Barcelona - Laundry - self service
by globe_trekker
If you are in Barcelona, and if you :
- don't want to fly home in a stinky, smelly clothes
- don't want to spend 7-10 euro for a piece in a hotel
- don't know where to drop your clothes to wash
- hate to hang your underwear, socks on the string in the bathroom
then bring your clothes to this location. It is self-service. The location is very close to Sagrada Familia ( around 4 blocks). The place called Wash'n Dry. It locates on the Provenca ( corner of Provenca and Bailen). Metro Verdaguer, line 4. The hour is : 7am - 22pm. If i remembered correctly, it closes on sunday.
I just happened to walk by on my visit of Sagrada Familia.
Architecture
by tini58de
We thoroughly enjoyed the architecture of Barcelona: there is the very old architecture in the Barri Gòtic, the modernistic houses of Gaudi and lots of wonderful Art Deco and Jugendstil houses along the Paseig Gracia. Just strolling around was such a pleasure, that made our stay extra enjoyable!

Ordinary churches
by Kuznetsov_Sergey
Many details of the houses located in this area, will draw your attention: lattices on balconies, ornaments on walls, lanterns, door handles. Pay attention to unusual and very successful lay-out of crossroads. Angular houses have the oblique corners, therefore space of the square considerably increases. Quite often it is possible to see monuments on the squares. The architecture of ordinary churches draws attention with the singularity as well.
