language and gastronomy that are unique in Spain, and some of the gourmet shops which are over 100 years old. Your last stop will be at a Basque Bar in a historic 14th century building, an ideal spot to take a break in your trip along the gothic quarter. Here 3 tasty Tapas and a glass of wine, beer or sidra will be waiting for you.”

Wines of the Montsant by Train – “Capcanes is a village hidden away in the Priorato hills that is the source of many fine wines today and has a long wine growing history. Take a walk around the wild landscape of the Serra de Llaberia winery where you will find olive tree fields, almond trees, masias and some of the oldest vines in Spain. After learning about the area's geology, climate and the harvest, you will visit the winery and enjoy a hosted wine-tasting. The cultivated varieties are cabernet sauvignon, merlot, syrah and garnache. After the winery visit continue to Marca, where you are treated to a lunch of regional cuisine, served with a sample of Priorat wines. Lunch is followed by free time on your own to visit the village at your leisure, before returning by rail to Barcelona.”

Granted all of these cost money and we are trying to be frugal with our spending but they sound so fun we may just have to splurge for at least one of them!
