georgiapeach:
Ferry takes 19 hours to Barcelona, much longer if they go onwards.

stekay:
There is probably a train connection from Barcelona to Sevilla along the coast. I've been in Salou a few times which is near Barcelona and there was a train route then. Are flights a no go?

DrRox:
High speed trains are available from Barcelona to Seville via Madrid. Travel time is 5 to 5.5 hours.

This itinerary makes no sense. Why would snow in Dallas affect a direct flight from Houston to Vegas? You could never book a flight with a connection as the original schedule. You cannot book a flight that takes off 2 minutes before you arrive. Flight delays in Houston are because of weather conditions in Houston, not Dallas.

More sensible flight connections are Paris to either London, Montreal or Toronto......then to Vegas. That keeps the connecting airport out of the US.
