Barcelona is one of the largest tourist destinations not only in Europe, but in the world. For a comfortable alternative to hotels, consider choosing short-term apartment rentals in Barcelona that constitute a successful and secure market in Europe.
Rental apartments in Barcelona cost less than hotel rooms of comparable sizes, and yet offer you a real home where you would love to come back after a day out in Barcelona.
You get all the advantages of independent living and working in a rental apartment: you may choose to cook in a fully-equipped kitchen, you may entertain guests in the living room, you have the privacy of your own bedroom. Would you have all that in a hotel? More and more travellers prefer to rent an apartment in Barcelona for these reasons.
If you frequently travel with family or friends, you know how difficult it may be to book adjacent spacious rooms in a hotel. 1-, 2- or 3-bedroom apartments in Barcelona are easy to find. What is more, you pay per apartment, not per guest, which allows you to cut rental costs considerably, and spend quality time together.
Barcelona is a city you would not want to leave and where you would love to come back, but if you are set on more exploring, we also offer apartment, cottage and villa short-term and long-term rentals all over Europe and North America!

Bars in Eixample

COLMADO

Carrer de Provença 236, Eixample
Colmado is a wine bar at the corner of Provenza and Enric Granados, an establishment that receives a lot of traffic from the two hotels located just across the street and is, accordingly, usually busy. It features a great selection of wines by glass, which is especially handy when you want to have just a taste of that Priorat or try a wine from an unknown region. Prices by glass vary accordingly. Colmado also serves tapas and small bites, commonly referred to in Spain as algo para picar, and has a full bar stocked with liquor to suit every taste. Colmado is a friendly noisy place great for a weekend aperitif or an after-dinner glass of wine in Eixample.

Pub Fiction

Carrer de Casanova 96, Eixample
Pub Fiction is a small Italian restaurant that doubles as a bar at night (or rather a bar that doubles as a restaurant during the day). It is hidden on a mostly residential street in Eixample, which means that it has to compete with at least half a dozen similar small establishments within a minute's walk away. Pub Fiction (yes, the logo above the entrance has cartoon versions of John Travolta and Samuel L. Jackson on it) is tiny: with several tables in front, a small bar and slightly cozier seating in the back, the place can fit no more than 29 people at a time. So what exactly makes it worth your while? For one, they have great drinking specials every night, the most impressive one being the Wednesday offer of three mojitos for 10€ (normal-sized glasses, good cocktail version). Also, the bartender is friendlier than your average local bar owner, and makes you feel welcome regardless of your language skills. Plus, the playlist is impressively not mainstream: you will mainly hear British new wave, some post punk and some classic hits, all on the comfortable volume that allows for normal conversations, not just back and forth shouting.
