We Said …
Where we lose - and find - ourselves in Barcelona
LODGING
Hotel Banys Orientals, inexpensive to moderate,
011-34-93-268-8460. This small, modern hotel is in our favorite
Barcelona neighborhood - El Born. It's in our favorite price range
too. We especially loved the free chilled bottles of water in the
room and the meals at the adjoining restaurant.
Hotel Constanza, moderate, 011-34-93-270-1910. Looking for
some urban solitude but don't want to be too far from shopping,
sights, and more? Consider the Constanza, a stylish spot with
bold-colored walls and white linens and situated on a shady
residential street in the Eixample district.
DINING
Formatgeria La Seu, inexpensive, 011-34-93-412-6548. When
you're not in the mood for a full meal, consider a wine-and-cheese
tasting at this popular cheese shop. The owner may hail from
Scotland, but she spent five years studying the local products and
sells only the best of the bunch.
