Hi, we would love some recommendations for several things re Barcelona. We are going there on Sept 28 for 9 days and have not had time to plan our activities. I've always gotten great recs from this group! Would love tips/recs on the following:
We are staying at Abba Rambla but heard it may not be the best area. Most hotels I want to stay at are booked. Any ideas for hotels? For one couple. (Our kid is doing a training camp at the FCBarcelona training area so we don't want to go outside Barc.
Any towns or lovely places we can take a train to (or a guided tour) for day trips outside of Barcelona?
Any favorite restaurants?
Any favorite shops? Esp jewelry and shoe/handbag/leather shops. Or Spanish crafts. Markets?
Activities that may be off the beaten path?
And any tips in general, like transportation (taxis? buses?)
thanks in advance! Kathy
