2025 travel plans

[Flashback]

The metro is super easy and cheap to get around, too. I've stayed all over the city and can't say whether I enjoyed one more than the other to be honest.

I once booked (but only Mrs FB stayed as I had to leave early after the Spanish F1 GP to get back to London for a last minute meeting.....) Fernando, which was a really good location according to Mrs FB in the downtown area. Funky rooms too.
Calle Ferran 31, Barcelona, 08002, ES

Thanks Ron. That is very helpful. What areas would you recommend to stay. I have a few IHG points but not wedded to any hotel scheme in particular.

We also found taxis were cheap - didn't try Uber.
Stayed in Eixample, Hotel Catalonia Eixample 1864 and also on Ave Para-lell at Hotel Barcelona Universal, both easy walking distance to various points of interest - not Montjuic or Park Guell though, took the bus. Chose these hotels mostly for their rooftop pools as we were visiting in June-August @jumpjam
