Plaza de Catalunya

This is the centre of the city, a large central park where people tend to hang around or just wanting to feed the pigeons. Today was a nice and sunny day for a change, the last two days have been mixed with light shower now and then in late afternoon and the evenings. Today being Easter Monday most shops are closed. But there were large crowds out in force to enjoy the sunshine.

Our hotel, called Hotel Regina, is just a minute walk from this park. After searching around the Internet, it seems to be quite a convenient hotel in terms of location. Overall hotels in Barcelona are quite expensive but can be a bit reasonable if one does not mind to go a bit further away from the centre. Everything else are quite cheap. For instance food are almost half the cost compare to Holland. A ride on the metro only cost 1.20 Euros.
