This will be our second visit to Barcelona, first was November 2022. We are looking forward to enjoying the activities of the Festa, as well as other treats BCN has to offer. We stayed at Hotel GranVia in the Eixample on the last visit and enjoyed it, but wonder if anyone has other recommendations that might be good for summertime. We enjoy wandering the streets, taking in the architecture, gardens, museums and food. We are a fit, active couple in our 60's who like a comfortable, clean hotel, but don't need "fancy".
We recently stayed in the H10 Raco Del Pi Hotel. It's just off the Ramblas in a pedestrian old city neighborhood. Near Placa Catalunya. Great bars and restaurants nearby. Rooms were nice, and the breakfast was good. There are also small places nearby for breakfast. We walked almost everywhere from there.
