January 14, 20242 yr Author Yes I already marked them on the map. Prblm: the closer they r to Thermas, the farther they r from main attractions to the northwest. There IS more to brcln than 3 afternoon hours of sexcapades..... (-:

January 14, 20242 yr Author Both of us r wrong. My main cluster is to the NE. But the direction isnt the issue. I mentioned attractions bcs for me proximity to Thermas isnt the only factor in choosing a hotel.

I mentioned attractions bcs for me proximity to Thermas isnt the only factor in choosing a hotel. So nothing at all is NW of Thermas. Earlier in this thread, I wrote that "a stay at an Axel hotel probably works best for those visitors who are too shy or afraid to venture very often to other parts of the city -- or even other parts of the Eixample."
January 18, 20242 yr Distance is relative. No matter where one stays 🫥, 🤷🏻♂️Sitges is going to be just as far as Madrid, Valencia, Andalucia, Galicia, and Gran Canaria. 😎 Besides, Eixample is pretty close to the main attractions for a first-timer. You know, those postcard or Instagram "I was here" pictures.

I mentioned attractions bcs for me proximity to Thermas isnt the only factor in choosing a hotel. All of the main tourist attractions are within a few metro stops or a few minutes in a cab from Thermas. I've walked between Thermas and the Ramblas in about 35 minutes. A little exercise will get your blood pumping from the fun to follow.

February 5, 20251 yr I was in Barcelona last summer and I stayed at two locations: Hotel Via Augusta and Hotel Catalonia Eixample 1864. Via Augusta was close to a metro stop and easy to get to Thermas, and was centrally located. Also had free breakfast which was nice. Catalonia Eixample was closer to the touristy parts and an easy walk to Paseig de Gracia and short taxi ride everywhere else.
