Barcelona's Brilliant First Impression - Spain Adventures: Part 1
This is the first installment of my three-part Spain travel series. Trust me, there's too much good stuff to cram into one post!
Everyone told me Barcelona was magical. I nodded politely while secretly thinking, "OK, but really? Everyone says that about their favorite city." Color me cynical.. they were right!

Trading Paris for Paella: ¡Vamos a España!
For someone who usually makes a beeline to Paris, I'm doing something completely different this time—and I couldn't be more excited. I'm heading to Spain with Mabel, my favorite person and designated translator, who graciously let me handle the planning while she'll handle all the talking once we land. (Thank goodness, because my Spanish extends to "hola" and enthusiastic hand gestures.)
