Oh yes… the rumours are true. My little baby, this little blog of ours is TWO years old today. Hip hip – HOORAY! Man oh man, they grow up so fast, don’t they?

I almost don’t know what to say, yet there is so much welling up inside me and I feel like I could talk and write for hours. But I won’t. I do have to thank you all again for the trust you put in me by visiting these pages every day. I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again – I do not take this responsibility lightly and I feel privileged that so many of you turn your attention to yellowtrace as part of your daily routine. What an incredible honour this is and the trust you guys continue to place in me has made …

Well, well, well… I must admit that am both excited and a little bit sad to welcome you to this Travel Tuesday and the fifth and final post in the Barcelona Travel Guide Series. Like they say – all good things must come to an end, but before I get all emotional and shi… I mean stuff, let me just tell you about a few excellent places where you can spend you hard earned cash (or display restraint unknown to myself, and enjoy a good dose of window shopping, although that’s never as much fun, right?!)

One thing to keep in mind when planning your day is that shop hours are approximately 10am – 1:30pm and 4:30pm to 7:30pm Mon – Fri (and Sat mostly am). And when I say approximately, I mean very approximately, as you need to give or take …

¡Hola Y’all!

Welcome back to Travel Tuesday and this fourth post in the Barcelona Travel Guide Series specially curated for you by yellowtrace. Hooray! Are you ready to hear about some fantastic places to eat and booze up in the fine city of Barcelona? Yes? Perfect – you’ve come to the right place. Let me just start this post by saying that the food in Barcelona (and Spain in general) is extremely awesome. And I mean extremely extreme awesomeness, freshness and deliciousness. You are pretty much guaranteed to have an excellent meal just about anywhere you eat.

Most restaurants offer Menu del Dia (Menu of the Day) which typically includes an entree (soup or salad), main course with a side dish and dessert – all for one price. Menu del Dia is the most economical way to eat in Spain, and a great way …

¡Hola!

Man, these Travel Tuesdays sure come around really quickly, don’t they? Anyway, here we are with the third post in the Barcelona Travel Guide Series. Today I would like to tell you about some of the fantastic places to stay. Not only is Barcelona a super sexy and beautiful bombshell of a city, she is also brimming with great hotels and fantastic apartments to chose from. But the best part is this – accommodation in Barcelona is quite reasonably priced in comparison to most other European cities. Giddy up!

Again, I would like to remind you to leave any of your own tips and recommendations in the comments section of the post – I always love hearing what you guys have to say.

¡Hola amigos!

Welcome to Travel Tuesday and to the second post in the Barcelona Travel Guide series. Today I’m going to tell you about some of the things not to be missed in the glorious Barca – from major tourist attractions to getting off the beaten path and getting lost in this beautiful city. Barcelona is a perfect place to explore on foot (or on your bike). Their metro system is very reliable and efficient. Taxis are also plentiful and affordable. Winner!

By the way, this list was carefully considered and curated in the hope to start a conversation on travel to Barca. It is by no means exhaustive, so if you have interesting suggestions you would like to add to this list, please do so in the comments section (rather than sending me an e-mail) so that everyone can benefit from your insight. Deal? Brilliant. Ok, let’s go.
