Trip Report: Barcelona and Andalucia
 
Hello everyone! I recently went on a wonderful trip to Barcelona and parts of Andalucia, visiting Granada, Cordoba, Seville, Cadiz, Gibraltar and Ronda. If you are interested in any of these destinations, do read my photo-journal at https://sujaa.wordpress.com/2012/03/...outh-of-spain/

Great trip report, thanks for posting!

Once again, what a wonderful, concise report!! I really love your panoramic pictures.>:D<

I am bookmarking the Barcelona part of your photo-journal for our trip there next year. Thanks!

@john127 : Thank you :)

@JoyC: I do try to be concise, so I am glad I succeeded! Thank you :) Panos give a nice sense of a place...

I enjoyed reading your report about Barcelona. We were there in October 2010 for 5 days and still did not see everything. You must go back! Casa Battlo is fabulous, one of my favorites. Great photos!

@Kwoo: Thank you, I am glad you enjoyed my report :) I too enjoy reading others' reports and reliving past holidays! And yes, 2 days in Barcelona is nowhere near enough, I have every intention of going back for a longer trip one day.

Thanks Suja, going in two months, loved your report.

Awesome! I loved Spain and your narrative and photos remind me of the promise I made to return.

Suja Mar 11th, 2012 04:03 PM

@ozgirl : Lucky you, enjoy!! And thank you :)

Suja Mar 11th, 2012 05:02 PM

@worldinabag (oh! what a nice id!) : Thank you :) Spain is very seductive, isn't it? I'll go back one day too..

Thanks Suja - it feels like you have walked in my shoes. We did Barcelona, Seville, Granada and Cordoba in December .... and we have definately stood in the same spot many times to record the beauty of Spain. Thanks for sharing - it brings back happy memories!

Thank you, Suja, you certainly are a well organized lady. We spent some time in Barcelona last year and are returning again next month. It's so much easier for you since you live in Europe and can hop on a plane and be there in a couple of hours. Lucky you.

Suja Mar 11th, 2012 09:27 PM

@PRLCH : Ah, we are fellow travellers then :) It was such a fantastic circuit, wasn't it? I am still peering at my pics (all 1600 of them hehehe) and re-living the moments..

Suja Mar 11th, 2012 09:32 PM

@Treesa: True, I sure feel lucky :) In a way its difficult too..I know there is much of Barcelona that I haven't experienced yet, but I am such a greedy guts - there are so many places just an hour's flight away and I want to see them all, so I dont go back to places often. Nine years in Switzerland with at least 3 or 4 trips every year within Europe and I still have SO much of Europe yet to see!! This is an over-abundant continent, riches galore for tourists..

Wow! Very nice pictures. I enjoyed reading your report.

Kwoo Mar 12th, 2012 06:45 AM

Forgot to ask you which city/town you liked the best. I haven't been to Andalucia yet, but hope to go some day. From looking at photos, I know Andalucia is very different from Barcelona.

Suja Mar 12th, 2012 01:51 PM

@alterego : Thank you :)

Suja Mar 12th, 2012 01:56 PM

@Kwoo : Andalucia is indeed very different from Barcelona! Everyone I know who has travelled to Spain always picks Barcelona as their favourite city, but I would choose Seville instead. For me, Seville has that certain something, an old world charm which I find irresistible.

Just want to thank you for the beautiful photos and the comments! You've inspired me for a future trip, hopefully later this year!

Can't wait to review this at leisure -- we leave next week for Barcelona/Madrid/Cordoba/Seville/Ronda/Granada/Marbella. Been researching for so long, but love to read everyone's personal sagas.
