Barcelona Ramblas Be Hostels

Entry containing 2 photos titled: Gaudi, las Ramblas

After breakfast and another quick nap we ventured out into the sunshine! through Placa Real and past Palau de Generalitat to the cathedral. From there we made out way back to La Rambla to Mercat de Boqueria. we ambled round la mercat with rumbling tummies........so much fantastic food; hams, fish, seafood, fruit and veg. our bellies got the better of us and we stopped a Bar Boqueria, a tapas bar where we ordered courgette tortilla, which was huge! we got talking to an English couple who very ...

Cheese on toast for breakfast. note to self: don't bother making a cup of tea again, especially one made in a microwave! :-( packed up some fruit and croissants and set off for Liceu, metro to Glories to the gian cucumber that is Torre Agbar. couldn't go upto the top so wandered over to Teatre Nacional de Catalunya. Sat in the shade to eat our lunch then set off to find Monumental Bull Ring (their words, not mine!) which was very Moorish in style. Caught the Metrio to Palau Real. Strolled aro...

We arrived on Tuesday 8th April 2008 at 10pm at BCN airport and caught the RENFE train to the city. A short Metro ride took us to Liceu stop on La Ramblas. out hostal was about a 5 minute walk from there...... it would have been quicker if i hadn't got such a heavy rucksack! straight to bed, i was shattered!

the very first thing i wanted to buy was an apple madeline from the little cake shop near the cathedral. armed with these we made our way down to the Marina and through Barceloneta, to the beach. after scoffing the cakes we made our way along the beach to Port Olympic. we then walked past the mad Gas Natural building which has bizarre overhangs and is covered in mirrored glass. we slogged on past the zoo and estacio de franca, by which point my feet were starting to give me trouble........ if...

Visited Palau Guell today, its another construction by Gaudi but only a small part of it was open. Bought some postcards and sat and wrote them, took them up to Placa de Catalunya to post. went around El Corte Ingles and spent quite some time at the fish counter! Came back.......without posting the postcards! After another rest we went up to Placa d'Espanya to see the Magic Fountain, which is 15 mins of music and water, which sounds a bit **** but it was really impressive. stuffed myself at F...

We had a terrible nights sleep thanks to the noisy French in the room next door. I shudder to think what they were doing but involved a lot of shouting, banging of doors and moving of furniture! After breakfast we went to Pl d'Espanya to catch the train to Montserrat. we had been there before but it was so foggy we hardly saw anything so we thought we'd give it another try. We went up the mountain in a cable car and had a fantastic view. we rode up the funicular to the next level of the mount...
