San Valentín and Snow in Barcelona

What a better combination than snow and valentines day! There is no doubt that a bit of snow makes the event more romantic than a typical rainy February day.

Although there was not much of it and in some places it stayed no more than 0,5 seconds, snow in Barcelona is a rarity and thus its a memorable moment. Maybe next year there will be more? Or should we all move Valentines day to the beginning of January?

We hope you have a hot Valentines day!

Carnaval in Sitges

Like every year, Sitges dresses for this spectacular party.

This sunday, 14th of February, is the best day in Sitges: "la Rua de la Disbauxa" invades all the city with 50 coaches and over 3000 people dressed up in the best carneval outfit, assist in the city parade.

If you're around don't forget to go to Sitges, it's worthwhile!

BBB - Jardinets and BBB-Güell in Barcelone city trip

We had a visit a few month ago of Sarah, which work for a guide in France: "Barcelona city trip by Petit Futé".
She has written this review in the French Guide about our Bed and Breakfast Jardinets and Güell:

BBB GÜELL

Entre 45 et 65€ la chambre, petit déjeneur inclus.
Tenu par les memes propiétaires que le BBB Jardinets, cet établissement se trouve à 5 minutes à pied du Parc Güell, dans un environnement calme et peu touristique. La décoration est adorable et il y a une charmante terrasse.

BBB JARDINETS

Chambre double de 35€ à 70€ avec salle de bains commune et petit déjeneur. situé dans la rue la plus animée du quartier de Gràcia, ce petit bed&breakfast propose cinq chambres décorées avec soin. Vous serez accueillis par un couple multiculturel: Carla, d'origine argentine, et son mari hollandais. À l'intérieur, que du neuf! Le B&B a été ouvert en 2009, et les chambres ont toutes leur identité: la rose, la bleue, la verte, etc. Un excellent rapport qualité/prix à deux pas du Passeig de Gracia.

Bus to Barcelona Airport

Barcelona has two busses that connect fast and easy with the Airport. The Barcelona Airport ("El Pratt") is located at 20km south of the city. As this airport has 2 separate terminals, there are two busses. Terminal T1 is recently opened and very modern while T2 was built for the Olympic Games of 1992.

You'll find these busses easily: The are bright-blue and stop directly outside their corresponding terminal. Both connect directly to the city center with only 3 stops: The first at Plaza España, the second at Plaza Universidad and finally at Plaza Cataluya just in front of the Corte Ingles.

The price for a one-way ticket is € 4,25 though you can also buy a two-way ticket for € 7,30. Please note that the two-way ticket is valid for no more than 8 days.

The busses leave every 10 minutes between 05:30 AM and 01:00 AM (just after midnight)
