I've been to Barcelona on vacation, albeit almost 30 years ago!  I enjoyed it immensely for its culture, history and architecture.  As I recall, the food and sangria were rather enjoyable, the beaches weren't bad either.

When on vacation, I prefer to relax and immerse myself in a few areas of interest rather than doing the typical tourist thing of attempting to see everything possible.  Being rushed from one location to the next and feeling exhausted at the end of the day is not my idea of an enjoyable time.

Barcelona and the surrounding countryside provided plenty of opportunities for sights to see and things to do.  I think you'll have a great time.

You've likely already seen most of these suggestions, but on the off chance that you haven't, I don't think you could go wrong with any of them...

I'll also put a plug in for The National Geographic Channel's Genius program.  This seasons focus is on Pablo Picasso.  http://channel.nationalgeographic.com/u/kctSfmKWRb-agVhYxQkvp0sXXTU5q15lkKW4Y0IwuxK6tjQd902ZcFq8aM3cYw/

Among the city’s many cultural attractions in Barcelona is the famous Pablo Picasso Museum, housing a sizeable collection of the Spanish artist’s lifeworks. If you’re an art enthusiast or at all interested in the life and works of Picasso, this museum is central to understanding his career and the extensiveness of his talent. Located on the Carrer de Montcada, the city’s most important stretch of mediaeval architecture, the Pablo Picasso Museum Barcelona building is a site to see in itself.   http://www.bizflats.com/blog/things-to-do-in-barcelona-spain-attractions-activities

I loved Greece when I went, but that was 2008 so a lot has probably changed. I took a train from Athens to Corinth and spotted a gem of a beach as we were crossing the Corinth Canal. I believe it was called Loutraki Beach.

Also, Greek pizza >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Italian pizza.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      By Seltzer · Posted

      100%. And these same people will claim you have an agenda. You can't have it every way. We had the lowest rated defense in the league last year. Statistically the worst ever. By PFF grades (for whatever that's worth- but they are readily accepted, used, and conveyed by most "reputable" sources), the defense was the worst ever. Not only that, PFF rated our receiving corp the worst in football last season. The absolute worst... out of 32 teams. Which is why regardless of the lip service Canales and Morgan paid to the current guys, they knew it would be criminal not to give Bryce more help. People fixating on team stats and not taking these things into context are stupid, plain and simple, and I'm for one thankful they're not running this team (or probably anything for that matter bc they obviously can't discern reality. Again, going back to the eyeball test these Narrative Nancies seem to hate so much, did they not see the windows Bryce was putting balls into? Have the generally not watched much NFL? Please, please show me the film where all these NFL QBs are making throws like this to this point Bryce was "below average" down the stretch compared to them. Bryce made more wow throws in that 3 game stretch of the Bucs, Chiefs, and Eagles than every other QB combined in all the years since since Cam got hurt I genuinely am baffled by people that can watch throws like that and act like it's nothing. I guarantee you Steve Spagnola, Todd Bowles, and and Vic Fangio didn't think it was nothing after watching the little guy torch them with players those teams would be embarrassed to trot out at the skill position players. The national media spent all year making excuses for Mahomes not having elite weapons when he had multiple 1st & 2nd round talents at the skill positions along with future HoFers in Kelce and Hopkins. Bryce wasn't throwing for 300 yards every week with David Moore and Adam Theilen in spite of jaw dropping throws and you want to say the guy played below average. For those people, again, we ain't watching the same sport. And the name calling doesn't change that... The vitriol and projection... it's off the effing charts with these people.

      "Well you see if you remove this terrible game that terrible game this other terrible game and then focus on these games you'll see he's actually one of the better QB's in the league and he's actually as good as Jayden Daniels". My god this place is delusional. I love it.
