Hotel ratings by criteria:
Spain is a good country, expensive and beautiful. But the rest was spoiled by the company Natalie Tours! Firstly, upon arrival, no one met us, at the airport in the window of their company, the girl told us that they did not have guides in Barcelona, ​ ​ they only work with the islands. We with a small child (1 year old) ourselves got to the hotel, the location of which in the catalogs of this stupid Natalie Tours is described as follows: located in the center of the Gothic quarter, etc. Nothing like this!! ! Around factories, factories, construction sites, opposite a car service! Terrible! The only reassurance is that everything is clean abroad, a similar area in Russia would be dirty and "smelling", there is no such thing here. To the beach in the same catalog it was written 200m. , in fact - 970m !!! , on foot somewhere min 30, by taxi min 10.
The hotel is good, but if you do not know English you will have a very hard time. Spaniards generally know English as their native language, there were no Russians at the hotel with us. Contingent: European pensioners or how we are parents with children.
The kitchen is not bad, but every day is the same.

The beach is normal, there are a lot of cafes around, an inexpensive bite to eat - up to 20 euros for two, and a tight meal of any dish in a bottle of wine can cost about 80 euros. Closer to the sea - seafood cuisine, in the city - pizzas, pastas, paella, baguettes, etc. In general, all drinks are expensive, ranging from water - 1 euro per 0.22 ml and ending with alcohol - from 15 euros to infinity.
Excursions: we went everywhere ourselves, where by taxi, where by metro. Sightseeing around the city on Bas-turistik, headphones with Russian translation, interesting and beautiful. Start your knowledge of Barcelona with this (bass tourist) and then you will understand where and how to go, what is interesting there, etc. There is nothing interesting in the aquarium, for those who love the underwater world and for children, and so we went through everything in 10 minutes and left without impressions.
The opening hours of shops and cafes are similar to Italians: they open no earlier than 10-11, close at 7-8 pm. On Sunday and Monday, many cafes and shops are closed.
Be careful with taxi drivers, some start to ride in circles or drive off for 20 km, and then bring them to the right place, and 15 euros on the counter. The longest distance to the airport, together with luggage we gave 27 euros. Tibidabu park, by the way, is not bad, but it’s better to go for the whole day, a very large area and a lot of attractions, here it is (at the very top) - 20 euros. And in the city: to the square, to the main attractions - 5.7, max - 12 euros.
In general, Spain is beautiful, we really like it!
And Natalie Tours should have their license taken away a long time ago, how many times they went through them, always some kind of disorder, all the time they treat tourists irresponsibly and are very deceiving. !!!!!
P. S. if you are offered to go to Andora, do not waste your money and time, everything is the same in NUMEROUS stores, the prices I assure you are not lower, max 2-3 euros cheaper.
