Video summary

This video documents a heartwarming girls' trip where a daughter and her mother spend an entire week exploring Barcelona together. The journey begins at their luxurious stay at the Majestic Hotel in the Passage de Gràcia neighborhood, which they praise for its beautiful decor, romantic atmosphere, and award-winning breakfast that rivals high-end hotels like the Mandarin in Dubai. Throughout the vlog, the duo enjoys sunny weather while navigating a mix of excitement and minor health challenges; the mother suffers from recurring throat issues ranging from tonsillitis to uveitis, requiring salt water gargles and eventually an online doctor consultation via Traveldoctor.es.com that provides prescriptions quickly for travelers abroad. Despite these ailments, their enthusiasm remains high as they plan meals, shop for outfits featuring matching linen sets, and prepare to support the Spanish national team during a World Cup match from their hotel room. The couple immerses themselves in Barcelona's rich culture by visiting iconic landmarks designed by architect Antoni Gaudí, most notably Park Güell. They express awe at the stunning architecture and panoramic city views from atop the park, though they note that tickets must be booked well in advance for interior access. Their sightseeing is interspersed with culinary adventures that yield mixed results; while they initially try octopus at a food market only to find it unappetizingly rubbery and microwaved, they later enjoy pizza and tapas elsewhere. The trip also includes relaxing moments such as spa treatments, sunbathing at the tiny rooftop pool of their hotel, and visiting larger beach clubs like Bastion Beach Club for better facilities and views of famous yachts. As the week draws to a close, the vlog captures both the vibrant energy of the city and some humorous family dynamics. The daughter playfully teases her mother about constantly wearing white linen outfits and jokingly asks if she gets bored with her, before reaffirming their deep bond through heartfelt messages about love being more important than material value during holidays. On their final day, they do last-minute shopping at the Forum area near a Chanel store inside their hotel but miss out on purchasing a desired Kelly bag as it is sold out. They conclude by recommending staying in the Passage de Gràcia district for travelers who wish to explore art and history rather than spending every moment by the beach, ending with a farewell that highlights how much they cherished this shared experience despite minor inconveniences like feeling sick after seafood dinners or losing their voices from overuse.

I wonder how many floors it goes up. We don't have tickets to go inside, unfortunately, but I would have loved to see, but apparently you have to book them way in advance. So, hopefully next time. We are in Park Güell. Um it is another gorgeous Gaudi destination and it's like on top of the city, so you get to see the whole city. >> And we have their stairs. >> Wow, cobble stairs. >> They are lovely. >> Very, very pretty. Guys, this is such a top tip, okay? Cuz we're literally at the top of Park Güell, and my mom has been suffering with strep throat all day, aka tonsillitis or uvitis. And um I called the hotel and they said that they [music] would need to call a doctor to the room, and she needed to go back, wait for the doctor, and it's €150 for a consult. But we just got it off traveldoctor.es.com, and they do it [music] in any of like the Spanish-speaking countries, the doctor speak English, and here is WhatsApping us the prescription. So, and and we [music] did it up here. Literally, I found the website in 1 minute, and we we applied for a consultation, [music] and the same minute we got the consultation. >> Exactly. That's fantastic. Thank you very much, my honey. >> No worries. Mwah. But yeah, [music] just thought as a person abroad, it'd be good to know. Wow. We are just sat here watching the view. >> It's really beautiful. Very nice. And the music is good. >> Wind. >> Yeah, we're in the shade. >> Lovely music. And you can see all of Barcelona. It's a beautiful beautiful city. >> The best mom. Love you. >> My prayers has been answered. Thanks God for everything. Honestly. Me and my mom had some say it's interesting that this is an important house. So, here I am recording it, but I actually don't know what it is. Here we are. Feel like we should know the names of all these things that we're seeing. We're so bad, but so cool. We've come to a food market here in Barcelona. And it's so cool. Wow. >> [music] [music] >> We're going to try. Okay, guys. What should I try? I'm going to try I think it's octopus. >> I am not going to lie, guys. I did not enjoy that food market at all. >> The The >> they do food? I think >> Yeah, the food just didn't taste fresh and the >> They put in the microwave. >> Yeah, I'm quite sure it was like microwave food. I couldn't chew it. Like literally all I got was the Like elastic. All I got was the um like fried bit, like not actually the fish. Like the fish just came off. It was awful. And I feel sick. So, I'm hoping that passes. And we literally had one bite each and like that. So, we're going to walk now to the beach and find a restaurant there to eat. We've come to the Time Out food market in Barcelona. Taste of the this food market that's way better. Uh loads of options. We both didn't know what to pick cuz we felt a bit sick from the other day. So, we ended up going for a pizza. I feel like if we want an empty stomach, we would have had more tapas. >> Yes. >> Yeah. Um we're have We're going to share a pizza. That's my choice. Not good. Um Egypt is up 1-0. Love. Egypt is up 1-0. Love you my Egyptians. And very exciting. There was a lot of like hustle and bustle as well in the market. Um when Egypt scored they just scored a second goal but they took it away from them. But I have faith. Egypt is doing so well. So >> [singing] [music] >> We're having some drinks on the terrace. Yes. >> [music] >> Cheers. Lovely tea. Ginger and lemon and honey. >> [music] >> I have a rosé. And this is the terrace of our hotel. >> [music] >> It's beautiful. It's the famous celebrity yacht Amelia. And then >> Breakfast of champions. I had also started my period. What was it last night? So, guess this is what I had for breakfast. I don't think I can eat it all, but I just want all the flavors and I really want to try that breakfast. The best breakfast I've actually had is at the Mandarin in Dubai. And any of you guys who watched my last Dubai vlog, which was in September, will have seen all the going on there. I kept writing you breakfast messages on the breakfast. And so, we're going to see if this one holds up because their breakfast actually is very high. Moment of truth. I'm going to get another chocolate. Really wish my dad was here. Yummy. I didn't ask for syrup, so it's a little bit extra sweet. But they got it and it's so very yummy. The Mandarin one is still my favorite, but this is still really really yummy. Guys, [music] this water literally has my name on it. Mhm. This is my outfit of the day for the beach. We're going to Bastion Beach Club and it's just like a pool, I think, with like food and we want to sunbathe cuz the pool on our roof of our hotel is actually tiny. I don't think it's designed to go inside. So, um today is like our chill day. We went to the spa this morning and it was so relaxing and um just went in the water, got facials, chilled, like spa, sauna, jacuzzi, etc. And then I've just come back, showered, washed my hair, and we're going to the beach. And yeah, it's our last like full day here. So, this is my mom's outfit. Very cute. Yeah. Super cute. Okay, let's go. >> [music] [bell] [music] >> Just having a lazy pool day today. I think we decided after like hitting like 10k steps every single day. Actually, I think we did like we hit 30k. But, anyway, we are just laying here. It's like almost 3:00 p.m. No, 6:00 p.m. So, yeah, I'm tired. And we're just relaxing and enjoying the view. And there is like good music vibes. So, just a good time. >> [music] [music] >> We're back at our hotel. We spent all day at the beach. I don't know if I'm tanned, but it was incredible. Now, we're going to shower and change. Then, we're going back to Going back to [music] the beach area after for dinner. I feel like Barcelona and everything is so close together. And [music] it's just really cool how you can like have all this beautiful art to see and [music] like so much exploring and honestly so much history and culture in [music] a relatively small city because it's a 10th of the size of London. But at the same time, you can then go to the beach, which is cool. >> [music] >> This is I. Wash your hands. It is our last night here in Barcelona. And we're going for dinner together next to Barcelona. I think it's called Barceloneta. It's by the beach, very close to where we were now. And um there's a restaurant that a lady who was sat next to me and my mom on the plane recommended to us called 7 Portes. Um, she said all the restaurants in that area are nice. So, we're going to see the 7 Portes and the other ones in that area and pick one. Yeah, that's the one 7 Portes. Um, but my mom has said four times already that she really wants patatas bravas before we go. So, we need to get this lady some patatas bravas and some really good tapas, I think, as well would be a good idea. Um, so that is what we're going to do. It's just so pretty here. My mom is here. We have a recommended restaurant here. Because we're in the city. Show you outfit? Okay. You're such a princess. You're so cute! Guys, my mom literally offended me cuz she was like, "Do you not get [music] bored with me?" What do you mean? Do you get bored with me? Yeah. Come on. So, then how can I come >> How do you say that? No, because uh I'm young, but it's not people and young people together. >> It can be boring. >> Whatever. I don't know, my voice is >> going >> going down, but And anyway, no, I love her. >> I had a best >> Well, I hope you will look after me. And then >> Let's see on your phone. >> I'll see. >> We still have to go. >> And she tried to I have a really nice time. I'm proud of you. >> I'm proud of you, too. >> I want to say something to girls or boys, doesn't matter, the children. Doesn't matter your parents on holiday or they don't have Present is not about value, not about the money, it's about love. Try to spend the time with your parents. Doesn't matter if any that beautifulest place in the world or if in the park. For parents, that is a heaven when you when when they are with their children. >> Love you. >> I love you. I think the only things that maybe she love because all the time she repeat about the white um table cloth. >> Yes. >> That's why I think she love it. But I think it is I think in pavement and it is >> It's in a nice place. >> It is in a nice place. It is in paint pigment. >> Yeah, yeah. >> And >> She wants to be by the beach. >> Yes. I think that to be honest is boring. >> [laughter] >> You're such a sassy diva. >> It's Oh, yeah. It's a lovely area. >> Mom? In a country setting. >> I didn't you >> It's the first restaurant on this Yeah. And >> It's beautiful. Did you I want to say something in Farsi. After we can translate. And you have to repeat anything I say as well. Which translates It translates to thank God for all of the blessings that you've given me and I am worthy of Gracias. >> [laughter] [laughter] >> Guys, even though we had such great food, we both feel so sick. So, we don't know if it's cuz we had too much seafood or if it was bad food, but we're saying that it was so busy that it's unlikely that it was a fresh. But anyway, we're back at our hotel now. And um here's hoping that we feel better when we go to bed. >> Yes. We're feeling a bit sickly. She's She's feeling so sick and she still wants to go and see >> So sick. >> She still wants to go and see what's going on. >> So sick. >> I think she feels a mixture of ill and this >> [music] >> It's our last day here in Barcelona. We did some shopping. We're We're in the girl land, which is the forum. We went to the Chanel store cuz it was literally inside our hotel. It would have been really good to buy a bag that I saw on the first day that I wanted to get. I should have just got it on the first day cuz it was sold out. The Chanel Kelly. But we move And it wasn't meant to be, even if it was. >> And my voice is gone. >> My mom's lost her voice. But, um yeah, we have to leave for the airport in an hour. So, we are just doing some last-minute walking around, going going to go to Sephora. And like literally, this is the road of our hotel, and this is like one of the Gaudi buildings. So, I actually recommend like stay in Passatge de Gràcia, because you're so close to everything. Um unless you really just want to spend all your time by the beach. >> I don't think so. That would be interesting. Champs-Élysées That's a long >> Which hotel? >> The beach one. >> Yeah. So, unless you just want to spend all your time >> Oh my god, look at that. It's so pretty. >> Yeah, if you just want to spend all the time at the beach, then yeah, stay at like either W or Arts. But, I think if you want to explore the city like we did, then I really recommend our hotel. It was called the Majestic, if I've not already said. I think I have said. >> It was so beautiful. >> Yeah. >> It was the best. >> My mom sounds like Harry My mom sounds like My mom sounds like Harry Kane in that interview. My camera's going to die, but this is the end of the vlog.
