A Long Weekend in Barcelona
Basic Barcelona Info
Where to Stay
There are a lot of great areas you could choose in Barcelona. Personally, I find the Gothic Quarter and El Born area to be the most lively and fun area to stay. They are the areas with the charming streets you want to walk around and shop, the little alleys and cute places to sit and sip a drink, and the action you're looking for. While it is nice to be near the Sagrada Familia to view the church, I believe the other areas are the better location to stay.
On my last trip we stayed in a really nice airbnb as I was on a girls trip with 6 women. This place was perfect for a girl group. It would also be perfect for 2 couples. Or 3 couples if one couple really didn't mind having a smaller room. The terrace of this place was incredible and the location was perfect. It was right off the Ramblas and in easy walking distance to nearly anything we wanted to do.
If you're looking for a hotel option, my husband and I stayed at a great hotel in a similar area.
