I used 2/3 metro stops that were about 7 minutes walk from Ricardo's place. My feet were sore from my walking in Barcelona, so I ended up loading 10 rides onto my metro card. A smart investment because then i didnt hesitate to pop into the underground to zip from one area of town to the other. Ricardo's place is low key, and I brought dinner home one night and made soup the other for easy evenings. He even has a bathtub that I used to soak my tired feet, i think it helped a lot!
