| The popular antique market |
Hotel Barcelona Catedral is located, as its name suggests, in front of Barcelona Cathderal (which, contrary to popular belief, is not the Sagrada Familia!). The cathedral square is very picturesque and the building itself is a beautiful gothic structure. The interior is worth a visit, for its ornate details and stunning chapels.
On Thursdays the square plays host to an antique market at its centre. This is a great place to rummage for various antique offerings - from jewellery to old clocks and toys. The prices of what is on offer vary greatly, meaning that there should be something for everybody.
The hotel is also very close to the distinctive Santa Caterina food market. You will recognise it by its distinctive wavy and colourful roof. Inside there lurks some great food stalls. It is also the home of the Cuines Santa Caterina- a restaurant serving food prepared using the fresh ingredients from the market. It has an interesting design, with LED lights displaying the menu and canteen style wooden seating. The menu is imaginative and the food is of the highest quality.
The hotel is a 15 minute walk from the harbour and beach area. It is also a 5-minute walk from the Plaza Catalunya, at the top of the Ramblas. Above Plaza Catalunya is the Passeig de Gracia, where you can enjoy a spot of window shopping, as this is where Barcelona's major designer shops can be found.
The Ramblas is where you will also find all of your necessary general amenities. These include a supermarket, pharmacies, banks and internet cafes.
