My Dream Vacation I hope to take one day is to Barcelona, Spain. It's just so beautiful and I feel like the culture experience would be so special. ❤ I'm sorry you didn't like it as much. Maybe if you were to go back again it might be less busy.

What’s crazy about the Sagrada Familia is that’s not renovation, it’s never been finished. It’s expected to be finished in 2026, but due to the changing designs and lack of funds, it’s still not finished. It’s been in construction for over 200 years! Absolutely love the vlogs and glad to see you’re both happy and healthy! ❤️

You definitely missed a real treat by not going inside it La Sagrada Familia. We were in Barcelona for the first time five weeks ago and went inside La Sagrada Familia, and it is stunning and so the opposite of the outside. The windows are stunning, you cannot see their beauty from outside. It’s modern and full of such beautiful colours and Gaudi spirals, and we went up one of the towers. We spent several hours inside. It was so relaxing and tranquil and spiritual.

@brogantatexo Жыл бұрын

Of course, we’d love to go inside in future but a) didn’t think we’d have time and b) couldn’t get tickets. It is on our list though, we’ve seen the photos 😊

@bettyboothroyd1 Жыл бұрын

Isn’t it spectacular inside?! I remember standing in the sunlight pouring through the stained glass and welling up because it was so unbelievably beautiful. We booked our tickets online for our chosen time slot the day before, if I recall correctly. Really quick and easy.

Sensational. Cannot get enough of this. About that Sagrada Familia cathedral...pretty sure I read that they started construction on it some 200 years ago, and STILL haven't finished!

When you were standing in the square in Barcelona saying you were tired and wondering where to go, i was shouting 'turn righ't at the screen lol.

That's completely incorrect Tracey. Those things are all a big part of it, but over the 3 vlogs so far we've also shown entertainment and live music in the Clubhouse and Skydome, a game show, the gym, drinks at bars, whirlpools and swimming pools, the swim-up bar, Shopping, Altitude Mini Golf, Mission Control The Escape Game, Bingo and the incredible Spa to name a few! Still to come in the next vlog is the sail away party, cinema and kids clubs too!

You managed a decent walk around Barcelona in one day, it's huge! Do go back and spend more time, slightly off season, it's worth it. Camp Nou, Park Guell, Sant Pau nr La Sagrada, and trips up both Montjuic and Tibidabo for the outrageously good views. Also if you have longer you can enjoy visiting Montserrat and chilling in one of the beach towns.

I also didn't love the Digital Show we spoke about in this vlog (Benj's favourite but my least favourite), I said it lacked a storyline. I found the buffet to be quite busy on a sea day morning, so I preferred eating at The Quays or the main restaurant. Other than those things, I honestly don't have much to criticise about Ariva. We had an amazing trip and I felt totally at home. Hope that helps! 🥰
