Visit MACBA

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.
