Gracia is a village not to be missed in Barcelona and neither is Xavi's home.
The photos are only the start of what to expect when you stay at his home. He proved at all times to be a consummate host, communicative whenever needed and attentive to the needs of travellers.
He didn't need to contact me when he thought of a simpler and cheaper way to get to his home, but he did. He didn't need to leave the home complete with cold beer and a bottle of Cava in the fridge, but he did. He didn't need to assist me after midnight when my phone was stolen on the metro, but he did.
It's abundantly clear that Xavi cares for and lives in his home and I'm so glad he has chosen to share it with the world! Many thanks Xavi.
