What makes Barcelona so interesting to us?

By Luke Durden in Barcelona

Barcelona is so amazing that you just want to return again and again. You fall in love with it whenever you go. Barcelona is beautiful in summer and winter, but we recommend you to travel there in spring.

The sun shines perfectly. It’s not really hot and the university life stills active. There are fewer tourists and the squares and bars are full of locals and residents. Barcelona never sleeps, which is one of the charms of this Mediterranean city.

Its emblematic places are one of its main attractions, despite tourist agglomerations. One of them is Las Ramblas, a meeting point for all the people in Barcelona, where we can find some of the bests restaurants in the city, including traditional restaurants of authentic Catalan food.

If you are staying at Catalonia Ramblas Hotel, you will be just in the stroll in front plaza Grande. You can leave your room and easily reach and visit the stroll, buy some flowers and visit La Boqueria market calmly.

By Loren in Family holidays

You will need more than a weekend to discover this small island in the Mediterranean sea. If you have not decided where to go on your family holidays, the biggest island in the Balearic Islands is the perfect choice. Write down our recommendations and start dreaming of crystal water coves and olive groves fields. We will just focus on three places: Cala Ratjada;  Alcudia; and Playa de Muro, three of the most special places to enjoy with the family.

Cala Ratjada

If we are travelling with the family, there’s nothing better than a hotel of apartments near Cala Agulla, a beautiful unspoiled beach in Majorca with direct access to the town of Cala Ratjada with an old seafaring tradition. It also offers a wide range of activities for kids, vibrant nightlife for young people and quietness for adults.

Alcudia

Alcudia and its medieval fortress are both must-see places in this paradise island in the Mediterranean, specially in summer. You should also visit its beaches in Port Alcudia, with many bars, restaurants and trendy places with exclusive terraces by the sea, offering typical tapas and cocktails. There are surfing and diving schools, marinas where to practice sailing…Not to mention the family hotels in Alcudia, some of the best family hotels in Majorca with an excellent price-quality ratio.

 

Playa de Muro

Amazing natural beauty, as in the Natural Park of S’Albufera entering into the sea:  the biggest wetland in Majorca and one of the most recommended places for bird and insects lovers in Europe. Playa de Muro is one of the largest beaches in the island, where you can sunbathe after a swim in its crystal waters. It’s the perfect beach where to go with your children, due to the low water depth. You can enjoy kitesurfing areas, great beach clubs and chill outs hosting great parties until the early morning. The family hotels in Playa de Muro are the best in the north of Majorca.
