In
Season 10, Leg 11 & 12 (original airdate: 12/3 & 12/10/2006) of the
Amazing Race on CBS, teams travel by plane to Barcelona, Spain. In Leg 11's Detour, teams have a choice between Lug It or Lob It. In the "Lug It" side of the Detour, teams carry large heavy characters along Las Ramblas. Last Ramblas is the most popular pedestrian street in in Barcelona.
The first task in Leg 12 is to find a clue box outside of
La Sagrada Familia, the most popular tourist attraction in Barcelona.
I visited Barcelona in December 2009 with my husband, Paul Dunn. On day 1 of our trip, we visited La Sagrada Familia which is truly an amazing structure from the exterior. We visited on a clear, bright day and enjoyed gorgeous views of the church. I found it baffling that this church has been under construction since 1882 and has a completion date of 2026. The designs are extremely intricate.

At the end of Leg 12, teams travel to Paris, France and ascend to level 3 of the
Eiffel Tower. I've visited Paris 3 times (1997, 2006, and 2007), and the Eiffel Tower twice (1997 and 2007).
