Thanks Gian for hosting us and making it a truly Catalonia experience. His place was a 40 min taxi ride from airport. Upon reaching, he gave us a thorough explanation during our check in and getting to know the where of and the what to do in Barcelona. His place is a 5 min walk to parallel metro station and there are also direct buses to beach, Montjuic and Camp Nou. Also, thanks for Gian’s recommendation of authentic paella at the Salamanca seafood restaurant. We had such great dining experience that we went back twice!
