My new year's resolution is to be a better trip planner. I've spent hours pouring over internet resources and yesterday I bought RS Barcelona and read pretty much the whole book. I have a long list of sights and tours, and I'm overwhelmed now trying to organize them into daily itineraries.
I have 6.5 days, landing in Barcelona at 10 am on Tuesday, March 8, taking a morning train (yes, ticket is purchased) to Valencia on Tuesday, March 15. I'm staying across the street from the Palau de la Musica - good for sightseeing, not so good for getting to the train.
I want to take day trips to Tarragona and Figueres and a 1/2 day to Montserrat (sans hiking). Best/worst days for each?
These walking tours sound interesting. Has anyone done them? Good? Bad?
- Modernisme walking tour - 2 hours. Price includes "anytime" ticket to Modernisme Museum, Wed or Fri., 15.30
- Picasso tour 1 hour walking tour, 1 hour guided museum tour, free access to museum after tour. Tues, Thurs or Sat at 15.00
- Santa Maria del Mar Rooftop tour daily at 14.00 & 15.00
- Ghosts of Barcelona walking tour Fri. eve (bilingual - Spanish/English)
- Barcelona's Darkest Past walking tour (Sat. eve.) OR
- Sefarad at Palau Requesens tour and dinner (Sat. eve) OR
- Santa Maria del Pi tour, (Sat. eve) includes climbing the tower
Once I get these into the itinerary by day, I should be easier to figure out the rest.
