Barcelona ... be in this beautiful city puts you right from 'start in a good mood!
We arrived on a flight in the evening to 'Barcelo Hotel', where, after the chack - in, we are going in the room and we ordered a good club sandwich with french fries! We were very tired but if you'd like to take a walk, just around the 'hotel are numerous local, restaurants really good.
Among these you can find "Pans," a local chain specializing in sandwiches, but also offer salads, chips, coffee and more.
The last night we also stumbled into a fabulous and hilarious celebration of the neighborhood.
The hotel has rooms, suites and superior family, you can book overnight stay, overnight stay and breakfast or half board. In my case we have also taken advantage of the breakfast which was really good, you haveto go on the first floor where you can find a great buffet of exceptional dishes for every taste.
Prices range from 70 to 80 euros but there are many offers, so you can get in contact and request information about those at the time.
The site of hotel is:
http://www.barcelo.com/BarceloHotels/it-IT/Hotels/Spain/Barcelona/Sants/Home
This is a four star hotel located above the central train station and metro with direct connection to the airport.
For me this was a novelty, I had not ever get so near the station and is an exceptional comfort. With the subway you can get almost anywhere in town, tickets can be purchased only by electronic machines but these are really understandable and numerous, so there is almost never straight. The price is around 1.40 euros at journey.
First day after a walk along the Rambla we arrived at a shopping mall overlooking the sea and we settled down in a Starbucks for a cold drink.
Passeggiare per il centro della città è davvero stupendo soprattutto se sarete così fortunati da avere delle belle giornate soleggiate, tra una viuzza e l'altra troverete numerosi negozi spagnoli, tra cui per l' abbigliamento la Disegual, ma anche Zara con moltissime differenze rispetto all' Italia.
Walking through the center of the city is really beautiful especially if you are lucky enough to have nice sunny days, between a lane and the other you will find many Spanish shops, including for clothing "Disegual", but also Zara with great things.
It seems like walk in a open air museum because there are a lot of old buildings and churches.
A famous Spanish artist is Gaudi, whose architecture is greatly influenced Barcelona and you will see many buildings which rapresented Gaudi' Art.
This you can see below is also known as Casa Mila Pedrera (stone quarry) is the last project carried out in civil city, located on La Rambla is a monolithic bloc, the porous stone facade following the outline of streets and balconies are decorated with wrought iron balustrades.
Important monument is the Sagrada Familia in which Gaudi devoted the last part of his life, the yards were opened in 1883.
He had planned the construction of three facades but the only supplemented by architect was the one of "Nativity".
From the tower you can admire a splendid view of the city and just near there is a museum which shows the various stages of construction.
Caratteristica eccezionale della Rambla è la presenza di artisti di strada, ne potrete osservare di ogni tipo, soprattutto mimi, e ve li descriverei anche tutti ma vi si rovinerebbe la sorpresa, poichè le loro idee sono sempre geniali.
Wonderful characteristic of the Rambla is the presence of street artists, they can watch all kinds, especially mimes, and I describe them all but you also ruin the surprise, because their ideas are always brilliant.
We will come back just to see them.
You must to go in the market near "La Rambla" ,"The Boqueria market", where you can also enjoy the wonderful fresh fruit smoothies to any taste. There are also several restaurants around.
Walking towards the sea you're going to a beautiful port which was built with a movable bridge for pedestrians, so when a boat has to go out, people are stopped and the bridge opens. A good idea may be to sit on benches and enjoy a bit of peace and the splendid landscape.
Barcelona is rich of museums, it's rich of history and art.
Frederic Mares Museum is located in Placa de Sant lu, the phone number is (34) 932 563 500 and website is www.museumares.bcn.cat
Unfortunately it is temporarily closed but you can look for information on the site.
Offers a wide variety of sculptures as well as a special exhibition of port-bouquets.
After we stopped to eat something, always next to the museum, where we gladly tasted a Spanish dish.
And 'situated at a point where the view is very picturesque and pleasant, if you want to watch the site, it is:
Of course you can not forget to go see the exhibition of Salvador Dali, it is located in Museum Real Circulo Artistico Barcelona, where you can admire the works of great artist.
A big shopping center typically Spanish is "El Corte Inglés", a department store where you can find almost everything, from clothes to jewelry to special kitchen utensils.
We take the subway and then we arrived at the National Museum of Catalan Art, from the very beautiful 'outside the building but above the breathtaking view, you can arrived also thanks comfortable escalators.
Always accompanied by the music of street performers, you enter this museum full of works, the ticket is valid for a few days.
In 2008 it was possible to admire displays of Romanesque, Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque, modern, drawings, prints, posters and numismatics. A 'unique experience that you can not miss.
