Travel Mezze - by khassandra

Discovering Barcelona, Spain

November 30th 2008 08:52
Barcelona has always fascinated me. It's beautiful attractions, historic origin, the culture, it's people, all of these are very interesting to explore.

Barcelona has many interesting and magnificent tourist attractions. Some of these are illustrated below:

Port Olimpic
Port Olìmpic or "Olympic Port" was built up for the 1992 Olympic Games. It now contains a fancy marina with some nice public sculptures, along with a number of posh bars and restaurants. The Hotel Arts Barcelona is visible at any point in the beach which is housed at it's twin towers.

Platja de Sant Sebastià
Barcelona's Platja de Sant Sebastià is the nearest beach to town which is close to the La Barceloneta neighbourhood. It is one of the best beaches in the city. From here you can find, palm trees, lifeguard services, children's plays areas, showers and disabled services.

L'Aquarium
This sealife aquarium is housed in an unusualy transparent building. It is one of Barcelona's most famous attractions and has a wide collection of marine life. It's collection includes sharks.

If you want to travel to Barcelona and want the best for your money, I suggest you visit Hotelsespanol. It is a Spanish site that provides access to last minute deals and pre booked discounts for this city. Very affordable and reasonable Barcelona Hoteles can be found at Hotelsespanol.


1898 Hotel Barcelona


La Rambla is an iconic and busy street in central Barcelona. It is popular with both tourists and locals alike. It is a 1.2 kilometer-long tree-lined pedestrian mall in the Barri Gòtic, it connects Plaça Catalunya in the center with the Christopher Columbus monument at Port Vell. In this area you can find street theatres, cafés and market stalls, it serves as the emotional hub of Barcelona.

La Rambla can be considered a series of shorter streets, each differently named, hence the plural forms Las Ramblas. From the Plaça de Catalunya toward the harbor, the street is successively the Rambla de Canaletes, the Rambla dels Estudis, the Rambla de Sant Josep, the Rambla dels Caputxins, and the Rambla de Santa Monica. Tourists can find Las Ramblas Hoteles if they want to stay overnight or even longer in this region. Source: Wikipedia.com

Hesperia Getafe Hotel Madrid


Madrid is the gateway to Spain. It is the capital and the largest city of the country. As the capital city, we can find here the seat of government, and residence of the Spanish monarch. Madrid is also the political center of Spain. In order to explore more what the city can offer, it is best to spend an overnight stay at a Spanish Hotel. Madrid Hoteles offer attractive packages and very affordable rates.
