- From everywhere we’ve traveled to so far, Barcelona, Spain, was the destination city that you all were most excited for, but we sadly hit Barcelona with a string of unfortunate events. Despite the rocky start, we had the grandest time touring Spain's world-famous Sagrada Familia and filling our stomachs with more delightful Spanish food. We will certainly be making our way back to Barcelona in the future for a redemption trip, and maybe next time, we will catch some sunnier days! 🇪🇸

If an Airbnb is ever misrepresented, take pictures and immediately leave. Message both the host (through Airbnb) and Airbnb themselves about the situation. Ask for a full refund and don’t let them cancel the reservation because then you can’t leave a review and warn others about the property. I’m sorry you guys had a string of misfortunes. That can be so rough while traveling. Hopefully the pendulum will swing the other way soon! Safe travels!
Thank you for your message! We will certainly do this if it ever happens again.
I'm glad you are able to rest and recover.
I'll share a little secret with you: this is my favorite channel on CZcams currently. No joke . Not only are you visiting all the cities I'm passionate about, not only do you both have great taste and attractively groovy vibes but most importantly you just seem like authentically good people in a healthy relationship and with the way the world is these days it's a breath of fresh air frankly. Hang in there less stress! Saludos cordiales desde Seattle!
You just truly made our night. Thanks for your kind words and for supporting what we do. We hope you have a wonderful rest of the week. 🥳
🙋🏽♀️Great to see you both and thank you for sharing your trip with us 🫶🏽💯
From this BEAUTIFUL video you would have never known the trials and tribulations that you had been through!!!! You are both amazingly hard working and NEED to take a break some times and just be! I'm so glad you are both well now! Prayers for continued good health and safe travels!
We loved Barcelona. My husband and I loved exploring the towers of Sagrada Familia. We did the Hop on bus to see the highlights of the city before our cruise. Tapas there is amazing.
You guys are doing great. The main reason why I have been following your adventures isn’t for the places per se but because of HOW you two experience life the way you do. Keep it up you two!! ❤️❤️
Nicely explained. Thanks for showing.
Thank You Both for sharing and no matter what it’s always great to see and spend time with you two💗💗🙏🏽😷
WOW cannot wait to visit there! Thanks for sharing
Thank you for keeping it real! Travelling always present some sort of challenges, but overall it is a positive experience. Love your videos xx
The video was great, I really enjoyed it. Also thank you for your honesty at the end of the video. You two are awesome! 🌟
Thank you for the amazing pics of inside the cathedral So amazing and the architectural work is so beautiful Glad to hear you are feeling better. You two work so hard and always put out great videos. Love your honesty and know you have so many loyal fans with me being one Still can’t get over all those amazing buildings and crazy on the pigeons. I’ve never seen so many in one spot. Always wishing you two the very best and safe travels. Thank you again for giving us the history behind the things your videoing and the foods you eat are always so beautifully plated. You two have an amazing palette for such young people. Great to see💕🥰
Thanks for your honesty and kind words Corena. We still laugh about the number of pigeons on that square. Really caught us off guard. haha. Looking forward to sharing many more meals and pigeon moments in the future!
So glad I found your wonderful videos! Thank you for the great content and sharing your experiences!
Everything looks so beautiful! This video was wonderful and I appreciate you sharing and hope you had fun. What a wonderful place! 😍🤩
The stained glass in Sagrada is heavenly! Glad to see you both there. Thanks Chad and Claire for taking us with your world travels.
Continuing to enjoy watching the two of you experience life traveling. Bummer about the situation, but life happens everywhere. Thx!
I love you 2. So sincere and genuine.
Love the buildings, omg ! No comment after the baby squid with egg ? The cathedral....WOW beautiful !! I’ll pass on the octopus 😊, no windows ! Yuk. Sad the air B&B was so bad, so glad your feeling better 🌺. The fact that your real, is the biggest reason I love watching y’all and your travels. Hope your air B & B’s never are as bad as the closet one you experienced 🙏🙏. Take care, safe travels. Looking forward to where you go next ! Thanks for taking us with you 😊😊
Love this !!
This seems to be a very interesting place, I hope I can visit sometime in the future. Seeing and sharing places like this is why I love traveling and make videos so much! And please keep up the great job! Subscribed!!
It was a great video. I’m glad you are feeling better. It’s not fun getting sick. ❤️
Chad and Claire, I was so touched by your hardship story, Claire had a fever and horrible Airbnb experience at the 14 minutes mark. Yet against all odds you did your best. This is truly Magnificent, Beautiful and a Master Piece. This is the best travel video I ever saw. The buildings/architecture in Barcelona are majestic. Sagrada Familia was amazing.
Your video reminds me the Korean Drama “Memories of Alhambra” which filmed there in Spain and Granada. But your video is much better. I love the new theme “rom-com” and Spanish music.
The food your had it looks so delicious. And the cinematography and drone shots is out of this world. Even though you faced hardship; however you have shown the best side of human being and shown us the very best travel experience and with your broad smile it really lights up my day. Thank you Chad and Claire for being REAL in sharing your life and travel with us. Keep up the great job and take your health and be safe.
You must have esp. you had calamari and baby squid, just made squid with bean curd slice and celery and just upload a new video “Winning Recipe for Squid (game)” and hope you like it.
Can’t wait for your next video and destinations.
Stay tuned for our Grenada video :) Just watched the trailer for "Memories of Alhambra" and it looks like a well made show! We'll have to watch it. Congrats on your new episode! We'll also have to go watch that one now.
Oh Barcelona and tapas!! I lived in the Gothic area for 5 months during my university exchange, and loved it. Usually patatas bravas are served with aioli (basically garlic mayo) which is probably what you had on top as well 🤗
Thanks again guys! Be careful & have fun. LMWL
Great video! Loved the tour of Barcelona and the tour and explanation of the Basilica! I still do not know how you do all you do, except that the enthusiasm for travel and adventure and your youth makes it all worth it. I once took my mother on a trip through Europe, so I know that although traveling is one of the best things to do in the world, it can be exhausting too,
Travel is exhausting, but reminding ourselves our lucky we are to be doing what we are doing really gives us a lot of energy to keep going.
I have lived in Barcelona for almost 16 years and to this day I have never lost my love and passion for the place.
I think you are both super positive in how you have shown Barcelona, despite your experience.
I so hope you both can come again soon , there is so much more to see and do.
abrazo furte.
Wow! Memories of the Sagrada rushing in my mind as we visited it last 2015.
RAIN OR SHINE thanks for taking us along! Hang on...sometimes things just do not turn out as planned, but at the end of the day, we know we are blessed....just like how the two of you did in this vlog. Always looking forward here to our "next" with you both. Take care and enjoy🌞🎭🇵🇭
Lovely vlog with even lovelier people! wishing you both great health and success :)
I had a similar experience in Barcelona regarding the airbnb.....very diapointing place. Thanks again for sharing.
Both times when we were in Sagrada during the morning there wasn’t strong sunlight… looks beautiful when the sun lights it up
Airbnb's are usually either really good or bad. Thank you for sharing your journey and thoughts! Awesome video! 😍
You know, you two have such bubbly, effervescent personalities, it’s hard to imagine you being outwardly BUMMED OUT over those early failures in Barcelona…but hey, we’re all humans right lol?
Continued happiness & good health 🤗🤗👍🏼👏🏼
Thanks Robert! We try to stay positive, but it's not always easy. Hope you have a wonderful week!
You are such a lovely couple. You both have an amazing personality, that makes us want to be around you. Your videos are really relaxing and interesting. Thank you :)
Phenomenal video…how did you get the aerial coverage?? Do you shoot that with a drone? Awesome content and explanations. I’ll look forward to watching more of your videos! 😅😊
your videos are so well made, yall will blow up soon!
You two are truly world travelers❤️.
The tapas 😩😍 patatas bravas is actually our favorite tapa 😂 it’s just so simple and SO GOOD! Glad y’all liked it :) Also the colors in the Sagrada Familia were gorgeous!! There’s also no way I could work in a place with no windows AND you were sick?! We would be out of the place in no time! 😂 Loved the video y’all :)
you captured the beauty so well despite everything!
Happy you think so! :)
Been there recently, great place for a run!
Thanks
I’m looking forward to my trip late this year. I’ll be there around the same time.
great trip. on my way there for some cycling afventures . thanks for sharing.
Don't forget your helmet! :D Have a fun trip!
@@ChadandClaire yes. Thanks for reminding.
Good to be real. What a cathedral !❤️🇨🇦
Sway means to move slowly or rhythmically. The buildings in the Gothic quarter do not sway unless you’ve been drinking.
Beautiful video of a beautiful city! Love it❤️ me too i just been there and made a video about Barcelona.
Thanks for this vlog, one of the places on my list. I saw Chadd had his backpack in front, I suppose you had to be very vigilant regarding your belongings? Glad you got better quickly from the hiccups that came with traveling!
I have been to Barcelona three times and I have yet to enter Sagrada. Will look to do that this summer. 😅
@Claire. Where did you buy your crushed velvet blazer! It is 🔥🔥🔥. Love you guys. Happy and safe travels.
Hi guys! i'm from Barcelona and it's so sad you had such a bad experience with the airbnb and the weather! i recommend to visit in spring / autumn months, when temperatures are soft and rain is weird to see hehehe ( not in summer like right now, temperature are super high and humidity is gross haha)
Another think i want to mention: places you'd showed where you eat are such a touristic places, what that means lower quality food for higher prices as you were eating next to touristic place ( la Boquería, etc). Talking about food, the white sauce in patatas bravas is called allioli what literally translates to " garlic and oil" but in those touristic places they serve like a mayoinaisse with some kind of garlic flavour that has nothing to do with real allioli. That "bocadillo" yo ate, is not a typicall bocadillo here. We eat bocadillos with another bread not burger bread! and that "Pulpo a la gallega" well..it's usually served in slices over a boiled potato... just to clarify :)
Keep with the greta work you do and keep travelling! i hope you can come back to Barcelona in the future and have better impresions :D
I'm sorry if i made some typo / grammar mistake, english is not my mother tongue :)
On your visit to Barcelona, bread with tomato spread with oil and salt is typical of Catalonia. Elsewhere it is from Spain is tomato crusher. Two different ways. For breakfast a sandwich, or slices, bread with tomato and sausage (sweet or salty ham, fuet, etc ...)
Nice video, what was the weather like outside of raining (degree wise)?
Great video… thank you…. What hotel is this one that you ended up at? Would you recommend it?
Guys, the nearby town of Rehus is the hometown of Gaudi. It has a small museum of his work.
Reus. Not Rehus.
We like your very candid video trip of Barcelona. It would be more helpful if you can put captions of all the places, restaurants and the food you eat. Thank you.
You guys are so sweet.
What app did you use for the metro 6:02
Thanksgiving isn't actually celebrated in Spain, it's only celebrated in the United States, Canada, Grenada, Saint Lucia, and Liberia. Maybe this video was filmed around the American Thanksgiving.
Nice vlog, just kinda confused over a statement as someone who's grown up in Catalonia. Did you mean American Thanksgiving? Because we have no Thanksgiving or anything similar to it in Catalonia.
Hiiiiiiii Myyyyyyy Darling’s 🙋🏽♀️💗💗let’s get going rain or shine ✨
what is the music you are playing in the background?
Hi, which month did you guys go?
What's it like with Covid in Spain now? I am travelling to Barcelona in March and I am worried about the rules and regulations, great video!
super relaxed, just have to wear masks indoors
What hotel do you suggest that’s centered
i couldnt stop laughing when she was describing la tortilla de patatas y el pan con tomate like some kind of gourmet dish
guys we literally eat that when we're lazy and dont want to cook
also that wasnt a bocadillo that's a regular ass burger lmao
other than that great video im glad y'all enjoyed the city
cold
Another wonderful video. Imagining that chocolate mouse big time. Maybe have a pcr test in case you had/have Covid? It could be that you simply had a fever. I took a pcr 15 days after first symptoms and it showed positive. Stay healthy well and happy 😘
We got tested recently and it showed negative! Thanks for looking out for us!
Hola Senor Chad and Senorita Claire 🖐
Hola! :D
Claire, you look gorgeous!
pl indicate prices of food in USD to be more informative for others. TQ
Really nice vlog, I love how you made it work even with the rain. Just for the record it's pronounced Casa (Baat - low) and Park (Gwell). Enjoy Barcelona!
Hope you go to Granada
Stay tuned!
What’s the best month/season to travel in Spain?
Spring
I’ve given BCN 3 chances - 2 of my 3 stays were at least 3 weeks each. I come away underwhelmed, disappointed and on my first visit…stitches in my head from being attacked by punks in El Raval! Overrated and overpriced. The architecture is Amazing…I’ll give it that. Your video on Granada was beautiful. That place is Wondrous! I suggest a visit to Porto, Portugal.
So glad claire fever gone. Thank you for sharing all your adventures
Don't take it hard on you. Make sure you are well. You did good.
The gothic quarter is actually only 100 years old. It's mostly fake, especifically designed to mimic gothic architecture
Did you feel safe
In Barcelona ? Would a solo traveler be fine?
yes of course
👍👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🧡🧡🧡🧡 It´s a great video...
Thank you 🤗
Did they ask you for a Covid passport to eat inside restaurants? And if they did what did you show them
I spent Thanksgiving in Barcelona as well! 3rd time on Barcelona for me and I still haven't gotten to Park Guell... I always do Sagrada Familia tho, cuz the place is just awe inspiring!
I've spent nearly 2mos in Barcelona over the yrs and will absolutely be going back. There is just soooo much to see n do and its a different city depending on the season. The beaches in the summer, the Christmas markets in the winter... Planning another trip next yr. I generally do ok w/ AB&B but I have a few rules. Always get a balcony or patio, 80% of the spaces will at least have a Juliet balcony so you'll be guaranteed light. I always book a private bathroom. I always book some place on the outskirts of city center - not too far - but not El Born, Raval, or Barri Gotic. Usually Fort Pienc or Eixample. Here's the catch: always within a 5min walk to the metro. I had great weather when I visited at the end of September in 2019, the middle of May was as rainy as the end of November so... Take ur pick. 💕🥰
Great tips for booking a good place! We'll definitely follow them for next time! :D
u guys are way to cute i love your videos
As a nurse, I strongly recommend that you try to balance your stress levels, as stress will definitely lower your immune system and make you vulnerable to illness. Remember SCAD, in the dorms during exams when many got sick? That's the stress, and travel can get stressful. Just don't sweat the day-to-day BS of travel - go with it, so to speak, and don't stress too much over money. You can of course, also keep your immune system strong by getting enough sleep, taking Vitamin D, B12, and zinc. As for the content, we are here to share time with you, so whatever you decide to do will make us happy. Personally, it does not matter whether I see you enjoying a luxury resort or sharing a hostel with 25 other people who snore and pass gas all night long. It is the joy and love you both have for travel, for yourselves, and for others that I am here for.
Hey George! Thanks for the advice and knowledge about stress. It is wild to think about how many people would get sick during finals at SCAD. We always try to get plenty of sleep and having a bad place to stay didn't help us out much. Thanks for the encouragement about the travels as well! Happy to hear youre here through it all.
Best thing to do in Barcelona when it's raining is get some weed and get baked
Your barca problem is nothing compared to mine I came to airport with girlfriend friend and a small dog in a plastic basket and they didn’t want to allow me to fly the dog basket must be elastic so I was suddenly stuck in Barca with no money and a dog 🐶😜
Actually/ Barcelona is top wettest cities in Europe ( don’t believe the hype
Please comb your hair, Chad.
Next time you visit Barcelona, make sure to inform yourselves about monuments and food. That bravas sauce is allioli, a typical catalan sauce. The Sagrada Familia is a BASILICA, not a cathedral. That "Spanish toast" is not Spanish, is Catalan again (pa amb tomàquet). Parc Güell has free zones at certain times, you just need to research better.
Be mindful about other cultures. By saying everything is Spanish, you are erasing the Catalan culture.
There is no Thanksgiving in Spain -- because they didn't kill Native Americans to live there and didn't have a feast with pilgrims. It's only a US holiday. Not an international one. :) Cheers guys, keep learning
The type of music you chose is not native to barcelona nor catalunya. Its andalucian. Flamenco is definitely not part of our culture
Barcelona It’s not Spain. We Don’t feel spanish. We feel catalan people.
Enjoy our city!!
Very disappointed with this vlog. Unlike in the one on the Basque Country, you didn’t talk at all about our own catalan language, culture and INDEPENDENT history. Just a general video about the same generic spanish traditions wich aren’t even our own. Too bad you couldn’t see beyond the spanish colonization courtain. Two generic tourists in my city. FREEDOM FOR CATALONIA!
Yawn. Foreigners can’t tell the difference between Spanish Tapas and Catalonian tapas.
It’s hardly THAT different.
Can you talk a little bit more about this? I am visiting Barcelona next month and I don’t want to look stupid or offend any locals when I am there.
