Barcelona and Toulouse

The toulousians often has the opportunity to go to Barcelona. By the freeway, some hours are sufficient to surrender in the fundamental catalane.
I often had the opportunity to go in this city, often to make the feast there. But I also like to be going to see the constructions of Gaudi there!

Las ramblas

The center town is lively with people visiting bars and restaurants. The imposing sight of the Gothic cathedral and the large square in front of it are just seconds away when you stay here.
Barcelona is the centre of Catalan culture. Away from the thriving bars and restaurants of the Ramblas, you will discover the shade of Plaza Real, the stunning twists and curves of Guidi's cathedral and the imaginative dream of his park. There is also an excellent Picasso museum. You will enjoy all of these city elements along with being among exuberant and warm Spaniards. At all times, you will be able to stroll down to the sea and walk along by its calming waves

Hotel Arts et la tour Mapfre

Barcelona is a great city for eating and drinking. All around the center you will find a fine selection of hotels and restaurants. They serve traditional Catalan dishes and a wide range of international food.

Certainly gaudi has left his mark in Barcelona.
