Merry Christmas!

Dear Carol,


Well it took 4 years but global tourism is set for full recovery by the end of this month. Most regions are exceeding 2019 levels, some with double digit growth. New hotels are popping up all over and the big 3 cruise companies are building 40 new ships! All in all excellent news for economies all around the world. What a year it was! Our BEST ever! If you have not tried our services we would love to eliminate your stress by helping you design your trip!


This year our clients travelled to France, Italy, Spain, Portugal, the UK, Ireland, Japan, Hungary, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, South Africa, New Zealand, Australia, the Dominican, Mexico, Barbados, Jamaica, Hawaii, California, Chicago, Las Vegas, Florida, British Colombia and Alberta.


One trend that is emerging is many wish to go "off the beaten path" ..to unique destinations that are less familiar and where you can experience an authentic connection. Another trend is that more people are travelling off-season...to reap the benefits of less tourists and the ability to quietly enjoy the "every day life" of a destination.


This Fall we visited Corsica and I would consider this a perfect "off the beaten path destination" It would also be a perfect Honeymoon spot! On the same trip we were also in Villefranche-S-Mer (Cote d'azur) and then Barcelona, Spain. Please see below a few highlights of Barcelona which is a very popular city to visit as a starting point for a full tour of Spain or as a starting point for your European cruise or just all on its own! I have posted photos to the Your Vacation Home face book page - so please follow us to see them at www.facebook.com/yourvacationhome

A few Highlights of Barcelona!




The Gothic Quarter - One of the best and most central places to stay in Barcelona. Wandering its narrow medieval streets will not only take you back in time it will reward you with unique shops, bars ,restaurants, bakeries and charming palm tree lined plazas.









Las Ramblas -The most well known street in Barcelona - it is mandatory to take a stroll along this tree-lined 1.2 kms pedestrian boulevard. You will find the people watching fascinating - as you see outdoors cafes and restaurants, craft booths, musicians, dancers and street entertainers








The Cathedral of Barcelona and Picasso Museum

is a 14th c Gothic and neo-gothic Masterpiece - the square in front of it is always lively with dancing and singing and attracts throngs of people. Another must see...is the Picasso Museum which houses over 4000 of the artists works!





Gaudi Legacy - There are 12 Gaudi buildings in Barcelona with the Sagrada Familia-being the most famous and the number one tourist destination in the city. This World UNESCO site was designed by Antonio Gaudi - a Barcelona native. Construction started in 1882 and it still not completed! The exterior is so unique it almost gives the impression that it is melting.





La Sagada Famillia - inside

After all these years we finally saw inside the Sagrada Familia! It was a sunny day as you can see -and the myriad of colours were incredible!! Our guide gave us all the details of this Art Nouveau/ Modernist Gothic Revival Catholic cathedral. We can arrange a guided tour for you too!
