Barcelona in the news!

You must have heard the exciting news about Barcelona. Reviews from New York Times, the Travel Channel and the ‘who’s who’ have all raved about this Mediterranean wonderland. Even Woody Allen has decided to make his next movie using the city of Gaudi’s birthplace as his backdrop...

So you would like to come for a visit? But when and where is the question I here most often. Barcelona has a temperate climate and enjoys over 300 days of sunshine a year – so you’re bound to find comfortable weather whenever you come. However, if you’re looking for optimal weather (and beach time!) than I would suggest anytime between April and October. Want to avoid the hoards? Than try planning a trip before or after August.

The city has numerous ‘Barrios’ – each with a distinct and human feel. Looking to be central and in the action, than search for apartments or hotels in the Barrio Gothic. This is Barcelona’s most famous district and steps from the famous Las Ramblas. Feeling a bit more bohemian – than go central and budget area of Raval or hit the Gracia district up town for a change of pace. However, my personal favorite when it comes to style, charm and location is the Borne area.

Nestled between the city’s main Parc Ciutadella, the beach and Barrio Gothic, the Borne offers numerous pedestrian-only streets dotted with dozens of cafes, shops and restaurants. A few years back, the neighborhood went under a huge revitalizing project yet it maintained its classic Catalan charm.
