This recently renovated flat overlooks the Gran Via high street with beautiful views of the Montjuic palace. With such a commercial surrounding, this classy apartment has everything within a stones throw and major sights and attractions such as San Antonio’s market, Plazas Catalunya and España along with the Olympic zone are equally as near. The flat itself has all the usuals with two single rooms and a double all boasting the right sized beds. 
Security, central heating and air-conditioning come as standard (as does the Internet, which was a nice surprise) and the kitchen is fully equipped with a modern oven. By far the most attractive factor however, is the outside private terrace with the aforementioned sights. Renovated to a rural and simplistic feel, it provides a special and relaxed seating area for all members of the household. Simply put, a rustic home-cooked meal can be enjoyed in private freedom with views of some of Barcelona´s most treasured landmarks.
With so many things going on at once, and so many places to visit, Barcelona proves to be a wonderful attraction for all kinds of travelers and visitors. The city is nicely organized into two main halves wich are divided by the grand Avenida Diagonal. On the bottom half of the city, on the south-west corner of it, you will find the beautiful Montjuic area. To talk only a little about the greatness of this place, I will mention different aspects that make it the popular location that it is. So first off, we have a small glimpse of its history. I guess about some thousands of years ago, Iberic Celts settled there, which later became a Roman sacrificial terrain. Many many years later, we find the Palau Nacional. Standing at the end of the international exhibition, this building serves as the National Musuem of Catalan Art. It contains many Gothic, Roman, Renaissance and Baroque masterpieces. If you visit it, you will surely find that its beauty is not only represented by its exterior magnificence. Facing the neo-baroque building you have the magic fountain. Now if you want to know more about this clever idea of some of the city´s designers, you should check out one of our older blog posts for more information. Just know that it is truly a ´´magic´´ fountain.
Another place that I highly recommend, is the Poble Español. This remainder of part of the city in 1929 is just great. As a typical old village of winding streets and cool shops and bars. I´m very fond of this place. Then we have the Anlla Olimpica, which has many of the sports facilities that were used for the 1992 Olympics. The Olympic ring is really fascinating. It proves to be a really enjoyable place to go and spend the afternoon in. The Olympic Tower will be one of teh first things your eyes notice, as the tower dwarves everything else around it. The tower was built as the communications tower for the coverage of the Olympic Games. So I have already mentioned 4 great reasons to get over to Monjuic, but it is not over yet. You also have the Montjuic Gardens which take up all the space between and around these popular places. They are just great, relazing gardens to take a stroll in, or go for a run in the afternoon. And finally we have the oldest sight of Montjuic. The Castell de Montjuic, or Montjuic Castle, is a fortress from the 18th century. It was originally built for the city´s defenses, but now it is a military museum. The best way to reach the castle is to take the cable-lift which is found at the Parallel metro stop. The price for it is not that expensive at all, so fear not. With all these reasons to get on over there, I beg you to just consider Montjuic as a destination spot. The ideal thing would be to find an appartment or shared flat near it, and see it as many times as possible. With companies such as Barcelona-home.com, you should be able to find desireable accomodations for the holidays.
