Apartment : Sant Miquel St. Barceloneta Beach

Description :

Stay at the beach in the centre of Barcelona. A beautiful fully furnished frst floor apartment 5 minutes walk to the beach and 15 minutes walk to the Ramblas. In a renovated 1920s period building, this very sunny, comfortable apartment was totally renovated and beautifully re-decorated to a 4 star standard in May 2003. Fully furnished, with central heating & air-conditioning. The original Catalan architectural features such as beamed and bricked vaulted high ceilings have been retained. There is also a roof terrace. You can be assured of a pleasant and restful stay.

Located on the 1st floor (one up from street level), it has a fully equipped kitchen/dining room with balcony on the street, a living room with double sofa bed and balcony onto the street, a bedroom with wood French windows(double-pane glass) and double bed, and a brand new bathroom with tub and shower. 

Other amenities include: washer/dryer, television, clock radio, mobile telephone, central heating and air conditioning, double pane windows and parquet floors (the original Spanish tiles remain in the bedroom), sheets and towels, plates, pots and pans, ironing board and iron, hairdryer, duvets, pillows. 
There is an Internet Cafe around the corner, as well as the local branch of the Public Library.  Dry cleaners, pharmacies, and grocery stores abound nearby.
An ideal location right behind the beautiful Paseo Juan Borbon and the yacht harbor with its palm tree-lined promenade, 3 minutes walk to the beach  - and still only about a 10  minute walk to the Ramblas/Gothic Quarter and most major museums and galleries. The apartment is in a narrow, quiet street (Carrer Sant Miquel) in the district Barceloneta ("little Barcelona"), which is the old fishing quarter of Barcelona. Among the views from the two balconies are the yacht harbor ("Port Vell"), a glimpse of the open sea, and our local 18th century parish church. Beautiful sandy beaches, long beach and harbor promenades, some of the best seafood restaurants in the city (including an award-winning 100 year old little gem right across the street), bars and picturesque terraces. You can rent a bicycle around the corner and also check your e-mail, cycle down to a beach cafe to enjoy a great breakfast on a sunny sea facing terrace. Or make your own breakfast in the apartment and enjoy it on the balcony. The English Fastnet cafe & sports bar is a block away.  The Barceloneta Nautical Athletic Club, nearby, has a great free-weights and aerobics room, indoor and outdoor swimming pools, sauna,  restaurant,  and its own private beach.
Also possible, with all necessary equipment rentable nearby: Rollerblading, windsurfing & sailing. Easily reached on foot(or bicycle or rollerblades) :  The Olympic Village, with its "Icaria Multiplex Cinema"(movies in English) and many seaside restaurants and clubs and the Port  Olympic Yacht Harbor; the "Maremagnum" Entertainment Complex with its exclusive shops, restaurants, bars and nightclubs; Europe's largest Fish tank, the "Aquarium", and the 3-D cinema complex "Imax"; The beautiful Park Ciudadella (built, if we are not mistaken, by Napoleon); The Gothic Quarter and  the 11th century gothic Cathedral (within whose beautiful and hallowed walls can be found much of the history of Catalunya.); The Ramblas;  the  Medieval part of the city which contains many palacios and museums (The Picasso);  Place Real, with its very interesting and quite excellent restaurants, cafes and clubs. A bit of history can be found here: some bullet holes from the Spanish civil war  still remain in the walls.  You will also want to visit the ancient but trendy El Borne. This district of bohemian artists,  ancient churches, boutiques, galleries,  cafes, restaurants, jazz clubs and specialty shops also has the beautiful and ethereal 12th century  Basilica  Santa Maria del Mar.
Just beyond  the Ramblas you can  walk to Paseo de Gracia, the most elegant boulevard in all of Barcelona where you will find the choicest  shops and restaurants plus several of Gaudi's more elegant buildings.
