As I'm sure some of you will be aware, I was in Barcelona for a long weekend to celebrate my 21st birthday, well one of the most important things, after booking your flights is finding a place to stay. 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.

When we booked we probably left it a little late and could only get a studio apartment for the 4 of us so we were a bit concerned about the size. When we ...
Advantages: Great weather, Great rides. Disadvantages: Queing, bit pricy, aching legs.
I've just returned from a break in Salou, Spain and during my stay there visited this theme park. It came highly recommended but did it live up to my high expectations ?
