Hotel Medium Abalon - Barcelona, Spain     

Hotel Abalon is located in the surroundings of the Sagrada Familia, the most famous building of Barcelona, masterpiece of Antoni Gaudì. An enormous cathedral which will be finished on 2050.
Two minutes walking from the hotel our guests may find the Hospital de Sant Pau, which offers an impressive facade of Domènech i Montaner, symbol of Catalan Modernism.
The Parc Güell can be easily reached. A dragon, a lot of rock pillars, a coloured and terraced area where have a breathtaking overview of Barcelona… these are some of the reasons to recommend this visit.
Other interesting places close to the Hotel Abalon are:
· Jean Nouvel’s building: Torre Agbar
· Mercado de los Encantes: a very typical and popular market;
· Laberinto de Horta: a neoclassical park where everybody can lost himself in a gorgeous environment.
After a day visiting the neighbourhood or the other famous places of Barcelona (Plaça Catalunya, 10 minutes far by metro; Port Olimpic, Montjuic or the Camp Nou, 15 minutes by metro) we usually suggest a dinner at the Restaurant El Vendrell, surely the best value for money restaurant in our zone. It is not necessary go to the Port to taste an extraordinary Paella..
Finally our guests may spend a couple of hours at the Michael Collins Pub, just in front of the Sagrada Familia. Please consider that it is widely considered the “Irish bar of Barcelona”!!
