Barcelona has seven beaches, totalling 4.5 km (2.8 mi) of coastline. Barcelona Sights and MuseumsThe Barri Gótic is the centre of the old city of Barcelona. Many of the buildings date from Medieval times. Fundació Joan Miró: is a museum of modern art honoring Joan Miró and located on Montjuc (Barcelona). The building housing the museum is itself a notable example of modern design drawing from regional traditions. Catalan modernisme architecture (often known as Art Nouveau in the rest of Europe), left an important legacy in Barcelona. A great number of these builidings are World Heritage Sites. Especially remarkable is the work of architect Antoni Gaudí, which can be seen throughout the city: Park Güell: is a garden complex with architectural elements situated on the hill of el Carmel in the Grácia district of Barcelona. It was designed by the Catalan architect Antoni Gaudí and built in the years 1900 to 1914. It is part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site "Works of Antoni Gaudí".

Reviewed by Sarah on Nov 02 . Mellow was a great surprise. Mellow was a great surprise. It's not close to city center, although, you have a bus stop just right in front of the door that takes you into the main attractions. The staff is very kind and helpfull, they provide us a map and let us know about the places that we needed to visit. Very clean and with great colours. The kitchen is open 24hs and they have a beautiful terrace with one of the best views of the city. What a great experience...

Reviewed by Julie Hughes on Sep 28 . I've had a great time. I've had a great time over there in a rather familiar environment. The staff was very nice and helpful at all times. They actually cared about me. Next to the staff there were many people with a different background, who supported me, once I was having some difficult times. All in all it is to be said, that there is no cheaper hostel with such a good service, an equiped kitchen and clean facilities. Give it a try, once you come to BCN :) Rating: Price Range: 18 $
