Your first day in Spain is all about taking it easy. Settle into this colorful city along the Mediterranean Sea. Relax with a glass of Spanish sangria and a selection of local tapas. If you feel like exploring, wander along Passeig de Gràcia to discover one of Antoni Gaudí's most beautiful works. Admire the modern architecture of the Eixample neighborhood and gaze upon an ornate cathedral in Barcelona's Gothic Quarter. This first day will be a relaxing yet enchanting view into the many treasures yet to come along your journey. 

Today is a day of exploration and of wonder as you continue to discover the beautiful city of Barcelona. This day is a homage to Spain's beloved architect, Antoni Gaudí, and includes a visit to two of his finest works. Begin by exploring Barcelona's most impressive park, filled with colorful mosaics, gardens, and a stunning view of the city skyline. An awe-inspiring afternoon awaits in the Gothic Quarter as you experience one of the most famous monuments in the world. Finish the day on a sweet note by indulging in one of Spain's favorite desserts at a historic churrería.

There is nothing quite like a road trip to have a true adventure. To begin the day, bid a fond farewell to Barcelona and start your journey south towards the Roman city of Tarragona. Along your route, discover an ancient aqueduct from the 1st century. Tarragona transports you back to Roman times while exuding Spanish charm. Wander the streets as you admire pastel-colored facades and well-preserved ruins. Complete your day in the eyes of a gladiator as you tour an ancient Roman amphitheatre.
