Where to Start,,,, Inspite of it was a short vacation to Barcelona, but Manel managed from day one of my arrival to make it full and not to miss any of the beautiful city sites without visiting, from the beginning he contacted me few days about arrival to ask me about the timing and to advice me about how to get to the apartment and so, then when i arrived he was waiting for me downstairs, and took me to the flat, i can say the welcome package was so nice,,, a bottle of finest spanish wine, along with water and juice, then explain for me the way around the flat.
The apartment is great and exactly as the pictures, even more bigger than i expected, so clean and tidy, everything is new and in order, nothing is missing in this wonderful place, you can actually feel like home in his apartment.
The neighborhood was more than I expected, you can find almost everything in there, from fruits and vegetables shops to restaurants and cafes, bars, to bakeries and groceries shops, to butchers, everything you have in mind will be few meters away from the apartment. The malls and shopping centers are few minutes away, a plus point in my opinion the neighborhood is alive from 7 in the morning till midnight. Another plus point the neighbors in the building are so nice and welcoming, am an early bird person so i met few neighbors on my way out or in and they all greet you with a smile.
The only thing that i regret is that my vacation was only 3 days, but as I promise Manel, next year, I'm gonna triple this period, it is not enough to stay for few days.
Thank you Manel for everything, for having me in your place, and for being there always on the phone whenever i need anything , for finding me the right stores for my nephew items, you're just perfect, you made me feel like I have a true friend in Barcelona.
