Barcelona and the Mediteranean

We flew Jet2.com to Barcelona from Birmingham for 2 days in the Innside Apolo hotel before starting a cruise. Smooth taxi  transfer to a lovely Melia group hotel on the  busy Parallel Ave.  We have a studio room on the top floor with balcony looking out over the city. Its nice and quiet with the double balcony doors closed. Coffee machine, music tower, Yoda dressing gowns and yoga mat, just a few of the facilities. After settling-inn we took a walk to the end of La Rambla where the landmark Columbus column is located by the harbour. (America's cup is here in 2024) We had a nice quiet dinner in the Terrace restaurant and an early night after a busy day.
