From this excellent location the colourful sights, sounds and smells of the city are all within easy reach. Head down to the Boqueria Market, with its beautiful stained glass entrance complete with the shield of Sant Jordi, the symbol of Barcelona. Calle Ferran is full of shops like Barcelona’s famous Custo and bars- there is a concentration of Irish bars on this street, so you’re just steps away from a pint and the football. For a more local favourite, try Schilling on Ferran- this charming bar with its high ceilings and checkered floor serves wine, coffee and snacks. Ferran is a major pedestrian street in the historic Gothic Quarter, and from here you can easily explore the narrow winding streets of this area. At night head just a couple streets down to Calle Quintana, just off Ferran, to the chic Q Bar- they have excellent cocktails, and a nightly special. A great ideally located apartment with cafés, bars, restaurants and boutiques, perfect for those looking to enjoy a comfortable stay and be at the heart of the action. < hide more details
