Thank you to our hosts Mireia and Ross .
You certainly did not disappoint . A great time had by all. .
If you want to experience local Barcelona then this is fab …. Location and local shops … perfect 👍
Local produce , local restaurants, local bars and local language …. We tried to speak Spanish ( badly ) but locals really appreciate… and that made for a fab experience …
We were also super close to the metro and train lines with a bus stop right outside :
But if like us you want to experience Barcelona on foot then this was amazing. We did a super 26,000 step (12mile) trek to sagrada familiar, park guell, cathedral , las Ramblas , gothic quarter …. Tiring but fab as we got to see every bit of it. .
Tourist , local , tourist , local we had the best of it all .
We were there for F1 and door to door was 1 and half hours
25 min R2 Nord and then a stomp to the circuit de Catalunya but with the crowds was amazing …
The flat is basic , but has everything
You need for city life .
They were the most helpful hosts I have had the pleasure of meeting.
They didn’t just want to give you keys and leave …. Ross was with us 45mins going through a map
Of Barcelona and highlighting bus routes , train routes , best tapas , best paella , best beach. Best of Barcelona …
We tried all of the recommendations given and … yep … spot on. Loved every single one …
But highly recommend the restaurant next door (left ) Fortalesa for dinner ( paella … yummy ) and La Marqui (right) for an amazing local lunch… it’s super busy but worth it (4 course for 12.95 euros ) .
All in all … a fabulous holiday , perfect location and wonderful hosts … what more could you want … 💖
