The lovely home of Carlos and his family was a perfect starting base to explore Barcelona and all of its areas. El Raval, the neighbourhood where we stayed with Carlos, is a very convenient district to find everything you need to relax. Nice little shops, e.g. in C. de Ferlandina, delicious food bars and restaurants (not very expensive) and cute little breakfast spots. Everything is within walking distance. You can also rent a bike at the corner of the street or go to a metro stop nearby. Some spots we enjoyed in the area: the MACBA, the local bar 'Komo en Kasa' and Bar Moritz. Carlos himself has given us a welcoming feeling and had many local hints for us if we seeked for advice. Thank you for sharing your home with us, for your helping hand and to make our stay pleasant and comfortable! And now it's time to enjoy your own holiday, you've earned it!
