Barcelona apartments, Barcelona Hotels,

The luminous Museu d'Art Contemporani de Barcelona is located in Plaça dels Angels. Once inside, you go from the ground to the fourth floor up to a serie of swooping ramps which afford continous views of the plaça below and the sixteenth-century Convent dels Angels. The collection represents the main movements in contemporary art since 1945, mainly in Catalunya and Spain but with a good smattering of foreign artists as well. The pieces are shown in rotating exhibitions so you may catch works by Joan Miró, Antoni Tàpies..However, hotel rooms in Barcelona are among the most expensive in Spain and finding a vacancy can be very difficult out there, especially at Easter, in summer and around the time of any festivals or trade fairs. You are advised to biik in advance. You can also book on line your Barcelona apartment and find an accomodation in Barcelona in the city centre. You can also prefer to book a Barcelona hotel. While you are in the vicinity, it is worth looking around the small private galleries or having a drink in one of the fashionable new bars that have sprung up in the wake of MACBA. Adjoining it you have the Centre de Cultura Contemporània de Barcelona or CCCB, which hosts temporary art and city-related exhibitions.

Los Reyes Magos ? or the Three Kings are celebrated on the day of Epiphany the 6th of January.
In all Spanish-speaking countries there is the tradition that children write wish letters to the Magi. The night before Epiphany these wishes come true and the Magi bring gifts and sweets. This tradition can be compared to Santa Clause who brings presents in northern European countries. To thank the Magi children and their parents prepare drinks and food for the Kings and their camels.
In Barcelona the day of ?Los Reyes Magos? is already celebrated the night before. The night of 5th January the Kings arrive by boat to Barcelona where the Mayor first greets them. Afterwards there is a parade from the Park de la Ciutadella to the Olympic Stadium. The Kings throw candies and sweets to children standing along the way and admiring the show. In Gran Via there is also a special Fair taking place ? ?La Feria de los Reyes?. During two days children and their parents can visit the numerous stands selling sweets and toys. To find the way to the Gran Via by Metro just take a look at the Barcelona Metro Map.It is a further tradition to eat a special cake ?Roscón de Reyes?. This cake contains a small figure of a Magus. The person who has the figure in his cake is said to be lucky all the year.If you would like to spend your holidays during this time of the year and enjoy the special atmosphere of the Reyes Magos in Barcelona just book a Barcelona apartment or hotel.
