Cristina’s house is absolutely amazing !! Everything from the little personal touches of the fantastic teas and coffees, to ice cold glasses and fresh water in the fridge, to the amazing view of the Sagrada Familia from your bed at night. Christina’s house had everything we needed to feel right at home and relaxed after sight-seeing all day. We are big walkers so we pretty much walked our way around the city. We did purchase metro passes on the last day so we could travel around faster to see everything we didn’t get a chance to see in the first 3 days. The Gaudi 4D experience is definitely worth seeing before going to the park. I recommend doing it in the morning before the big crowds come after lunch and late afternoon. The gothic quarter was a short 25-30 minute walk away and the architecture and churches were beautiful. The area the apartment is in, is very safe and quiet and we were lucky that the weather was quite warm so we could go for a night stroll after dinner. Cristina also gave us a fantastic folder she had made which gave easy instructions on how to use public transport and where the supermarkets and restaurants were located. All very close to the house which was brilliant. Barcelona has so much to see and do that we will definitely be back to explore the city some more ! Thank you Cristina for allowing us to stay in your lovely home and for being such a wonderful host to us !!
