Advantages: Close to centre, clean room, great staff, near great shops, cheap and clean! Disadvantages: no view, alley way smells, people pee in alley way, noisy.
and everyday advice (they also have great maps there!)
The room was basic but nice and cool with aircon. It was big enough for 2 people. There is a TV but we didn't wish to use it (why watch telly when you are in Barcelona?!?!?!). There is a radio controlled by the light switches! The bath was in the living area with a huge shower curtain so the floor did not get wet. The bath is big enough for 2 ;-). The bathroom had a nice clean toilet, and bidet and the sink was in the main room and is huge!
Everything in the room was cleaned everyday. The toilet paper and towels were always stocked up. There is a wardbrobe which is big enouhg for 2 people, but there are minimal hangers. We took some and left them there! Also there are only 2 pillows on the bed so ask for more and you will get! The bed was so comfy it was unreal! I like hard beds (bad ...

€20 including two beers and a coffee for the two of us, but a selection of Tapas in the evening from an establishment on Las Ramblas cost over €70!

Flights and accomodation cost around £110 but the expensive nature of this particular city cost us another €300 or so (including nearly £50 worth of parking!). If you are on the cheap and don't mind finding your own breakfast, the Pension Miami may just fit your needs.
The Pension Miami is certainly not the worst budget hotel I have ever stayed in, but it does not match the outstanding value ...
Advantages: Joy & Humour! Disadvantages: Joy & Humour!
the painting and played around with each characters. There are over 20 of this theme.
I was astonished to find out that there is no bullfighting scene sketches. Since Picasso did some gesture etching on the bullfight in Spain, it must be here in Barcelona. But it is not.
I have a fantastic afternoon after being entertained by Picasso's work. I got inspired by his ceramic works. It seems he is a very positive and happy person. He draws what he wishes.
It is a good place for Picasso's fans to get to know more about this genius.
Bravo Bravo!
