On my second visit to Barcelona I decided to do something different: I decided to write this edition of around the world review, minute by minute, as much as my phone battery allows it. I wanted to describe every aspect of the experience without forgetting any details.
Last night, i will travel across the land searching far and wide leaving Beirut i will travel across the land searching sixt car rental germany far and wide to Barcelona , I was stopped at the airport i will travel across the land searching far and wide by many persons, starting from the driver, sixt car rental germany to the security officers than the duty free salesmen asking sixt car rental germany me: what are you going to do in Barcelona? They lost yesterday . Yes, unfortunately, the Barca team, and after losing with Chelsea last week, and ending a 2-2 game yesterday is out of the UEFA competition.
Anyway, lets keep sports apart and dive into this city. This is my second time in Barcelona, first time was by sea and now by air, discovering two access doors which I loved alike. sixt car rental germany Everyone is cool, smooth and running fast. You don't feel the restrictions and the many rules other capitals i will travel across the land searching sixt car rental germany far and wide have. I grabbed one of the yellow and black taxis and was at the hotel in less than 10 minutes sixt car rental germany as he was driving like a Formula 1 driver. They have an issue with driving around the city but anyway they do it very professionally.
This time, I am staying at the Hesperia hotel and convention center . One of the highest buildings sixt car rental germany in the city, the Hesperia is a trendy hotel managed by the local NH group of hotels. I was given a room on the 21 st floor, overlooking all of the Barcelona's monuments. What a chance! i will travel across the land searching far and wide From the room, I have a view on the Olympic city, the Gaudi's Sagrada Familia cathedral, the city's suburbs, the shipping port and the surrounding mountains. sixt car rental germany Every aspect of the hotel is perfect sixt car rental germany from the technology implemented, to the room amenities, i will travel across the land searching far and wide the free Internet, their Michelin starred restaurant i will travel across the land searching far and wide and more. The best thing is that for the first time ever, I see rooms like this: You open your hotel room, and reach the walking closet and the bathroom. The rooms' door comes after. So, coming directly from the airport, you can stop for a shower before going cleaner into the room.
Didn't have time to try EVO, their award winning restaurant, but can say that it should be great as it is on the 29 th floor with an awesome 360degrees view, and that the averall food experience I had during my stay was very good.
Taking a taxi from the hotel, I asked him to drop me at the Placa De Catalunya , the heart of the city. There, you shop at the famous Corte Ingles sixt car rental germany -the ABC mall of Spain- or walk through the main pedestrian street, The Rambla or be wiser and ride the city tour buses discovering sixt car rental germany all important spots to know without forgetting any detail.
In the city of music, sports and fun, the city tour bus is divided into three different trajectories covering i will travel across the land searching far and wide the four corners of the Gaudi s town. Here you breath Gaudi, eat Gaudi, think Gaudi. Gaudi s art is everywhere so you have to like it in a way or another. Jumping into the blue bus, I toured the north part of Barcelona passing in front of many important touristic sixt car rental germany destinations sixt car rental germany like the Passage de gracia sixt car rental germany where modernist houses are concentrated designed by Gaudi, the Egypt museum, the FCB stadium-the biggest in europe, the Sagrada Familia, the palace gardens, the Tibidabo mountain and the universities district.
This tour took already i will travel across the land searching far and wide two hours; it was time to grab a bite. Walking along the famous Rambla I felt like stopping at Mikel Etxea Restaurant . A restaurant serving local specialities part of the Hotel Oriente. A sidewalk cafe, one of this places sixt car rental germany where you eat on the street i will travel across the land searching far and wide with everyone watching you dig into your plate. i will travel across the land searching sixt car rental germany far and wide I ordered sixt car rental germany the seafood Paella: a local specialty, sixt car rental germany with a draft beer who turned to be a 1 liter huge cup that took me an hour to finish. It was neither a fine dining lunch nor was served by friendly waiters as the language is a gap but the Paella was simply delicious. " Paella is a Valencian rice dish that originated in its modern form in the mid-19th century near lake Albufera a lagoon in Valencia, on the east coast of Spain. Many non-Spaniards view paella as Spain s national dish, but most Spaniards consider it to be a regional Valencian dish. Valencians, in turn, regard i will travel across the land searching far and wide paella as one of their identifying i will travel across the land searching far and wide symbols" sixt car rental germany : A ten over ten. An aldente cooked rice with a mix of lobsters, shrimps and mussels makes you want to eat more and more.
After lunch I decided to visit the famous fish, meat and vegetables market place: a piece of art! A market of colors pumping sixt car rental germany with life. As much I describe it, you won t understand the feeling, maybe the pictures will. Merchants selling their best produces, displayed artistically. Wines, cheese, fruits, vegetables, meat, pork and chicken are a la carte.
Now was time to move to the red tour: the red tour might be more interesting for some as it travels along the cost, the harbor, the cable car, the Placa d Espanya, the museum i will travel sixt car rental germany across the land searching far and wide de Catalunya and many others important things that are a must-see.
On my next day, and after finishing the duties I had, I met an old friend of mine from Saudi Arabia and decided to rent a convertible car since the weather was nice. We drove around the city for a while before stopping i will travel across the land searching far and wide at The Placa De Catalunya as there were many things we didn't discover yet.
That night we stopped to have dinner at a new place we discovered by mistake but that appeared to be fantastic. "Woki", the organic market is an organic shop, restaurant, sushi place, dessert and fresh fruits haven. It's a total solution nicely built to cater for customers seeking piece and healthy food. The menu is printed on a news journal, and that was issue#1.
As the night was getting to its end very fast and the parking closes its doors at midnight, we had to move fast. We walked threw the Placa to the old town. A very old town reminding me of Bruges and Prague. An old city with pedestrian narrow streets interconnected and all reaching the famous Placa Reial: Plaça Reial (In SpanishPlaza sixt car rental germany Real, meaning i will travel across the land searching far and wide Royal Plaza ) is a square in the Barri Gotic of Barcelona. It lies next to La Rambla and constitutes a well-known touristic attraction, especially at night. On the plaza are a large number i will travel across the land searching far and wide of restaurants and some of the city s most famous nightclubs including Sidecar, Jamboree or Karma. It is also known for its many outdoor venues and is a popular meeting place during the summer and the annual La Merce festival in September, when open air concerts take place, and during other celebrations such as New Year's eve often being very crowded.
Third and final day and it was time to discover the luxurious aspect of Barcelona. Rambla De Mare, Marina Port Vell or the Marina sixt car rental germany Village. Reaching the Marina village we parked at the Arts Hotel : A blissful retreat, cultural sixt car rental germany i will travel across the land searching far and wide hub, meeting space and fine dining destination i will travel across the land searching far and wide rolled into one. A place where exceptional service comes as standard, just a few minutes from the city center. There you can play at the Gran Casino of Barcelona, walk along the beaches or stop at one of the many restaurants for more local cuisine discoveries. Choosing the Barnabier restaurant we asked for some seafood i will travel across the land searching far and wide that we enjoyed a lot. A local place, where local customers attend, offering delicious local specialties.
To end that journey, we had to pass by the famous Barcelona football team stadium, and take couple sixt car rental germany of pictures on the stadium's sixt car rental germany grass. The tour is very interesting as it takes you into the last hundred years of the club, their victories, sixt car rental germany the interactive area, songs, music, changing room and open air stadium.
As I thought that the journey was coming to an end, and o the way to the airport we stopped by the Placa Espania where the musical sixt car rental germany i will travel across the land searching far and wide colored fountain show plays by the hour. It's a simple fairytale. sixt car rental germany Thousands sixt car rental germany of tourists gather around the fountain to enjoy latest tunes played along a water and light show.
