Thanks for the info!  We’ve had to rebook a cruise from Barcelona twice because of Covid but feel confident we’ll sail in May ‘22.   We have been booked at Hotel Curious in the past and may rebook there again.  It appears to be a good location.  Any feedback on it?

We've started/ended in Barcelona three times.  We still haven't seen everything.  However, each trip we do go to Sagrada Familia.

I really enjoyed Barcelona!  We took a day tour with a company and also visited Sagrada Familia.  I literally was awe struck when I stepped inside. One of the most beautiful things I have ever seen.  I would definitely go back again!

Highly recommend - Hotel Continental (free buffet and some food & drinks 24/7), Hotel 1898 (great rooftop pool, restaurant and lounge), The Arts Hotel - upscale but on the beach.

Best restaurant is Les Quinze Nits

Great HOHO.

Suggest getting "skip the lines" on most attractions - tickets at Viator.

 

Note - Not sure if the above have changed because of Covid - Going there next year to see for myself.

 

Barcelona is by far my favorite European city.  If you can, spend a few days there.
