We had a great break in Barcelona. The apartment is in a nice, safe area, which enabled us to access the beaches within a 20 min walk, which pleased my teenage boys who wanted to play football on the beach as often as possible! We also walked to Sagrada Familia in about 30 mins, although the trams and buses run past frequently too. As a family we enjoy being able to self cater, and we had all the facilities we needed here to do that.
