In the days before audience measurement, when some books were banned from official publishing and others would be only available on second-hand market at a price akin to 10% of a teacher's monthly salary, I heard the sentence quoted above read aloud on Polish Radio 3 and so my first experience of 'Master and Margarita' began.
I didn't know it was beginning of the second chapter. I didn't know that the action of the first one took place 1900 years later in Stalinist Moscow. Little I expected that the following ones will include Soviet literati world, broom-stick riding witches, great ball at Satan's and flying pigs. I was 13 years old and I was hooked. Of course, I didn't manage ...
Advantages: Beaches were lovely... Disadvantages: Everything I have listed as 'bad'
Barceló Margaritas
My boyfriend & I stayed here under half board (so breakfast & dinner were included but not lunch) for a week. It was a major emotional rollercoaster, of ups, downs and mediocrity I must admit.

And as one of the guys we were going with is at Uni, we needed to find something reasonable but cheap for the 4 nights we would be staying there. Well that's where the Hostal Lami comes in.

Booking & Pricing
***************
Obviously when we decided to go to Barcelona a couple of months ago we needed a decent place to stay so by chance having bought the flights through Opodo.co.uk there was a small advert for a hotel at just €38. That works out at roughly £25 a night, which when you consider hotels right in the centre were about €138 a night that ...
