Lovely Cafe also serving very nice breakfast and other food. Don't miss the small terrace upstairs. They also have free WIFI there. What I always like is their fresh flowers or plants on the main table on the ground floor. If I could marry a Cafe I'd marry Federal!!! And if you happen to be in the street, Career Parlament, there are many more lovely cafes, bars, restaurants! That's why I live here myself in this totally vibrant street :)

This is a really great upmarket restaurant for paella! It is about 15 minutes walking from the apartment in the area Poble Sec. And if you go to Poble Sec you might as well stroll down Career Blai where you will find lots of tapas bars.

Lovely atmosphere, delicious food and friendly & fast service. Week day menu from 15.80 Euros. I recommend the Thai Banana dish which is a banana muffin with ice-cream - simply amazing! My dietician thinks this is not a good idea but once a year? That's what I have told her….

Huge nightclub! Sometimes there are live bands in the evening and later on it's a club. At other times such as at special bank holidays it can be a 12 hour non-stop club. I recommend to check their website for daily events.

I love to go to the W Hotel for a little cocktail at their wet deck (and I really mean 'little' because they are quite strong ups!) and enjoy the view over the beach and the sea. However, that is not possible during the day over the summer months. Understandably, they give preference to their guests. BUT you can do so from 8pm even during the summer months. Just be aware that a dress code applies. Check their website :)

Getting Around
Sant Antoni station
Very nearest Metro station to the apartment.
Public transportation in Barcelona is very cheap compared to other cities like London or New York. You can buy, for example, a metro ticket called T10 for about 9.90€ giving you 10 single trips. And what's great about it is that you can simply share the ticket plus you can use it for the buses too except for the Blue Aerobus taking you to the airport. Of course, it depends on how many days you are staying etc.
