Bed and Breakfast Description

The proprietor is a Spanish artist and art collector. He studied art at La Llotja, the same school Picasso attended. A native of Barcelona, he is an excellent resource for information. He's also more than happy to give guided tours of his city. Walk the Gothic area and he will point out where Christopher Columbus met with the King and Queen of Spain.

Our bed and breakfast has four bedrooms and one suite, 3 bathrooms, a media and living room, and a large kitchen for everyone's use. There are hard wood floors with oriental rugs, beautiful furniture with in laid Spanish designs. Adorning the walls are oil paintings, prints, pottery and carvings. Some artwork is for sale.

Barcino 147 is located downtown in L'Eixample: a central district of Barcelona. Our bed and breakfast is ideally situated near "Avinguda Diagonal" and "Paseo de Gracia", two of the most visited avenues in this Spanish city. There you will find "La Pedrera," a unique and exquisite house designed by Gaudi. Paseo de Gracia runs into Placa De Catalunya, a large square with grand monuments throughout.

Continue on and you will run into Las Ramblas, the most famous walking street in Barcelona. The street is tiled by the famous Barcelona artist, Miro and has one of the city's oldest markets. Wander off the Ramblas to the Gotic area, the very colorful section of Barcelona. Here you'll discover the city's largest cathedral.
