Shore Excursions Grandsons would enjoy

[Seahorse Lover]

We will be on a Western Mediterranean cruise in June with our Son, DIL and 14 & 12 year old Grandsons.  Can anyone recommend especially interesting shore excursions/activities/private guides for the port of Barcelona on a Sunday and Palma de Mallorca on a Monday?

 

Thank you!

same response  to all your other threads about suggestions.

 

Try internet searching "Barcelona for teens" as there may be good results with suggestions  for their ages. 

 

Also have them read about Barcelona  as they might be tempted by some of the sights/sites described..

 

You don't say what their interests are, but a really obvious sight/site for teenage boys would be a tour of the world famous  Camp Nou, home ground  of FC Barcelona..

 

And for everyone,, #1 on your plan should definitely be  the Sagrada Familia..

 

Barcelona is really quite easy to DIY as long as your do your own homework about public transport although you may not need that at all.  The HOHO routes are  worth looking at as the city is large and quite spread out and they give a really good overview of most of what the city has to offer.  And if you stay onboard for the full routes, they are an easy and  relaxing way to get a great city tour There are stops at both Camp Nou and Sagrada Familia..  As for the Sagrada F. you would need to pre-book that. 

 

Do search for and read previous threads and replies for all your ports  by using the SEARCH box immediately below your user name, making sure you are on , eg France Boards for your French ports, SPAIN ports for your Spanish ports etc etc.

 

I think that if you do both HOHO routes, visit Sagrada Familia also Camp Nou, and have a bite to eat somewhere along the way,most of your day will already be taken up, although there should be time for a short stroll around some of the historic centre before returning to your ship.
