Sagrada Família

 As I have recently arrived back from holiday I thought it would be  appropriate to write a post on Barcelona. My boyfriend and I chose to  visit Barcelona as we had heard so many good reviews of the city. We  loved that it was both a beach and a city - so it had plenty of things to  do.

 Our hotel - Gran hotel Torre Catalunya, made our trip even better as the  view from our bedroom window was exceptional - the window was  almost the size of the entire wall! The room was very clean and the  products in the bathroom were all Molton Brown - so, of course, we hid  these every day so that the cleaner would replace them.  The hotel also  had a spa pool, with Jacuzzi like jets to massage your feet and back!  Wearing the white, fluffy dressing gowns and slippers after a Molton  Brown infused shower almost made it impossible to leave the hotel and  explore the city.


If visiting Barcelona, I would highly recommend visiting the Magic Fountain. It is a dramatic fountain display with lights and music. There are hundreds of people there and the atmosphere is great. Another place that I would recommend is a bar called Ice Barcelona. The whole place is made of ice including the glasses that you drink out of! Be prepared though, it really is freezing!
