my sincere compliments... I am in Barcelona (for 30 years) several times a year, personally or as a tourist guide, and I know very well how to recognize the quality of such videos... you managed to present, in 30 minutes, to someone who is just thinking of visiting Barcelona for the first time, several important dimensions, and all without self-promotion, with accuracy and fun… (and excellent camera 😍)… posts like yours are a real rarity...
Headed to BCN for two weeks in December! Love that city! This will be my 3rd time. Your video was well made and has a great vibe. Just followed you on IG and subscribed. 😎
Gracias for this beautiful video 🇪🇸 I have just been to Barcelona and have found myself missing the sunshine, beauty & perusal of the streets. I watched this video to get an insight of the things we didn’t have time to see and you captured the city beautifully.🫶🏻
Liz and Dennis, thank you for sharing, I am trying to tell you both that I love all your travels in the RV in the USA and Mexico! However, in my 70's, I cannot run through all the new technology to tell you both how I appreciate your travels!
I love, love Barthelona. As a flight attendant with Lufthansa in the 70-80's my favorite overnite stop was Barcelona. We would hire cabs and drive to Sitges. A beautiful fishing town south and leave there slightly tipsy. The sites and all of Barcelona were just magical. Do you know why the Spaniard of Barcelona speak different than the rest of Spain? Their King had a lisp, and in order not to anger him, the town folk also spoke in a lisp. Bartholoma. LOL. Love your videos.
Que se lia esa joven con el Eixample y el tren? 😮 Las esquinas,chaflanes, eran para ver llegar a los carruajes de caballos de izquierda y derechas . Mas visión panorámica.Y el manejo del látigo .😂
Fantastic job. As a frequent visitor to Barcelona, I learned A LOT by your thoroughly researched and detailed guide. Also you caught me up in your sincere enthusiasm. Way to go! Will be using lots of your tips to get more out of the next visit.
That is AMAZING to hear, seriously comments like this mean so much for how much work and effort goes into our videos. Thank you for watching and enjoy your next trip to Barcelona :)
We visited Barcelona in early November 23. Wish we had seen this great video. Your photography is fabulous. I like your choice of clothes. Too many tourists were dressed either in hiking shorts or skimpy Jersey shore styles, Your clothing was respectful and pretty. Especially appreciated the section on Sagrda Familia. You share great information. Thanks
Liz and Dennis, I love following you two throughout your adventures! Liz, you are so informative on your trips, and Dennis, you are the threads to keep you two safe in all your travels!
And the eye that's makes our videos magic haha 😆 I've filmed before and let's just say these videos wouldn't exist without him. So glad you enjoy the David and find them informative
OMG Dennis and Liz, I finally got a new credit card on line to support your travlels and sharing your adventures with me! Still love to follow you both all these years!
I really enjoyed this video for so many reasons: smart, funny, casual, very informative. You seem like my kind of traveler. I look forward to seeing more of your videos! Gracias 🥂
I love both of your energy. There are so many videos out there but you both have that special something. I just came back this week from barcelona and this made my eyes water., I want to be there now.
This is such a great video! I hope I’ll get to visit Barcelona sometime next year! I really want to see the Picasso museum. I’m moving to Madrid in a few weeks though so fingers crossed 😆
I've thought this before but need to say. Elizabeth you need to be the next Samantha Brown. Your videos are so well done with such passion. I go to them for recommendations all the time for cities visiting. PBS or Travel & Leisure needs to snatch you up!
Great Video!! We just got back yesterday for 3rd time, and we also used get your guide for a tapas and cocktail tour, so fun and their prices were better than other companies
Thank you so much for sharing this great video about traveling to Barcelona! I so love the BGM of the video I seem to feel the warmth of Barcelona ❤🔥 These practical tips will undoubtedly help first time travelers planning a trip to this beautiful city to better prepare their itinerary. I'm also very excited to see what kind of different Europe I'll encounter while traveling by AVE! My friend taught me how I can get cheap train tickets, so this trip will no longer be by plane but by rail ~ wait for me! Barcelona!
Thank you for your beautiful videography and hard work editing. We visited Barcelona over the Christmas holidays in 2021 and loved revisiting through your eyes.
I know y’all put so much into this video and boy does it show!! Spot on Videography and such great info!! All the Gaudi stuff….I never knew I wanted to visit Barcelona until now!
Nice video for future visitors! I've been living in and around Barcelona since 1984, so I'm verrry familiar with all the sights you chose to focus on (there are many more, of course). Tiny detail though - although it's technically correct that Barcelona is on the coast of the Balearic Sea, the expression is used mainly by meteorologists and oceanographers to set it apart from other areas of the Mediterranean Basin (like the Alboran Sea farther to the south, or the Ligurian and Tyrrheanian Seas off the western coast of Italy). The Balearic Sea (named that way because of the Balearic Islands, situated several hundred miles off Spain's eastern coast) is indeed part of the MEDITERRANEAN Sea and you'll find very few people describing Barcelona as being "a city on the Balearic Sea". Not that you're wrong, though... I prefaced this by saying that you're technically correct.
Thank you! So much great information! We are going in 3 months Barcelona, Madrid, then Porto! Can't wait, this was very helpful! Where did you get that cute backpack?
Thanks for this great tour of Barcelona! We're getting ready for a trip later this year and really enjoyed all the info. Also, where is your pink dress from? I love it!
El mar balear no, es el mar mediterráneo... Tendrías que informarte más , sobre Gaudí , Sagrada Familia, y en general de la ciudad, de todas formas a pesar de las inexactitudes no está mal tú vídeo ❤
Depends on your budget and where you want to stay. I honestly use TripAdvisor hotel reviews whenever we book a trip! You can see some of the top ones here. tripadvisor.tp.st/RPw38Jpo
Im going on my first solo trip to Barcelona Tomorrow and I'm super nervous and staying in a hostel. I heard hostels are safe but I'm so anxious and would appreciate advice
I've stayed in many hotels in the past and while some are better than others I always enjoyed getting to meet others. Solo travel can be intimidating but it's worth it! Push through discomfort and be open to meeting others. Hostels are great for that!
Gaudi murio atropellado por un tranvía,en Barcelona,en 1926,mientras se dirigia a la Sagrada Familia.Los arquitectos que siguieron su trabajo han tenido que enfrentar,durante 97 años hasta hoy día,el descifrar y completar los planos de su obra cumbre,la Sagrada Familia.¿Como interpretar cientos de piedras independientes entre si,cada una distinta de las demas,pero que encajan a la perfección?Es una tarea enorme,y es la ultima gran catedral de Europa que tarda mas de un siglo en construirse.Ahora inicia la recta final,y se completará sobre 2027,pero ha sido un esfuerzo de decadas hacer honor a un genio de la arquitectura.El interior de la Sagrada Familia es precioso y fascinante.
Creo que fue el Papa Juan Pablo II quien dejó por escrito que una vez acabada y bendecida por el Papa que le toque en esa época seria nombrada como Catedral ,siendo Barcelona la única ciudad del mundo con dos Catedrales. Ojito que puedo estar equivocado.
Just spent two weeks in Spain and went from Barcelona to Sevilla. #1 complain of mine is the Spanish attitude, shortness, and some nastiness. I had always heard about French attidude towards tourists, but I have to say Spaniards, for now, hold the #1 position. It got so bad I wanted to leave at the end of week one. We didn't and kept going, but it took its toll on our overall mood about this trip. (It was bad enough, I will put this opinion on any Spanish travel blog/video I see!)
Wow sorry to hear that happened to you. I've traveled here 5 times and lived here for over 4 months at one period. Every time people are warm kind and welcoming everywhere we've gone. Honestly over the top welcoming. Doesn't mean you don't mean a grump or two and doesn't mean your experience didn't happen. I just don't think every visitor should expect that.
El almuerzo is not a second breakfast (I don't know who the hell told you that). 'Desayuno' is the first meal of the day, although the word is sometimes used for the second mid-morning meal (like for example you have a coffee and toast at 7 a.m. and then around 10 or 11 a.m., you have a small sandwich before lunch because you are hungry, that is also a desayuno). 'Almuerzo’ is a voice that refers to meals of different kinds and taken at different times in different areas of the Spanish language, but it's usually used as a synonym for lunch.
Not in the region where I stay. I said this in front of my Spanish family and they all agreed with the statement. I have heard from friends who live in southern Spain, also native Spaniards that they do not use Almuerzo in that way. So I really think it depends on where you are!
@@Ilar-en7lg Hello a catalan person here. Here in Barcelona “Desayuno” (We call it esmorzar in catalan ) is the first meal (it depends on when you get up, I’ll do mine at 5 o’clock), “almuerzo” (in catalan we don’t make differences and call it esmorzar, usually at 9-12 h aprox., in my case I use to eat a sandwich with a latte) is a light meal between “el desayuno” and “la comida” (in catalan we call la comida “el dinar” and it’s at 13-15 h aprox.) but it will depend on the spanish region and you can find differences among the cities or towns you visit.
Hello, I was interested in choosing your precise tour but the link takes me to a site with a large group of options. Is there a name or link I could use to find the tour of which you were so enamored? Thanks!
@@EatSeeRV Ah, I don't know, maybe some more touristy or modern places don't have them, but the more traditional or traditional places do, as it's very common in Spain.
Just starting the video there is already a serious error. Flamenco music has nothing to do with Barcelona, it is from the South of Spain. Putting flamenco in a video about Barcelona is like putting Scottish bagpipes in a video about London or country music in a video about New York.
Haha I get it. You're not the first to say this. While we do realize flamenco music is from a specific region of Spain, for many it is representative of Spain as a whole. We also have a small selection of royalty free music to choose from here! And using other types of music in videos from different regions is OK. We would and have used country music when we were in the south as well as rap music when we weren't in LA or NYC.
Some little mistakes and maybe a touristic look, but it's a nice video, and you try to add details and facts about the city that other bigger trip- youtubers don't mention.
Sorry Dennis and Liz, but I have had my credit card hacked several times in the past years! I keep getting a new credit card, but the scamers are always on line!
Sorry to hear that! I know overtourism is becoming an issue there. It's still a lovely city, and remember not everyone feels that way. We've seen both sides of the coin (those who don't want tourists and those who don't mind).
Barcelona is creepy iwth getting ready for 15 min city vibes. This is sold to you as "convenience," but soon it will be "Why do you need to leave your zone?" I'm so tired of shaking the sleeping sheep.
Toda la comida en Cataluña es española😂 lo tipico es el pan con tomate, las butifarras con mongetas y los canalones. Hay mucho más pero no se sirve en lugares turísticos. Las tapas ,pinchos y montaditos, son platillos del resto de España, como Andalucia y el Norte de España.
Just came back from Barcelona and do not want to go back for more. Be aware that what you see, usually from vlogers, may not match the reality. Barcelona is crowded, loud, busy, dirty city. Stay away from most attractions and you will find areas that are much nicer, pleasant with green parks. The food quality and prices in all tourist areas are high with so so food. The prices and quality outside of the main fares are much better. The spanish food packs a lot of fat, carbs and cals. No salad to be found anywhere, same with fruit on most of the menus. Not a place I would ever want to come back.
@@helenorgarycrevonis2022 Me,too. I agree with everything you’ve said until I just came across this very calming and beautifully done video. I spent a very stressful week with my daughter looking for an apartment for her study abroad. We tried to still explore the city and enjoy everything it has to offer and make the best of our stay. I must say though after watching this video now I have to give it a second chance, since the next time I visit it won’t be tainted with the experience of trying to find a student apartment in one week because the one she had booked online from home was a total fail in terms of what the advertised. It was so overwhelming in such a big city! At last we found a beautiful accommodation for her and now I will forward this video to her.
For your info Barcelona is the trendiest city in Europa now, I don't agree with your comments.. maybe you forgot to visit all the masterpieces of Gaudí, the Miró snd Picasso museund as well as Macba, get lost in Gracia and Gothic Quarter...etc
Stop using the independent Flag of catalan separatists as if that was the official Catonia's Flag. Most of Catalan People are not separatists and won't feel represented by an invented Flag. Catalonia's Flag is just Red and Yellow Stripes. Remembering Aragon's kingdom. Please be careful with this sort of content and messages to your community. Visca Catalunya.
Todos los restaurantes de España tienen menú del dia. Esto viene del boom turístico de los años 60, cuando, por decreto, el ministro de Información y Turismo, Manuel Fraga, establece en el 64 la obligación de tener un menú del día en todos los restaurantes de España

It is such a charming city! Hope you can return soon

It's a wonderful city! We have visited Sitges and it's just lovely. However the story about the lisp is an urban legend and not true haha

Going to Barcelona in a few days. Loved your video. One quibble: it’s on the southeastern coast, not the northeastern coast of Spain
I see what you're saying there but it's north only an hour or two from France. Definitely not south like Valencia or below.
Loved your video, what time of year were you there? Sorry if I missed this in the voice over.
No worries! That was mid September

I was interested in choosing your precise tour but the link takes me to a site with a large group of options. Is there a name or link I could use to find the tour of which you were so enamored? Thanks!
Which tour was that? We loved several on this trip. If you share more, I can find the proper link ☺️
Thanks for responding. We were wondering about the tour from your video that included tapas and then a sit down dinner.
Here you go! gyg.me/l6yCfYsN enjoy!
Thanks!!!!
Dennis, are you loving the food?
You know it!
Yes were my roots r from i hve lol to offer to.the world❤😊
❤
Thanks for watching!
I want to tip Liz and Dennis!
i like spain
Me too 😁
Menú del día is offered in every restaurant or bar/restaurant as it's something very traditional, you don't have to hunt for anything.
There were many places we went during the week that did not offer that.
@@EatSeeRV Ah, I don't know, maybe some more touristy or modern places don't have them, but the more traditional or traditional places do, as it's very common in Spain.
What are you playing Latin American music?
Because latin American music is fun. We don't only play music from a certain genre in our videos, we chose music that works for the video.
Why did the soccer fan go to Barcelona? Because he heard even the pigeons there have better dribbling skills than most players!
who else is here cause they missed a day of Spanish class
Haha
Just starting the video there is already a serious error. Flamenco music has nothing to do with Barcelona, it is from the South of Spain. Putting flamenco in a video about Barcelona is like putting Scottish bagpipes in a video about London or country music in a video about New York.
Haha I get it. You're not the first to say this. While we do realize flamenco music is from a specific region of Spain, for many it is representative of Spain as a whole. We also have a small selection of royalty free music to choose from here! And using other types of music in videos from different regions is OK. We would and have used country music when we were in the south as well as rap music when we weren't in LA or NYC.
Some little mistakes and maybe a touristic look, but it's a nice video, and you try to add details and facts about the city that other bigger trip- youtubers don't mention.
Thanks! Can't be perfect haha but we try! And definitely a touristic view.
Sorry Dennis and Liz, but I have had my credit card hacked several times in the past years! I keep getting a new credit card, but the scamers are always on line!
Locals do not want tourists there. Just yesterday me amd my wife got harrased while eating at a tapas restaurant.
Sorry to hear that! I know overtourism is becoming an issue there. It's still a lovely city, and remember not everyone feels that way. We've seen both sides of the coin (those who don't want tourists and those who don't mind).
Barcelona is creepy iwth getting ready for 15 min city vibes. This is sold to you as "convenience," but soon it will be "Why do you need to leave your zone?" I'm so tired of shaking the sleeping sheep.
Tienen su propia gastronomía diferente a la española; tortilla española, gazpacho, chistorra….😂
Toda la comida en Cataluña es española😂 lo tipico es el pan con tomate, las butifarras con mongetas y los canalones. Hay mucho más pero no se sirve en lugares turísticos.
Las tapas ,pinchos y montaditos, son platillos del resto de España, como Andalucia y el Norte de España.
Barcelone c’est en Catalogne.
Vive la Catalogne libre!
🤣
Just came back from Barcelona and do not want to go back for more. Be aware that what you see, usually from vlogers, may not match the reality. Barcelona is crowded, loud, busy, dirty city. Stay away from most attractions and you will find areas that are much nicer, pleasant with green parks. The food quality and prices in all tourist areas are high with so so food. The prices and quality outside of the main fares are much better. The spanish food packs a lot of fat, carbs and cals. No salad to be found anywhere, same with fruit on most of the menus. Not a place I would ever want to come back.
@@helenorgarycrevonis2022 Me,too. I agree with everything you’ve said until I just came across this very calming and beautifully done video. I spent a very stressful week with my daughter looking for an apartment for her study abroad. We tried to still explore the city and enjoy everything it has to offer and make the best of our stay. I must say though after watching this video now I have to give it a second chance, since the next time I visit it won’t be tainted with the experience of trying to find a student apartment in one week because the one she had booked online from home was a total fail in terms of what the advertised. It was so overwhelming in such a big city! At last we found a beautiful accommodation for her and now I will forward this video to her.
Stay in the US. You will be happier.
For your info Barcelona is the trendiest city in Europa now, I don't agree with your comments.. maybe you forgot to visit all the masterpieces of Gaudí, the Miró snd Picasso museund as well as Macba, get lost in Gracia and Gothic Quarter...etc
pues no vengas
@@rodgerwill1042 actually I went back again for a week and it was awesome! I will be back when I visit home which is Germany.
Stop using the independent Flag of catalan separatists as if that was the official Catonia's Flag.
Most of Catalan People are not separatists and won't feel represented by an invented Flag.
Catalonia's Flag is just Red and Yellow Stripes. Remembering Aragon's kingdom.
Please be careful with this sort of content and messages to your community.
Visca Catalunya.
Honestly had no idea there was a difference! We see it now but wouldn't have known. Thanks for sharing that 😄
@@EatSeeRV you're welcome.
Full house! Please don't come! Thanks!
Todos los restaurantes de España tienen menú del dia.
Esto viene del boom turístico de los años 60, cuando, por decreto, el ministro de Información y Turismo, Manuel Fraga, establece en el 64 la obligación de tener un menú del día en todos los restaurantes de España
Si pero ahora no todos los restaurants tiene eso. Hemos preguntaba muchos lugarea durante la semana y no tienen.
@@EatSeeRV. Puede ser. Hoy en día, con los precios por las nubes, es difícil que salga rentable para algunos restaurantes. Un abrazo desde Barcelona.
@@EatSeeRV Te recomiendo buscar masias. Ahí está la verdadera cocina catalana.
