So you just finished watching Vicky Christina Barcelona and was beguiled by the sights and sounds of the city, you couldn’t erase the dream of a grand vacation there. But as grand as you want it to be, your budget wouldn’t allow you to stay at 5-star hotels. Well, your best option would be to go for cheap hotels in Barcelona Spain with amenities and facilities that give you your money’s worth.
With a history that can be traced as early as the 2nd century when Romans first colonized the area, Barcelona boasts of centuries-old architecture and rich Catalan culture.
Barcelona owes its magnificent structural designs to world-renowned Catalan architect Antoni Gaudi. A key personality during the Modernisme (Catalan Modernism) movement, Gaudi designed, among others, Park Güell and the Sagrada Familia whose construction is still ongoing since 1881. Some architectural masterpieces have been named as UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Despite the pressures of urbanization, the city was serious in preserving Barri Gòtic (Gothic Quarter). You might be surprised that even cheap hotels in Barcelona Spain are designed in consonance with the city’s thrust to conserve Gothic architecture.
Apart from a fervent passion for architectural art, the city also reeks of a strong passion for football. FC Barcelona has amassed twenty La Liga titles and most recently in 2009, they became the first football club ever to complete a sextuple, winning all six tournaments within a single season or year, namely the La Liga, Copa del Rey, Champions League, Spanish Super Cup, UEFA Super Cup and the FIFA Club World Cup. You would not want to miss on witnessing their amazing talents and the football fanaticism upfront. If you’re staying at cheap hotels in Barcelona Spain, you will be able to have an allowance in your budget for tickets to see the game live at Camp Nou.
Since Barcelona is facing the Mediterranean Sea, you would expect a long stretch of pristine beaches in its coastline. Touted as the “Number 1 Beach City in the World” by National Geographic, the city is a favorite destination of beach bums and nature lovers alike. Inevitably, idle times will strike while you’re at cheap hotels in Barcelona Spain. When that happens, you can always select from any of its 8 white-sand beaches and make your vacation as grand as you want it to be.
