Travel Barcelona

[gracekelly]

Granada is almost 700 km from Barcelona so not possible for a day trip.
Girona is a nice town and close to Barcelona.

Sorry! I forgot that we went there from another location in Spain. It was a while ago.

We're staying for one night in Barcelona post cruise. Can anyone recommend a great, but not too expensive restaurant? Preferably Spanish, but open to other things.

I'll be surprised if you don't absolutely love it! It's one of the most interesting cities I've ever been to and unlike anywhere else in Spain. Have a great time!

My boyfriend and I are going to Spain June 29- July 11. We are going to Barcelona, Madrid, and Pamplona.
I'm from California so I'm used to a hot Summer. I checked the weather and it says it only gets to a high of 77 degrees F. I'm wondering if it does get hotter because in that type of temperature I'm cold so I won't plan on bringing a lot of summer clothes.

Spain is a large country and the climate north to south will vary a lot. Much warmer in the south. I'd pack at least a couple of outfits for warm weather and maybe a sweater or stole to cover your shoulders. (which you'll need if you want to tour any of the cathedrals anyway due to their dress codes).

I'm not really a city girl AT ALL but I liked Barcelona, but didn't love it. So as far as cities go, that's a compliment. My favourite bit was Montjuic. I always love the quiet havens within cities the most.

I can recommend Casa Camper for a hotel. Fantastic boutique hotel in a great location with impeccable service.

I'm going to Barcelona for a week next month. Would it be worth it to take the 1 hour trip to La Roca Village? I'm hoping to get a good deal on a men's Prada nylon messenger in black.
