The whole purpose of this short break to Sitges (just south of Barcelona) was to meet up with friends who hadn't recently visited Barcelona before. Over one too many sherbets last New Years Eve, Jan offered to look out for a good hotel deal, let them know and we could meet up for a bit of a laugh.Having only spent one night at La Nina we had to pack again because we moved onto the Melia Sitges this afternoon. However not before we'd checked out the train times to Barcelona and investigated a tour bus. The new hotel is a bit of a monster and was obviously dumping rooms, out of season, which is why Jan got such a good deal. The reason we had to stay at La Nina last night was because they were full, so they had obviously done a good job at shifting the rooms.
Straight after lunch we drove for 20 minutes up to El Prat airport (Barcelona) to meet the incoming party. (They were obviously thinking of you when they named the airport - Ed). Because i get complaints about constantly talking about food, I won't tell you that we ate at Fragata on the sea front and had a very good meal. That's it, that's all I'm going to say!

We might be a bit late here, but if you have a few days in Barcelona there's a couple of restaurants that we like: "MADRID-BARCELONA" which is and informal, authentic catalan restaurant, on Aragó street (just off Passeig de Gracia). You can't book and it is really popular so you should go early. downside: menu in catalan!!!
The other one, a tapas restaurant is Txapela, and it is on 8 Passeig de Gracia itself. A series of cold and hot tapas served with Rioja or sangría. Nice atmosphere and if you sit outside it is really nice.
Have a lovely trip!!!
