My first trip in 2019 to Barcelona was also my first trip to Spain.

Unfortunately, we didn’t have time to explore any other cities, but it was the perfect amount of time for Barcelona, and we fell in love with the city. Even considered it one of the places we’d eventually move to because it was so laid back. These are a few of my favorite shots from our travels:
