Barcelona, other than the small Gothic quarter and the handful of structures designed by Gaudi is dull as hell. The south is where it's at -Cordoba, Granada, and Sevilla.

Riggo-toni Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 Madrid is fine, though I didn't feel like spending more than a day there. Never made it to Ibiza or Canary Islands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they didn't license lawyers who drink and do drugs, there wouldn't be very many. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
