... br> When we had found James (perfect timing, of course - he arrived outside the hotel just as we stepped outside) we guessed at a suitable route down to Paral.lel to bring us out somewhere the the Cafe Espanyol. By pure chance this took us past something that we'd never seen before, or indeed were even aware of, the tiny church of Sant Pau de Camp (St. Paul in the Fields) which has its own Wikipedia entry here ...

Quickie Tour of Barcelona and Andorra
... by. Geez they are fast. We snuggled our way into the crowd lining the streets and wait for the rest of the race. Don't know if those 6 were the leaders or just a group that was out front. Before long there are support cars flying over the hill and cameramen on the backs of motorcycles and police all racing down the street and then the main group of bicycles come through and it seems like there are hundreds of them and they are flying down the street. How ...

At the beach i felt like i was dodging little kids with fireworks the whole time until my friends and I got our own area. Little kids should not be allowed to have fire. There were fireworks in the air going off everywhere. There weren't too many bonfires, which i would've preferred because i was freezing. I bought ...

We spent today lounging and swimming in the Mediteranean about five blocks from Gustavos house. There I discovered the Packis day job, where they sell beer at the beach. So far its been great, and tonight we have the correfoc to look foreward in Barri Poble Sec. Its some kind of festival involving running with fireworks...it should be fun. Pictures coming soon!

Historical Traveler Reviews Eurostars Cristal Palace Barcelona
Alice in Wonderland Hotel! ie minute rooms
When we checked into the hotel (which is in a great location) we went up to the room which was tiny especially for a 4 star. The tiny window also looked onto a concrete wall!! We eventually after much drama got moved to a slightly bigger room. When I say bigger I mean about 2 foot bigger! We were still looking onto the concrete wall which also faced other people's bedrooms and hence a lot of noise. The room service was ok but the hotels were also very hot and the air conditioning wasn't working. We stayed in April which is a cold month so shudder to think about the room temperature in summer. Only thing this hotel has to offer is location. It is certainly not a 4 star. p.s.And especially don't stay if you booked with Abbey Travel in Ireland as you will then definitely get the small room! (I did see other rooms in this hotel that were a lot bigger).
A super hotel!
Just got back with my family from Barceleona-and 4 nites at the Cristal Palace. Excellent experience; from the marvelous upgrade they gave us at no extra cost to the wonderful breakfasts., and the very central location. The staff were professional and helpful (they even managed to get us the right sized taxi for all of our luggage, when we left for the airport..which was greatly appreciated as we had been taking 2 taxis up till then.=an expensive situation) I recommend this hotel and believe it deserves all five stars!
Marvellous
We've stayed 4 nights, super service in room 911 for those who like to catch some sun after walking around in a beautiful city. A big terrace, very quiet room, everything like it should be in a 4* hotel. We'll be going back....
