Barcelona is generally a very cosmopolitan and tolerant city regarding nationalities, religion, complexion and sexual orientation. Regarding the last point, I would like to present you this very special hotel in Barcelona:

In the district "Eixample", also known as "Gayxample", the very modern and gay-friendly Barcelona Hotel Axel is located. The 3-star hotel is equipped in a very comfortable and chic way in order to ensure its guests the maximum of comfort and well-being.
One can find anything, what has to be included in order to ensure a pleasant stay in Barcelona: Swimming-pool, a bar on the roof-terrace ("Skybar"), Chill-Out-room, sauna, hamam, conference room and much more.
Not only the Axel hotel itself, but also the location has a lot to offer: One can find plenty of bars, restaurants, shops as well as like-minded-people around there. Moreover, the famous street "Las Ramblas" is only 800m away from the Hotel Axel.
This Barcelona hotel is generally very popular and well-known, especially in the national and international gay-scene.

The Temple Expiatori de la Sagrada Família ("La Sagrada Familia") is Gaudis's still incomplete creation which is situated in Barcelona's district "Eixample". The church is under construction for more than 100 years (since 1882) and is expected to be completed in the year 2026.
The Sagrada Familia is considered as the master-piece work of the famous Catalan architect Antoni Gaudi (1852 - 1962) and is the number-one attraction of Barcelona with thousands of visitors from all around the world every day.
The church meant everything for Gaudi and he obviously lived for this object in order to become perfect. Unfortunately, the work undertaken on Sagrada Familia doesn't follow exactly the plans of Gaudi, as the plans were destroyed during the war.
The Sagrada Familia is nowadays adapted to the modern and proper style of the artists who are working on it.
Some of Barcelona's habitants are of the opinion that, "once the Sagrada Familia is finally completed, it will for sure collapse!" - We will see...
If you want to spend your stay in a great holiday apartment in Barcelona just beside the grandious Sagrada Familia, or if you rather prefer staying in a nice, economical hotel in Barcelona, but also close to the Sagrada Familia, you won't regret your choice. Wake up and see the Sagrada Familia from the accomodation every morning will make you feel good!

The best way to begin the quest for a flat is to stay in one of the widespread Barcelona apartments or Barcelona hotels. From there on you have the chance to look at all the available flat (usually shared ones) in and around Barcelona.

Rooms within a flat in the town are usually not bigger than 9m² and yes you do have to pay nearly 400€ for this which is very normal in Barcelona. Furthermore due to the high prices of flats in the town many older couples or singles offer parts of their apartments for rent so do not be shocked by that and do not immediately sort those ones out of your list of possible apartments.
