Hello;
My wife and I will be visiting Barcelona over six nights in April of next year.
We are looking into staying in the Gracia & Sant Antoni neighborhoods.
But these neighborhoods are not covered in Rick Steves' Spain guidebook (September 2022 edition).
Can anyone please provide some recommendations for lodging as well as eating, sights, etc.?
Thank you.
Hi Jeff,
We just returned after our first-ever visit there. By design, we started with a week rental in atmospheric Born, right beside SM del mar church. Then as planned, we moved onto a better rental with 'Aspasios Apartments' in Gracia. The latter was right beside Libertat market, a fantastic location for self-caterers. Pubilla restaurant was steps away as was the far more expensive splurge Botofumeiro, a seafood specialist that I took my lobster-lover wife to on her special birthday.
Can't help with St Antoni but heard good things about it.
Further down the road we will post one of our extravaganza Trip Reports about this (imagery, tips, music and humor), plus the subsequent parts that we visited on both sides of the Pyrenees.
I am done. the Pyrennial travelers
