We're about to depart this afternoon for a Western Mediterranean cruise on Valiant Lady from Virgin Voyages ... but not before we snuck in a day and a half of sightseeing in Barcelona (an 8 ½-hour flight from Miami). 

Here are some photo highlights from our trip so far, including the Basílica de la Sagrada Familia, Casa Mila, Casa Batlló and Las Ramblas.
