Destination Review - Barcelona
I went to Barcelona with my family last April and stayed in the Princess Hotel. The weather was not as warm as the summer months but the hotel was great and I can wait to go back. The Princess is about 10 minutes outside the main centre, I personally didn’t mind, given that the bus stop outside the hotel. On the plus side there were free drinks in the fridge, magnificent views from the room and a late night bar.
Barcelona is such a big place I think that where ever you stay you are going to have to travel a good bit to get to see all the sites anyway. There is a shopping centre around the corner, which was great for when my boyfriend went to see the Nu Camp – I spend the whole day shopping.
