Day 13 of your relaxed road trip in Spain is your departure day. If you have a flight to catch, you’ll drop off your rental car well in advance before your departure. Choose a late flight to enjoy a stress-free last day in Barcelona.

Make the most of your final day in Spain by visiting Barcelona’s iconic markets and shopping establishments in the buzzing Las Ramblas. Secure the perfect souvenirs for your family and friends back home or buy yourself a remembrance of your amazing experience in Spain.

If you'd rather pass the time visiting some attractions, this is your chance to go to places you may not have had the chance to explore yet.

One fantastic attraction you could visit on your last day in Barcelona is the remarkable Palau De La Música Catalana. This concert hall and popular place of interest has an average rating of 4.7 out of 5 stars from 45,390 visitors.

Unwind and look back at the past 13 days of your relaxed road trip over a bite to eat. This is your chance to enjoy one last traditional meal in Barcelona or just grab something light to keep you going.

Savor the flavors at Hotel Claris, a top pick for dinner tonight. Alternatively, Restaurant El Foro beckons with its unique menu offerings.

Give yourself enough time to wave goodbye to Barcelona and begin your journey home. The unforgettable experiences you’ve collected along your 13-day relaxed road trip in Spain is a story you will tell for the rest of your life.
