BARCELONA SPAIN TOURISM - AP 10-14-19 7.jpeg

This Oct. 7, 2019 photo shows churros and other fried treats on display at Xurreria, a small shop famous for its churros and chocolate, in the Gothic Quarter of Barcelona, Spain. If you’re taking a solo trip for the first time, a European city like Barcelona is a good place to start. The city is dynamic, the streets and cafes are always packed, it’s safe to walk around at night and people mostly speak English. (Courtney Bonnell via AP)
