Sunny Barcelona

We arrived safely in sunny Barcelona, Spain but the waking up at 5 AM really wiped us out. We had to wait to check into the hotel as check in was 2 and it was only 10:30 when we arrived. So we sat on the terrace for awhile in the warm sunshine which was a welcome change from cold and wet Paris.



Built in the 19th century as a bourgeois palace, the Granvia hotel first opened its doors to guests in 1935. Today, its rooms still feature original 19th century furnishings and décor, which lend it elegance, class and distinction.

We decided finally to grab some lunch a few doors down and went we got back we were able to get into our room. We decided it was siesta time and took naps.

After resting we decided to have a light meal in the Grand Salon. It's not a restaruant but they order food from next door and you can eat on the terrace or in the salon. This salon is not as grand as the one we posted yesterday but it is still very nice. We're off to bed early as we want to explore the city tomorrow.
