As one would expect from a major European city, and one that attracts many, many visitors, Barcelona has plenty of hotels to choose from. Being a money conscious (mean) traveller, I was looking for something cheap but also not too far from the centre as I was not going to be there long and didn?t want to travel from the outskirts of town. After some research we plumped for the City Urquinaona and, wanting to save more money, booked directly using the hotel?s website rather than through the hostel booking site where we?d first found the hotel. We paid a small deposit and stated roughly what time we?d be arriving. In return we received two e-mails; one was an automatic confirmation, the other a personal message from a staff member confirming the booking and that our arrival time was OK ( we were taking an evening flight to Girona and from ...
Advantages: Clean, comfortable, reasonable location, excellent value Disadvantages: Erratic standard of service, need to take care in tiny kitchen
People who regularly read my travel reviews will surely know that I am not a package holiday type of person. I am, however, a cheap holiday type of person, willing to abandon my lofty principles for a good price.

What was so remarkable was that the combined cost of three nights accommodation and flights was only very slightly more than the cost of flights only. Internet reviews painted most of the hotels as the sort of dump you wouldn?t house your worst enemy in but we took a chance with Aparthotel Strand 115 in the resort of Sliema which is directly across the water from the Maltese capital, Valletta (the water taxi docks nearby and gets you to Valletta in less than three ...
Advantages: A beautiful setting with some amazing animals Disadvantages: Is perhaps overshadowed by other attractions
Whilst in Barcelona earlier this year we were looking for somewhere to visit that hadn't been on my tourist's agenda on my previous visits. Having spent a morning at the aquarium in the port are we headed for the Zoo. Located in the middle of the City it is well signposted in every direction and features as one of the main stops on all of the sightseeing tour buses routes. There are a couple of car parks located near to all of the entrances and again this is all well signposted from the city's main access routes.
Over the last couple of years we've visited a few Zoos and Aquariums and it would be fair to say that Barcelona is one of the biggest Zoos. Like many Zoos these days they are signed up to the World Zoo conservation strategy and are committed to breeding programs for endangered species. Having opened for the first time in ...
