First stop in Spain - Barcelona. After a 24 hr flight all we wanted was a friendly face and our apartment to live up to expectations - which it did. Immediately we found ourselves friends with Ali who was there to greet us and we felt completely immersed In Spanish culture when we first opened the door. The apartment is really lovely, clean, bright and has a lovely feel. There was a bowl of fruit, milk and eggs in the refrigerator and some muffins to have with the coffee. The apartment is right opposite the best restaurant in all Spain - TICKETS - but book ahead if you can. Thanks Ali & Argus for a wonderful stay.
