We are getting closer to August, and you can still find some good lastminute offers for staying n Barcelona. You can find some available bargains in business hotels far from the touristy area of las ramblas . Business hotels are low season in August, so they do some 3×2 offers in order to swap their suitcase customers for sandals and shorts customers. Usually, on late July, it was difficult to find good prices, but this year, the economical crisis is making visitors to wait for a last minute offer.

Barcelona offers a summer of endless possibilities. First of all, you can go at any time of day or night to the beach to relax from the bustle of the city. The beaches are connected with the city by the yellow metro line or bus. Barcelona beaches are fairly good taking into account that we are in a city of two million inhabitants
During the day, you can visit the beautiful Sagrada Familia, stroll through the narrow streets of the Gothic quarter, or rambling around it’s most famous street; Las Ramblas.

When the sun goes down, you can enjoy the long and warm Barcelona nights. Start by taking a cold beer on the terrace of a bar, dine at any restaurant of the Gothic quarter, and going out in many bars and clubs you will find alongside las Ramblas.
