How to Spend 3 Days in Barcelona After a Cruise
Our Mediterranean cruise on the Disney Magic was just the beginning. We planned extra days in Barcelona before heading to Paris, and this city absolutely delivered — from one of the most stunning churches we have ever stood inside, to one of the greatest markets we have ever visited, to paella and sangria that set the bar for everything that came after. Here is everything we did, everything we ate, and what we learned along the way. 📌 WHAT WE COVERED: ▶️ Sagrada Família — skip the line with a guided tour ▶️ La Boqueria Market — and why you must go on the right day ▶️ Las Ramblas & the Gothic Quarter ▶️ Gelarto Rosa — the most beautiful gelato in Barcelona ▶️ Arrosseria Gaudí — paella, gazpacho & sangria ▶️ Park Güell — Gaudí's open-air masterpiece ▶️ What We Learned and Wish We Knew ⚠️ IMPORTANT: La Boqueria Market is CLOSED on Sundays.
