Travel: Voy a Espana
March 14th, 2009
“Huh? $220 roundtrip to Barcelona from JFK! Say what, now?”
That was my reaction when my friend Marcus informed me he’d just booked airfare to Spain in November for next to nothing. So it’s official. As of November 4, I will no longer be embarrassed for having never left this country. I have a passport. It’s time I put that sucker to use.
I’m going with a group, there’s about eight of us. So we’ve booked an apartment instead of pricey hotel. Looks pretty nice—four bedrooms, plenty of living space. Check it out.
Plane ticket: check. Lodging: check. Rosetta Stone’s Spanish for Spain language pack: check. What else do I need?
I guess I’m coming to you (friends, family and readers) for tips. Have you been to Spain, specifically Barcelona? Anything you think I shouldn’t miss out on while I’m there. Let me know. Leave your tips in a comment.
Mucho gracias.

Aaron, My husband and I are planning on going to Barcelona next June. Tell me how did you get such a great rate on airfare?

Iberia.com is the site that we purchased the tickets on. I think it helped that we booked the tickets in March, which was 8 months ahead of our trip.
