The beauty of the cathedral actually brought me to tears.
It is absolutely breathtaking and Gaudi’s philosophies behind its creation were incredibly meaningful to learn about, as well.
@@BallingerFamily I’ve been to quite a few cathedrals but this one…just breathtaking. Especially the way the light comes thru the stained glass. I will definitely research his philosophies behind the design and architecture.
same!
Bailey looks so nice in her vintage jacket. She looks like she could be a model.
As an American living in Spain, it’s so cool to see all these things again for the very first time through your eyes. Barcelona is magical and you really captured that. I’m glad this country has a piece of your heart now too!
Omg I think someone proposed around 16:27 that is so sweet!
I saw it too!
That cathedral is absolutely mesmerizing!! I’m so thankful you guys are sharing such a beautiful trip with all of us! I’m living the experience of going to Barcelona through you guys!
I love these series! I frequently rewatch your family camp ones! U guys don't just have random fun, you ALSO learn fun things! I love that you take us along and share it ❤
Wholly Molly 😮that cathedral was breathtakingly beautiful 🌈 the colors and the light were resplendent. I love light and uses of light and WOWZERS sis thru every nail it! Thank you so much for sharing this work of art and craftsmanship, remarkable. Again, I could watch hours of this trip and we've only just watched day 2 😆 I can't imagine the irl experience 🎉 thank you. 💙 😊
Loved the vlog so much!!!🤍 btw: 'En un lugar de La Mancha...' means 'Some place in La Mancha...' which is the first iconic line of the book Don Quijote. The full line goes: 'En un lugar de La Mancha, de cuyo nombre no quiero acordarme...' which translates to 'Some place in La Mancha, the name of which I don't want to remember...'
I truly had no idea how beautiful Barcelona is! Your kids will remember this forever 💕 Definitely on my bucket list but only if Jessica plans it for me. Ha!
wow the cathedral was amazing it was like they had so many ideas in building it and said yes to all, so beautiful. thank you for sharing your trip! love yall and have a wonderful day
Really enjoying this Spain series. Great videos…thanks for sharing.
While you were in the cathedral and I was just admiring all the windows and architecture, a thought came to me.."You think this is cool, just wait until we get to heaven, it's 100 times this awesome." Thank you so much for sharing your trip with us, Barcelona really is magical.
Amidst the coo of of morning doves, the starlings did tweet; while almost everyone, and their pets were asleep. I love early mornings. That chocolate art, and cathedral is incredible. Thanks for sharing.
The alleyways were so cool even on camera - I can only imagine how incredible they are to walk through - I feel like you don’t get that sort of experience in most places in the USA. As a night owl, Barcelona’s late night vibes seem amazing…I also love how architecture can prompt us to stop and just sit in awe. Even just watching your experience, seeing Gaudi’s church made me pause and just sit in awe of God + the creative spirit He has given to His creation.
Great video! Regarding the parrots you spoke about Bailey...
Seven species of parrot can be found in urban Barcelona. The most common, and what was seen in your video, are the little Monk Parakeets (green with greyish neck/chest). They are also known as the Monk Parrot or Quaker Parrot.
In that park you can also see Rose-ringed Parakeets (all green with red beaks. Males have a pink & black neck ring). They are also known as the Ringneck parrot or the Kramer parrot. :)🦜
Thanks for sharing …always enjoy your content ❤
I love these series! Travel vlogs are some of my favorite videos to watch.:)
Wow amazing all the food always look amazing yummy places are amazing thanks so very much Ballinger Family
The buildings are so Beautiful!❤
I love Gauldi architecture when I visited.
As you approached the Sagrada Familia, it brought me back to 2018 when the same view took my breath away for the first time! An unforgettable, awestruck memory of a lifetime! Thanks for letting me relive the memories!
Barcelona looks beautiful all the buildings look so cool and the chocolate factory museum that was so awesome I love that everything was made of chocolate.
I’m am enjoying watching your trip so very much!!! I’d love to go there, but seeing everything through you guys is awesome! Thank you!
I just LOVE the intro and the music!!!🥰🥰🥰
✌🏻❤️😃
Hello everyone, I am so happy that you made it to Spain, safe travels.
My favorite part of my Barcelona tour was the Dalí museum. Coolest museum I’ve been to
Have you been to the Dali museum in St Petersburg, FL? Of course there is no comparison to the one in Spain lol but it's still really amazing!
The green birds are actually monk parakeets, an invasive species from Argentina that have adapted really well in Spain, and neighbors are very tired of them because they are so noisy and loud!
Love Baileys coat!!!
Love the editing, the music at the beginning was great.
I love Spain. Why? Food, culture, arquitecture and… the people!
Beautiful journal ❤❤❤ Talented
Loving these episodes!!! Can’t wait for the next one
Incredible photos, thanks for sharing
The cathedral is beautiful.
I live in Barcelona and used to work next to sagrada familia. Every day when I left the metro I would see people seeing the sagrada familia for the first time, just like Bailey here. I loved it. This city is so great, although it has a lot of not so great things… it’s really cool seeing you here ❤
Wow beautiful and lovely.....thanks for sharing !! Parker should have come on the trip...I bet he would have had the most fun !
Was wondering when this was gonna get posted!!! Love u guys ❤

Omg I just love your travel vlogs!! 😍 I also can’t get over the brilliant idea of a travel journal!! That is truly everything!! ✨🤩✨
The sagrada familia has to be one of the most impressive structures ive ever seen
What a fun trip
can you link all of your backpacks? maybe do an unpacking video when you get home and tell us what you used/didn't use?
Wow, Barcelona is so beautiful those buildings are just magnificent. I'm in love with the country . Ty so much for having these vlogs, it sure is peaceful, especially in the morning .
Ty for explaining why Parker wasn't with you all.
That chocolate museum was fascinating and so cool how they made all that stuff out of chocolate. Wow, amazing place .
When did they explain that? I must've missed it. I hope the younger kids didn't get FOMO from not going too.
Loved this vlog so much. First of all it reminded me of how I travel with my friends and family and also of trips I took to Barcelona (what a great city). But additionally as a mother of a toddler who had a hard day with some tantrums and meltdowns, I cried a bit when I saw the kids’ faces discovering Sageada Familia as it made me impatient to be able to experience this with my kid one day. Can’t wait for the next vlog!
Bailey! When I visited Spain I also enjoyed chocolate churros, Park Guell, and La Sagrada Familia. However, the parrots were my FAVORITE! They are called Quaker Parrots, also known as Monk Parakeets. They are super cool and unique parrots. They are unique in building giant colony nests (which other parrots don’t do) and there is a dispute of whether they should be classified as parrots or parakeets as they have features of both. They can be kept as pets in some areas of the USA, and are actually illegal in others as escaped quakers can survive and thrive here unlike other parrot species. There is a fear they will survive, build their giant nests, and destroy farmland even though it has been largely disproven. There are some wild colonies in the USA from escaped pets (mainly in New Jersey), but seeing them in Spain in WAY cooler. They are very smart and can learn to talk. They are one of the most stubborn pet birds and are known as a “1 person bird” as they typically bond with 1 person and become territorial and/or decide they hate everyone else. In captivity they can also come in a beautiful blue, but the wild green (with some blue on the wings) you saw is most common.
I had a rescued Quaker named Mikko as a pet for years, and he was my absolute best friend. He talked, did tricks, and loved attention. Despite a really tough start in life with other owners, we had an instant bond and I was definitely his person. I visited Spain a few years after he passed away, and seeing his wild counterparts all over was the highlight of my trip! A kind local women near my hostel fed them bird food every morning before she went to work, and let me join her so they would come close to me. It was like seeing my old friend Mikko again. They woman loved that I enjoyed the birds like she did, as she said many locals see them as pests or the same as pigeons as they are so common there. Just like you my camera roll was full of birds pictures, with just a few tourist pictures sprinkled in.
This is incredible to watch! I dream of taking my Littles on a trip like this when they are teens!
What a beautiful vlog! 🥰☀️
Your videos are so comforting for me. Love y’all! ❤
So grateful for your videos. It's been 15 years since I visited some of the same locations in Barcelona you shared in this video & it was great to learn something new all these years later. Excited for the next video in this series! I recall a cafe named El Bosc de Les Fades with a magical fairy forest theme in the wax museum that was very memorable about Barcelona. The food was also above & beyond. I was glad you all shared some of your dining experiences. Your travel journal is also super fun!
I love the cathedral it was so so so good ❤❤❤
I love going on adventures with you ❤🎉😊. Waaw that journal is so cool, I love the illustrations ❤! Europe is pretty awesome ha! I live in Germany and would love to go back to Barcelona again!
Next time you guys visit Barcelona, you should visit the Plaça de Sant Felip Neri square, it’s honestly so beautiful
You guys should try to come to Romania on your next European trip. We have great views, lots of castles and really yummy food for all tastes and diets. Not all of them are popular, but we do have them and they're yummy. La Sagrada Familia, is.... majestic. Glad to see they're restoring and finishing it...? I'm not 100% sure, but I think it's part of UNESCO. As for the chocolate museum... I could almost smell it through the screen LOL.
So excited to see that you enjoyed Spain! Me and my family are going for the first time in a couple weeks and we’re so excited!
I love your travel vlogs so much!! ❤
Pretty sure y'all forgot to take me with you......what I would have given to travel with my parents 💖💖💖
Oh wow they've done so much work to the cathedral since we visited in sept 2022 it's beautiful
I LOVE how Chris in these vlogs is flabbergasted talking about of delicious food is😂😂
You guys should visit Rio de Janeiro, Brazil one day!! Lots of culture and history to see here
The best part of homeschooling to me… The traveling adventures
I was in Barcelona in March so this brings me back
Oh my goodness! That market!
I really enjoyed the premiere! I want to munch some chocolate and see some parrots now!
I of course love the content you all produce ……BUT …. Christopher your editing skills are truly unmatched you have real talent.
Went to Barcelona a few years ago! It’s so fun to see it through your eyes!
I went there for winterbreak and Barcelona was amazing!!! Visited the same places as yoyyyy
Love your family.
Churros!! It’s really bitter
I would absolutely love to go to Europe at some point, especially Spain! It looks like you guys had so much fun!
Omg this is so nostalgic I remember the videos with jojo😂
❤❤❤❤
Hello Ballinger Fam! I am curious was it difficult to not bring Parker with you on this trip seeing as he is older and usually grouped with Bailey and Jacob. I mean no hate just curious.
10:04 Since I speak Spanish, I'm going to translate "En un lugar de La Mancha" to English so that everyone understands it. That literally means" in a place in La Mancha"(La Mancha is a city in Spain)
14:11 ❤🤩
I’m waiting 😁
soon! glad you're here :)
I went to Barcelona in October 2018 during a storm and there was lightning at the Arc de Triomf. I also went to the Sagrada Familia, the Chocolate Museum, an optical illusions museum called Museum of Illusions and Park Güell
Love these travel vlogs! Visit the Netherlands next time. It's worth not to only go to Amsterdam, but other cities or villages as well!
The Spanish hot chocolate you get in any cafe in Spain is so amazing. I want it to be equally available at cafes in the US.
As a European you made me laugh when you showed footage of the inside of the Sagrada Familia accompanied by very american Disney music! It cracked me up, I thought Simba would wander around a Jesus statue at some point 😂 I love the way you let us join on your journey, and be amazed through your eyes by all the wonderful things you see! ❤
I love watching your videos on my iPad and I already follow your UA-cam channel, I've been to La Sagrada Familia to get in it is very expensive tho, and yes you will learn lots don't get me wrong. This will be the third time I've been to Barcelona there are churches etc. One day maybe visit Australia as a suggestion but there are other places in Europe to visit in the future .
I was in Bacelona in October and I went to the park and the church it was beautiful. Few facts my the tour guide I had the lizard is the most popular the to get as a souvenir. Also one the building in the park has turned into a school. Finally the church is supposed to be done being built by 2030.
How long does it take you to do those drawings?? They’re so good! Do you draw them that day while you’re on the trip or when you guys get back home?
I’m still getting used to seeing Christopher WITHOUT a child strapped to his chest, lol Do you feel lighter? What about all the free time you have not getting everyone ready for the day? Enjoy these moments with Bailey and Jacob. I remember when it was just the 4 of you ❤
❤
This reminds me of this place in Orlando called Chocolate kingdom factory you do this big tour and they have chocolate statues just like that. and you get to design your own chocolate bar with candy in it and stuff but this place reminds me of it very much. I wonder if it was inspired by this place
Who loves the theme song
The bird Bailey was interested in are Rose Ringed Parakeet they have large populations across Europe
The birds are “cotorras” don’t know the name in english. Love you enjoyed my city! See you soon! Fins aviat (catalan for hasta pronto)!
25:24 😂😂😂😂❤
Being from England Spain is like home to me & growing up our family did own a holiday home there & even now we all holiday there but on the islands & not the mainland I Love it so much
The green birds are called Budgerigars aka Budgies they are pets in the UK I had one growing up as a birthday gift from my grandparents
He loved to dance to Queen & you can train them to talk & yep I mean words & whistle hahaha
Xoxo
Spaniard here.
"The green birds" are NOT budgies, are "Cotorras", a much bigger and agressive species, ilegally introduced from Argentina.
They are extremely loud, and extremely resilient. So much so, that they´been taking resources from other local birdies, to the point of driving them to potential extinction. As such, they´re usually treated like a PEST, where the local authorities have to destine more and more money to keep them under control.
Cheers!
Spain is beautiful my Irish self wasn't able for the heat. 😂😂😂
I love all your videos can they be a lil longer please
Beautiful I wanna go there my grandpa is from Spain hes basque Spanish and French I never met him he died when my mom was 17 due to cancer he was also in the army and he made fruniture we have a couple of his pieces in our home he was an artist the food looks amazing I want to go to chocolate museum looks fun and I love truffle yummy 😊 I love tours too when I went to italy a couple years ago I loved it my grandma passed away 6 years ago and she is Italian so we went for her she never got to go to italy she was afraid to fly last time she flew it was bad turbulence so she never wanted to fly again.
Not trying to be a negative Nellie, but I feel like there’s so many times that Jacob gets cut off from saying something. Let Jacob speak! lol
Btw, Jacob and Bailey are so so sweet and well-mannered.
