Staying Home - What's on TV

javierestrada.jpgTired from a whole day at work? Too much shopping? If you decide to stay in your Barcelona Hotel or your Barcelona Apartment and not go out at night, switch on the TV. Switching it on and watching the following show is particularly funny if you like Latin-American music and/or understand Spanish. The TV-show "Al pie de la letra" airs almost every day at 21:45 on Antena 3. About ten candidates get the chance to win money. How it is done? A band starts singing a popsong or oldie, then stops and the candidate has to sing the next line of the song correctly. And the game goes on. Watch it, it's funny. Also the host, Javier Estrada, makes the show worth watching. Sing and laugh along in your Barcelona Hotel room or your Barcelona Apartment.

Cruising to Barcelona

port bcn.jpgYes! Not only can you access the city via car, train and by foot. You can also get to Barcelona by boat or cruise ship, respectively. Barcelona has become one of the favorite starting and end points of numerous cruises through the Mediterranean Sea. Cruise offers for the Mediterranean Sea range from short seven-day trips to months out on Sea. Depending on which countries and cities you would like to visit, you can choose the ideal cruise itinerary for you.

Choosing Barcelona as a starting point has several advantages. First, it is easily accessible since it has two airports - one where all major airlines fly into, the other for low-budget airlines. Second, it is the ideal starting point for cruises along the most beautiful Spanish coasts, but also for cruises to the East, along the French and Italian coasts. Third, you get to enjoy the first days in Barcelona before going aboard by discovering the most interesting tourist attractions, relaxing at the beach or one of the many parks and taste the delicious seafood you find in every restaurant along the beach. Staying in an apartment in Barcelona allows you to be more flexible and enjoy Barcelona more authentically than any other way. Moreover, you can decide for yourself whether you want to stay in a quiet beach apartment in Barceloneta or with your friends in a luxurious apartment in Villa Olympica, or even right in the center of the nightlife in an apartment in El Raval.

Whichever you choose to do, Barcelona will most certainly be the perfect starting point for your Mediterranean Cruise!
