SPRING BREAK 2012 BARCELONA ITINERARY
Sunday, March 4: Depart Kansas City,
Missouri
Students and faculty will leave the Cottey campus by chartered bus
and travel to Kansas City International Airport for an overnight
flight to Spain aboard a major airline. There typically will be
three or four different flights to accommodate the whole group.
Monday, March 5: Arrive in Barcelona
After clearing customs, a tour representative will meet your flight
at the airport. We will travel to our hotel by motor coach.
After check-in at the hotel, there will be a walking tour of
Barcelona to acquaint you with the local Metro travel, money
exchanging, and other general information which you will find
useful while in Barcelona. During this walk, you will be introduced
to some of the city highlights such as the mile-long tree-lined
boulevard of Las Ramblas which runs from the Plaza de Catalunya to
the monument of Christopher Columbus pointing out to sea.
The remainder of the day will be free to explore or rest.
Tuesday, March 6: Guided Sightseeing Bus Tour of
Barcelona
The guided bus tour will depart from the front of your hotel at
9:00 a.m. The guided tour will take us past the controversial and
still unfinished La Sagrada Familia. This masterpiece of twisting
spires and colorful mosaics was designed by Gaudi, who estimated it
would take 200 years to complete. We will continue on to Gaudi's
masterpiece, the fantasyland of Parc Guell, complete with a bright
mosaic lizard fountain and the longest bench in the world. Finally,
there will be a spectacular view of the harbor from atop Montjuic
Hill, where much of the 1992 Olympics took place.
This tour may give you some insights as to where you will want to spend your free time exploring in more depth some of the historic and cultural treasures of Barcelona. The bus tour will last approximately three hours and the remainder of the day is free time.

Montserrat
