Sorry to hiijack, but Im off to Barca in Jan for the first time too! Can anyone recommend a hotel that is central and not too pricey to stay in?
Learning Spanish so hoping by then that I'll be okay with the lingo! Eek!!

Hey mate, hope you have a good time while you're out there.

Im not sure about prices because i did'nt book it but I don't think that it is essential to stay in a central hotel because the tour busses are so good. You can get from the hotel to the centre quite easy so I would'nt worry too much about it if you plan to take the tour bus.

Maybe just try and get as central a hotel as you can afford but if it gets too pricey then rely on the tour busses

La Rambla was great but it's very touristy. We found out by asking at the hotel there is a place called Barnes (i think) which is where the locals go and its really nice in that area we got the best tapas at good prices there and theres some nice bars so i would recomend getting a taxi there at night was only 15 euros or so one way and our hotel was quite a way away from there.
