 We discovered when we walked around town that we were visiting Barcelona during a week long festival with free musical performances and parades and other events every day I didn t realize it when we booked I was quite surprised that the staff never mentioned this when we checked in or subsequently to let us know of the events we might want to attend 
 Loved the location and our Executive room with two windows one overlooking the plaza behind the hotel Gorgeous renovation of an old building with real character The staff was polite very professional and helpful in recommending restaurants
