We’ve now departed Spain and are making a quick connection in Frankfurt for our flight back to the States. We already miss the last city we visited: Barcelona. It was a mesmerizing city and we hope to return someday and spend more time. Time to write much more about this fantastic city is too short, so we’ll let the photos do the talking for now.
