Hey guys! Here’s something for all the romatic ones out there! Love is in the air!

Hi! I’m Alex and the ”new one” working at the reception :) As it’s just my second week I can’t give so many hot tips where to go out, eat, etc. but as you may have already noticed, I’m presenting you the daily activities, and tomorrow we have a special one, because it is St. Jordi’s Day! (more…)

The easiest way to discover Barcelona

Thursday, February 21st, 2008

Hello everybody,

How are you? Since spring is comming to town, I just thought about all these lovely things you could do here in Barcelona. So let me start with one of the most popular things to do for people coming to BCN!

The Barcelona Bus Touristic is one of the easiest ways to get to know Barcelona. The bus touristic enables you to know Barcelona by a two floor bus (a roofless double-decker, your first opportunity to get a tan!), with three different routes. With a single ticket you can get on or off the bus as many times as you want. You’ll only need one ticket for all routes. Some of the stops are common to other routes which makes it quite easy to change.

The Northern route and the Southern Route are approx. two hours long, while the Forum route is 40 minutes long. The Forum route runs only during summer season! (more…)

Hola a todos!

How are you all doing?

I hope you all had fun during Carnaval!

And now, it’s time for Easter and we are supposed to eat a little bit less…but the problem here in Barcelona is that there are too many goods restaurants!!!
