10 best of barcelona

10 musts in when in Barcelona : 1. Sagrada Familia is the most visited monument in Barcelona, and one of the most famous symbols of the city. The construction began in 1901, one hundred years ago, but stopped because the architect, Antonio Gaudí got hit by a tram and died! They still didn't finish, so hurry up before they finish. 2. Wander around the Parc Güell is a classic and also a must, you could spend a whole day discovering new things and places and you´d never stop being amazed!

I, hostel

Hello, I am Garden house hostel . I was constructed in the beginning of the 1900:th century, and my floors are tiled with typical Catalan modernist patterns. I am from Barcelona , and I've been here all my life. From my terrace you have a view over Barcelona city and the whole Horta district, that's my neighborhood. Horta is famous for being a green and safe neighborhood, with a lot of parcs, such as Parc de Laberint d´Horta , Parc Central de Nou Barris and Parc del Turó de la Peira , but of course my garden is the coziest!! On my street you can also find small supermarkets with local products, the typical neighborhood bakery, bank La Caixa if you're running low on cash, and of course nothing is better then a cold beer at my rooftop! Further down the street, just a few minutes walk away along the leafy streets you find Plaza d´Eivissa , filled with bars, restaurants where you can find the typical Spanish tapas and the metro station Horta and L5 that will take you dir
