Before you set out on your holiday to Barcelona to enjoy this bustling city complete with architectural wonders and culture, you might want to check out this itinerary. I've done it twice and hope to try it again in the future. When you first arrive at the Barcelona Airport, 'El Prat', you should go to a great hotel at the Port Aventura theme park. You can also check out Europcar's special car rental rates for those people staying at Port Aventura. There are several four star hotels located at Port Aventura and they offer various package deals that combine hotel rooms, breakfast, as well as tickets to Port Aventura and the Caribe Aquatic Park. This water park is great for the whole family.

The Port Aventura Hotel is furnished and decorated in a classic Mediterranean colonial style. The El Paso Hotel uses a mix of Mexican and pre-Colombian d'cor for its unique look. Finally try the Caribe Port Hotel if you want to try out the largest white sand swimming pool in the world! Even if you tried to book a hotel in the heart of the city you couldn't get this kind of stay. The peak season is designated as 'A,' and during this time one night with two days in the park would be around 136 for a single room, 218 for a double room, and 68 Euros for a child. You can also arrange other offers for up to 4 people sharing a room including children. During the low season, the El Paso offers a rate that would end up being 84 Euros for a couple and 42 Euros for a child. You really can't beat those deals. You can relax totally at these hotels and enjoy the park.

I really broke the bank when I stayed at the Arts Hotel in Barcelona. For a great view of the port area I was assured that any double room, suite, or apartment would do. The incredible facilities and great staff helped perfect my experience. I had to try out the Goyescas restaurant and everything on the menu looked amazing. I tried out the house specialty and would definitely recommend it on your visit to Barcelona!

All along the Costa Brava and in the bustling city of Barcelona are some of the best hotels and restaurants one can find in the world. This past year was a special period of both international and national promotion of Catalan food and wine by the town hall and tourism bureau. I think any time is a great time to sample excellent finds from Barcelona. When you are there you can stop by Can Ravell or the Club del Gourmet to have a further sampling!
