Barcelona - The Beginning of the Next Transatlantic

We are excited to bring the newest Carnival ship, the Carnival Horizon back to the states.

We met up with my youngest son and wife in Barcelona two days before the embark. We will be visiting Malaga, Spain; Gibraltar; Lisbon, Portugal; Vigo, Spain, Halifax, Canada before docking in New York.

Having been in Barcelona previously, we decided to visit the monastery at Montserrat again. We find it so peaceful. It was a very serene setting, except for the throng of tourists talking as they went by, the construction going on nearby, and the jet flying overhead. Otherwise, it was awesome to be there again.

Home of the Black Madonna - which is a story in itself.


Our next stop was the Sagrada Familia. When we visited this Basilica previously, Rexie was unable to go inside because of her health. I had to show her the this amazing place.






These are just a few of the many, many pictures I took. It is hard to describe, but I guarantee that if you visit you will be amazed.

Next stop - Malaga.
