I never would have imagined–4 Generations of my family spending Christmas overseas!! We did more than imagine it— we made it happen. This was my third time in Barcelona. I went once with husband on a cruise, then i took my 2 youngest granddaughters–Maya and Kimmi, and Kelly met us there also and now there were 18 of us that went this past Christmas! A true multigenerational, blended, family and i’m sure my husband was smiling down on us the whole time. My highlights and recommendations from the trip are:

1. Travel wise we used Delta Vacations to book the trip. As compared to booking separately we definitely saved money by booking through them.
2. We stayed at AC Hotel Victoria Suites. It was centrally located, close to the metro and very reasonable. Also because it was a suites hotel we were able to maximize the number of people in a room. There was also a restaurant in the hotel that was a good spot for a late night drink and we used one of their rooms on Christmas Day to do a gift exchange. https://www.marriott.com/en-us/hotels/bcnsu-ac-hotel-victoria-suites/overview/
3. The first night we ate at Quesarium Bar. I don’t drink but those that do said the drinks were fantastic and the food was excellent. Also the staff was very accommodating. https://quesarium.bar/
4. The other big highlight food wise for me was Flax and Kale https://flaxandkale.com/en. Me and Kelly went here on our last day and it was a perfect way to wrap up the trip. They had a wide variety of vegetarian options which you know was right up my alley.
