Barcelona and points north and south.
A few things that eased the trip and/or are improved since last trip. I’ll first echo what many have said. I had never used Apple pay. Was nervous. Got it set up. As a result, did not use credit cards first 7 days of trip (only for tolls on highway). Apple Pay everywhere. Once I got over intimidation factor it was great and very easy Allowed me to leave credit cards in room. Just carried phone.
Paid $35 thru t mobile for ten days of using iPhone like at home. Phone served as GPS (a necessity on small coastal switchbacks), all reservations in my phone, audio guides, directions walking, deciding which subway stop to use and which was closest, restaurant options. Even great to call husband when he got lost to find him.
American Express primary car insurance. I’ve had it for years, and luckily never needed it, but husband was renting car (shift, which I can’t do). Two hours after renting car, we parked in a paylot across from a police station in broad daylight. Came back from beach/lunch to a badly damaged passenger side mirror. Cops said they would not take report. Lost a lot of time but AE helped us out.
