Barcelona cheap hotels

Barcelona located between the sea and the mountain, has found a balance formidable: a foot in the traditional things and the other in the vanguardismo. Barcelona has the reputation of being the most cosmopolitan city and modern of the vanguardism in Spain and it has renewed for the Olympic Games of 1992.

Barcelona is a very tempting city. Once you get there, you are immediately conquered by the large terraces in the sun, the beaches and the hills covered with vegetation which seem to overhang over the city.

Markets with colourful stalls, tapas bars, bullfight … Here, all contributes to create an environment full of entertainment.

After 1992, the Mediterranean atmosphere is stronger than ever. For the Olympic Games, the four kilometres of littoral were emphasized. Very modern districts like the Olympic Port were born. The city is open to the sea.

Dominating Barcelona, the large statue of Christopher Columbus makes us think of the time of the big discoveries. Barcelona was then a great commercial power. The Generalitat Palace is one of the sites of that flourishing time. While strolling in the old part of the city, you will discover the richness of Barcelona’s Romanesque and Gothic inheritance. It is very impressive the number of churches, big or small, chapels and convents.
