Barcelona is a beautiful city. It has a cosmopolitan feel, an innate eye for design applied to everyday living (visit the Boqueria market for an excellent example of this applied to the arrangement of fruit and veg), and the atmosphere is friendly and approachable. 

These qualities are captured by our favourite hotel in town, a small boutique bed&breakfast called the5rooms. If you are coming to Barcelona, you should keep it in mind. And if you’re wondering what to do when in town, we recommend Urban Junkies to help you discover what is going on.
