Hotel Parallel Barcelona C/ Poeta Cabanyes, 5 Online Booking

Close to all main attractions of the city and a really great location to explore Montjuic, the Harbour and enjoy some lively entertainment.

Plaza de Espanya is the second most important square in the city and leads to the Catelonian Museum of Art. From here you can take the escalator up to Montjuic - the Mount of the Jews - this is where you will find the Spanish Village Complex - paying tribute to all the different styles of village life in Spain, strewn with artisan pieces, shoe makers, jewellers and cafe bars where you can relax for a leisurely lunch and cool drink. The Olympic Stadium and Museum sit on the mount and there is a fairground to delight all the family. Spectacular views across the city and sea. In the evenings enjoy the fountain displays accompanied by colour and music that take place at the foot of the hillside.

The Port area has had extensive improvement since the Olympics in 92. The Olympic Village where you can enjoy a good Fish Dinner, golden sandy beaches where you can relax and soak up the sunshine or explore the Barceloneta complex and exhibition centres.

A city steeped in history and filled with musuems, galleries, restaurants, bars, clubs and theatres to entertain and enthral you.
