OMG. What an exhausting, adventurous, fantastic weekend!!
We left for the train station right after classes on Thursday at about 1:30, took the first train from San Lorenzo to Madrid, and from Madrid took the "Ave" (bullet train) to Barcelona. Somehow we managed to get first class Ave …
Departing Barcelona
... but wasn’t sure about the 2.10. I questioned what that was for. The driver then pointed to a big sticker on the rear rightside window displaying the 2012 Barcelona taxi tariffs. There it clearly states “CRUISE LINER QUAY, to/from 2.10.” Okay, so that charge is legitimate.

TravelPod Member ReviewsResidencia Universitaria Nikbor Barcelona
The rooms were a lot smaller than I expected, but it was also my first hostel. Friendly staff, very safe, clean beds, towels, bathrooms, etc. Only complaint was it was so hot in the rooms! But when we returned the second day they had placed 2 fans in our rooms. Very pleased with my stay!
