My intent was to hopefully see the northern lights. In this post I…

We had a slight hiccup on the way out with an…
The second leg of our trip to Spain was a visit to Barcelona. Barcelona is an amazing city. We were thoroughly impressed.

I also really enjoyed the cable car ride from Barceloneta to Montjuïc as it showcased an incredible view of the city. You can find a complete Barcelona…
