BARCELONA, SPAIN-APRIL 7, 8 AND 9, 2012

We are docked in Barcelona for 3 days and 2 nights. A new cruise starts on Sunday for 7 days going to Rome. The ship will be full and we will have a whole new table of 8.
BARCELONA is the Catalonian capital of Spain. BARCELONA is closer to the French border than it is to Madrid and is an acient seaport on the Balearic Sea. As a port city, BARCELONA has long been connected to a myriad of cultures and peoples. Northern Africa is within a few days sailing, therefore you will find a hint of Arabic influence. The Romans certainly left their mark on the city. The arts and culture all bear unmistakable marks from this multinational impact creating what many believe to be the rarest gem in the Spanish crown. BARCELONA is an intellectual center that wears the proud patina of time.
