Hello Everyone,

Just wondering if anyone's been to Catalonia Aragon hotel. I know it's too late to change hotels, we've booked the place for the last week of May, but just so we know what to expect. Can anyone suggest a nice restaurant around the area? are there any grocery stores around where we can snacks for when we visit the city center. Pls. help.

Thanks in advance

The hotel is on Carrer d'Aragó near Plaça de las Glories. It is a bit out of the city center, but near some metro stations and probably bus routes. Since it is away from the center, I don't know that area and can't suggest any things around there. If there are some other areas you might want to center yourself in, I might be able to suggest somethings.

Yes it's relatively away from the city center, but near to my place so I can advice you :))))

The area is OK, a residential area with lots of small shops and local restaurants around. And you'll be walking distance to the Sagrada Familia

I can't recommend any nice restaurants nearby as I only used some basic places to have a quick and cheap "menu del dia", so nothing to remember

For groceries, you'll find a lot of them and supermarkets around, but I'd recommend you to visit the market at El Clot. You'll see a genuine local market with lots of good stuff. There is a pastry shop just in front that sells pastries to die for! (watch the calories....)

You can walk along carrer de Rogent that is a pedestrian street, very nice for shopping. Less expensive that the city centre, and with still with the feeling of a Catalan town

Happy travels!

Thank you so much...we'll be there soon, leaving for Paris today then off to Barcelona.
