Well, just bought my plane tickets and now finishing booking my Europe trip for May....any suggestions of places to stay or the best neighbourhood to stay on a budget?
Just a place that I can leave my stuff while I spend the day walking and touring......preferably close to the sights......while looking at the net I found these two.....does anyone know anything about them?

This is a map highlighting the different places which you can visit while in Barcelona eg the Port, The Guell Park, the Montjuic Mountain (which has wonderful views of the port and the city), the Olympic Village, and the Zoo (where you can see Snowflake, the only white guerilla in the world).
You must feast your eyes on the oldest church in Barcelona. Built in the 1400's, the gothic style Eglesia Catedral de la Santa Creu, is quite the show piece. Also, it has some great steps out front to rest on after hours of sight seeing!
Each part of Spain has different and distinctive typical dishes. You can find most of them in Barcelona, both in specialized regional restaurants, and in regular or touristy places. Many tourists ask for some dishes as gazpacho, paella, etc thinking these are typical from here, when they are not.
When you are in Catalonia, it seems more logical trying some really traditional food from the area.
Catalan dishes you may try are:
- esqueixada (salad of preserved cod with tomato, bell peppers and olives)
- escalivada (roasted vegetables) usually served as side dish
- fricandó amb moixernons (veal meat with mushrooms)
- suquet de peix (traditional fishermen’s fish stew)
- escudella (traditional soup made with meat and vegetables, that you eat later as main dish... not a summer thing!!)
- cargols (snails)... yes these are very popular here. I can't eat them indeed. I tried, but I can't ;o)
- crema catalana (similar to creme brulee) for dessert
You can find these at many restaurants
But what I would say is more different at Catalan cuisine from other dishes from Spain, is the use of some sweet and sour combinations, as ànec amb peres (duck with pears) or pollastre amb prunes i pinyons (chicken with dried plums and pinenuts).
Other very traditional Catalan dishes that my friends from other parts of Spain find amusing (if not plain disgusting) are the ones that mix meat and seafood, like mandonguilles amb sepia (meatballs with sauce and pieces of cuttlefish) or pollastre amb llamàntol (chicken with lobster).
And, of course, do not forget to accompany all this with pa amb tomàquet (tomato bread): Slices of country bread, slightly toasted, rubbed with special small tomatoes and seasoned with olive oil, garlic and salt to taste. In traditional places they will serve you the bread and the other elements so you make it at your own taste.
Bon profit!
'Sure, you can get the mountain train to the top, but believe me, it's more fun walking up it' -that's what I told my mates as we stood outside the Mirablau bar, halfway up the Tibidabo. I won't write what they said to me, when, two hours later we eventually reached the top!
My grandson did buy the picture that they took of us at the entrance standing in sharks jaws. That was 7€s. He also bought a couple of things for his friends Their website says: "Located among the remains of a galleon, L’Aquàrium shops has a wide range of products adapted to all customers and seasons. A space where you will feel another member of the crew and stroll in search of your most sought-after treasure. There is music, reading, cuddly toys, bathing items, decoration, stationery, clothes, souvenirs, thematic products and anything you might need.
