Arc del Triomf have we taken a wrong turn
oldwasp about Arc del Triomf (Barcelona)
The Arc del Triomf is located at one end of a large pedestrianised promenade close to the Parc de la Ciutadella. It was built in 1888 for the entrance into the Universal Exposition (world fair) and the designer was Josep Vilaseca i Casanovas. The structure can be seen from along way off, as [...]

Rambling along Las Ramblas
oldwasp about Ramblas (Barcelona)
Did not stroll along the full length of Las Ramblas just seemed to pop onto it from a side street. The paved area is quite wide with a narrow road on either side, these are one way roads. Lined along the roads are many old buildings with wrought iron balconies around them. The paved area has a [...]

Barcelona on yer bike
oldwasp about Fat Tire Bike Tours (Barcelona)
The bike tour started in the Plaza Sant Jaume at 11am we got there late 11.20 due to getting lost coming out of the Metro at Jaume and turning left instead of right. Chris the tour guide was happy enough to sort our bikes out and set off a little late and the people who had arrived on time did not [...]

August 2006 at Sansi Diputacio
hullaila about Sansi Diputacio (Barcelona)
In the end I was happy with this experience because I am a person who does not live in a hotel, but just want a confortable, clean, tidy place to sleep and have a shower and Sansi Diputacio did not disappointed me. The room was done every day and nothing was missing from our own belongings. [...]

Hesperia del mar
guest about Hesperia del Mar (Barcelona)
Me and my 3 other friends stayed at this Hotel for 5 nights! We loved it, the staff were the most enjoyable, seriously friendly and always willing to help! The only thing I did not like was the fact that our Hairdryer stopped working but was never fixed as they said they do not have anyone to fix [...]

Worst Time in my life
Maramajo about Hesperia del Mar (Barcelona)
While I was checking into the hotel this past July 2005, I was robbed of my carryon bag with my wallet, my prescription eye glasses, my computer, CD player, my favorite CD's and several other valuable items. This happened right in the lobby of this hotel. I stepped two steps to the counter to give [...]

Great Hotel, Great Location, Great Holiday
Maramajo about H10 Raco del Pi (Barcelona)
I stayed at Raco from the 20th to 24th November with my sister and mum so age range 22 to 57.First things first, the hotel was great, good location, clean and well presented. Upon arrival, staff were helpful and accomodating - we were given our free glass of Cava and shown around the hotel [...]

La Ramblas Street
Maramajo about Ramblas (Barcelona)
My friend and I went to Barcelona origionally for 3 days and to be honest I was a bit worried about what I had heard about La Ramblas. However, we stayed in a cracking hostel (Hostel Fina) The staff were so friendly and went out of their way to make us feel welcome. We loved La Ramblas, the [...]

Only a must-see for Miro fans
Maramajo about Fundación Miró (Barcelona)
Well, not knowing a great deal about Miro I thought I should visit to get educated - and unfortunately discovered I am not a fan! I would warn anyone that is not particularly familiar with his work that if you're not fond of abstract art which borders on the incomprehensible then you're unlikely to [...]

Great Hotel - Very Impressed.
charluk about Husa Oriente (Barcelona)
Room When I stayed in this hotel my room was for 3 people and it contained 3 single beds. Although there were a few of us in the room it never felt cramped or as if there wasn't enough space. The three beds were spaced out across the main room area so all three of us had our own space, and the [...]

Miró, Miró on the wall!
weetoon about Fundación Miró (Barcelona)
The Montjuïc area of Barcelona has a lot to offer, not least panoramic views over the city. It is also where you will find the Fundació Joan Miró, an extensive collection of the artist's work in a custom built museum. It is really a case of the building fitting the collection here, with its simple [...]

A good overview of Gaudís work
weetoon about La Pedrera (Barcelona)
Having visited the Sagrada Familia and Park Guell, we wanted to visit one of Gaudí's houses too, the only problem was which one to choose. We eventually went for La Perdrera (aka Casa Milà), as we had passed this intriguing building several times and really wanted to see the unusual roof which we [...]

You cant go to Barcelona and not visit Park Guell!
weetoon about Güell Park (Barcelona)
In Barcelona, it is impossible to avoid Gaudí's work as it is everywhere. Indeed, a difficult question for the visitor with limited time is to decide which of these works they should see. The guide on our 'bus turistic' had definite views on whether or not Park Guell was worth a visit. A tourist [...]

A Masterpiece of Catalan Modernism
koshkha about Casa Batlló (Barcelona)
My husband has a job, which more often than not requires him to work on Christmas day and through most of the Christmas period. Whilst this is the perfect reason to turn down all invitations to spend Christmas with family, it's not the greatest way to celebrate the big day with a 14 hour shift. So [...]

AWAY FROM THE BUSTLE
thingywhatsit about Güell Park (Barcelona)
The Parc Guell is deep in the heart of Barcelona, and for those who do not speak Spanish, the best route is to take a taxi from any central point of the city, which will cost around ten euros, and the for peace of mind, and for parking it is well worth the fare, although parking can be found at the [...]

Hanging out in the Gallery, Barcelona
koshkha about Gallery (Barcelona)
The Gallery is a hotel that I've stayed in many times on business and it's my first choice with my own money whenever I go to Barcelona for fun - but only if I can get a half-decent deal on the room rate. When I first started staying there about 8 years ago, we used to pay about £60 a night. [...]

The four cats is the top cat!
weetoon about The 4 Cats (Barcelona)
During a recent visit to Barcelona, we were determined to have dinner at Els Quatre Gats (the four cats). Barcelona does have quite an important Picasso connection, as he spent his formative years here. Els Quatre Gats was a regular hangout for him and other Barcelonian artists. This was what [...]

A magical mystery tour
weetoon about Barcelona Tourist Bus (Barcelona)
I have often smiled, perhaps unkindly, when looking at these open-top buses for tourists in Edinburgh. There is something amusing about a bunch of tourists sitting on top of a bus getting a running commentary of the main sights So, if there is something to this karma business, a few Barcelonans [...]
