Hola amigos! I’m back from an absolutely enchanting 10-day vacation to Spain!
Thanks to the incredible planning and expertise of Baboo Travel, my family and I experienced an adventure filled with cultural immersion, delicious gastronomy, and breathtaking landscapes. Let me take you through our unforgettable journey across this vibrant European gem.
Chapter Trail
Day 1 to Day 2: Madrid Magic
Our adventure began the moment we stepped off the plane in Madrid. Greeted by our Baboo local travel guide, we were whisked away to our hotel where excitement pulsed through our veins. After settling in, we wasted no time delving into the city’s treasures.
Day 1 kicked off with a visit to the iconic Prado Museum, a cultural gem brimming with artistic treasures. But what made this museum visit truly special was the immersive experience designed specifically for families.
Led by an engaging guide, we embarked on a 2.5-hour journey through the museum, unlocking the secrets of Renaissance masterpieces and unraveling the stories behind each brushstroke.
Day 2 dawned bright and early with a private walking tour tailored for families. Led by a knowledgeable guide, we traversed Madrid’s historic city center, discovering hidden gems at every turn.
From the majestic Royal Palace to the bustling Plaza Mayor, each landmark offered a glimpse into the city’s storied past. And of course, no tour of Madrid would be complete without indulging in the city’s culinary delights. We savored the flavors of Spain, sampling delectable Iberian ham and indulging in piping hot churros at Chocolatería San Ginés.
Day 3 to Day 4: Barcelona Bound
Next stop, the enchanting city of Barcelona! A high-speed train whisked us away to Catalonia, where a new adventure awaited. Upon arrival, we were greeted by our Baboo Travel guide who whisked us off to our hotel.
Day 3 saw us embarking on a very special scavenger hunt through Barcelona’s Gothic Quarter. From soaring church spires to hidden alleyways, every corner revealed a new surprise. We marveled at the city’s ancient architecture and soaked in the vibrant atmosphere of this historic neighborhood.
Day 4 was dedicated to exploring the architectural wonders of Antoni Gaudí. Our private guided tour took us on a journey through the whimsical world of Gaudí’s masterpieces, from the towering spires of La Sagrada Familia to the colorful mosaic tiles of Park Güell. With each stop, we were captivated by Gaudí’s innovative designs and his deep connection to nature.
Day 5 to Day 7: Culinary Delights and Island Adventures
Our taste buds were in for a treat as we embarked on a guided tour of Barcelona’s famous Boqueria market. From plump olives to ripe cheeses, the market’s stalls overflowed with tantalizing treats. After stocking up on fresh ingredients, we rolled up our sleeves for a hands-on cooking workshop, where we learned the secrets of Spanish cuisine from a local chef.
With bellies full and hearts happy, we bid farewell to Barcelona and boarded a flight to the sun-drenched island of Mallorca. As we touched down on this paradise island, we were greeted by azure skies and shimmering seas, a welcome sight after the hustle and bustle of the city.
Days 6 and 7 were spent immersing ourselves in Mallorca’s natural beauty. We embarked on leisurely hikes through the Tramuntana Mountains, marveling at the rugged landscapes and picturesque villages that dotted the countryside. Along the way, we sampled local delicacies and savored the simple pleasures of island life.
Day 8 to Day 10: Sailing Serenity and Farewell
Our penultimate day saw us setting sail along Mallorca’s stunning coastline, aboard a luxurious yacht. With the wind in our hair and the sun on our faces, we cruised past secluded coves and hidden beaches, each more beautiful than the last. As the day drew to a close, we toasted to new adventures and cherished memories made.
On our final day, we bid adieu to Mallorca and Spain, but not before one last adventure.
We explored the winding streets of Palma de Mallorca, soaking in the city’s vibrant culture and rich history. As we watched the sun dip below the horizon, casting a golden glow over the city, we knew that our journey had come to an end, but the memories we had made would last a lifetime.
