Barcelona

Barcelona, the capital of Catalonia, is a must-visit during your stay at Hotel Barcarola. The city is sometimes referred to as the capital of Spain due to its worldwide fame.

Barcelona's popularity continues to grow, partly thanks to the achievements of its football team. But aside from that, Barcelona itself is a stunning city. There are several iconic spots that you absolutely must check out!

La Ramblas and La Boqueria

One of these is the famous promenade called La Ramblas. It’s a large, unique green street filled with beautiful birds and flowers. At one end of the boulevard, you’ll find the harbor, and at the other end, the Plaça de Catalunya, known for its beautiful fountains and statues.
