Barcelona - Basílica de la Sagrada Família [Dos] 🇪🇸

The most epic, unfinished Catholic church in the world!🤯 Designed by the Catalan architect Antoni Gaudí (1852–1926) that’s still under construction almost 150 later. It is by far the most fascinating, intricate, & thoughtfully planned out church I’ve ever seen, where every. single. thing you see has meaning - from the positioning of the walls, to the scenes & design depicted in sculptures, and even the pieces / color of the stained glass. This is a bucket list, must-see, not to be missed landmark when visiting the region!

Madrid 🇪🇸 [Dos]

Madrid at sunset is what Golden Hour dreams are made of, especially when deeply historic buildings are the backdrop! The tapas scene here is amazing and had my inner ‘80s child (think “Lunchables Generation”) heart absolutely giddy with all the small plates & bites to discover around every corner! The markets where you can wander from stall to stall tasting ALL the things should be a top priority for at least 1 meal, where you can graze until you can’t anymore! 10/10 would recommend!😋 . .

Madrid 🇪🇸 [Uno]

Spain’s central capital, is a city of elegant boulevards and expansive, manicured parks. We wandered the historic streets, ate amazing foods (special shout out to OROYA at The Madrid EDITION Hotel for our delicious dinner), gawked at the crowds during Sunday’s El Rastro open air market, took in some beautiful street art, and all the beautiful garden spaces! . .

Wave Season 2025 is here!!!🙌🏼

What the heck is “Wave Season”? It’s basically an extended Black Friday for cruises!🚢 It’s that magical time of year when cruise lines offer LOTS of deals (did someone say bonus perks?!?), and is, interestingly, a predictor of how the travel industry at large will perform for the rest of the year. . .
