Living and Travel
Eating out in Barcelona you should make the most of the city scenery by finding a nice restaurant with a terrace, then during the day you can sit and people watch and in the evenings it offers a cool spot to sit and eat. Although we generally say avoid Las Ramblas as it’s far too touristy it would be a shame to miss out on La Isabela Terrace restaurant with breathtaking 360º views over the whole city, spectacular even at night with all the bright city lights. Barcelona holiday apartments have all the facilities you need for a city break and can accommodate just 1 person or a large family. Choose to stay close to Gaudi's La Pedrera and then you can visit Brasil restaurant, a comfortable place to enjoy the views and taste typical Mediterranean dishes including Paellas and seafood. Roig Robi, located just off the Diagonal, has fresh fish and shellfish daily and uses beef from the Pyrenees, lamb from Esgueva and Ibérico pork from Huelva in their creative Catalan dishes. The garden terrace is a little sanctuary right in the centre of the city, perfect for warm summer days.
After a day of heavy rain the sun is shining down on Barcelona again. Its already end of October - but still warm enough to enjoy beautiful days like today having lunch on the terrace of a restaurant. Barcelona is famous for the many sunny squares and terraces, like the well known strip with restaurants and bars at the Port Olympic at the seaside. … [Read more...]
