Paradors of Northern Spain/Portugal Sept 2, 2016

I am reaching out to any solo travelers on this trip interested in communicating with another solo traveler. I arrive September 1 and would like to possibly meet to tour the day before/of the departure. Also, I added an additional day in Lisbon to continue to tour this city and museums.

  • Hello.
    I'm not going on this tour, I did it 3 years ago.. but I do visit Barcelona often. If by any chance you do not connect with any other solo, I can give you some ideas .
    2 blocks up from the hotel @ a square you can hop on the Red bus line, it will take you to all the sights not cover by Tauck. @ the Park Guell , be aware there is an entrance fee and you "do" have to setup appt. to visit( this started 2 years ago.)

    Casa Batllo is one of the bus last stops is only 5 blocks from the hotel, you pay @ entrance. I would suggest The Palau de la musica (the music Palace ) is amazing within a walking distance from hotel, if by taxi about 7 euros. 5 min. . it does offer tours.

    The Picasso Museum is like 4 blocks down from the hotel next to La Rambla which is a long pedestrian boulevard very fun. La Boqueria ( fresh product market) fun and safe to eat anything there .. the is a coffee shop .. the barista Juanito is a candy. lovely 80year old, interesting character.

    The Cathedral within walking distance from the hotel.
    If you take the hop on hop off bus it will take you around the Marina and up the hill the is a fort, Pueblo Espanol. inside you'll see tons of little shops representing different areas of Spain, is nice also need to pay a fee to get in.
    Tauck will take you around The Gothic Quarter, so your good.

    Barcelona is a very friendly city, 95% of people speaks English and directions are in both languages.
    Have lots of Fun!!
