I went to Barcelona for a conference held in the convention center located within 20 minutes walk from this place.
Walking in one direction from the apt. was a calm area, unexpectedly charming, with old streets lined with fruit laden orange trees, and next to a small square in which are four very old and curiously shaped old trees.
And then turn the other direction to be on a large boulevard which once crossed on accesses the beach.
Even in December the beach was full of people walking, children playing. The weather was absolutely fantastic, sunny and mild.
Staying in this apartment made up for the long days spent at the conference...
Thanks!
