"Not only is the Hi1898 Spa an incredible way to relax, disconnect and enjoy some R & R, but it's located in one of the most beautiful hotels in the city. Situated directly on La Rambla, you can't get more central than this. The Spa is in the old storage cellar of the Philippines Tobacco Company and the architecture helps to provide for a truly peaceful atmosphere."

"Hotel 1898 manages to stay calm and comfortable despite the steady ruckus outside on Las Ramblas, the city's touristy center.

"Tucked deep in the historic Gothic Quarter is the swish Catalonia Magdalenes, in which sleek contemporary interiors are matched by some equally swanky facilities. With a spacious hot tub, steam room and massage cabin, the low-lit spa is somewhere you can easily lose yourself for an hour or so. When you’re ready to return to the real world, why not ease yourself in on the sunny rooftop terrace, complete with glass-sided plunge pool and cityscape views?"

"If a digital arts center was going to pop up anywhere in Barcelona, you’d bet your tapas fund on the district of Poblenou—the Catalan capital’s East London-like ‘hood, where once crumbling factories spawn start-ups, art studios, and museums like the Museu Can Framis. From the outside, IDEAL’s boxy exterior shouts movie theatre. And it was—for 67 years."

"Barcelona has a lot of well-known museums, with a lot of well-known names, in a lot of well-known parts of town. Nau Bostik is absolutely none of those—which is exactly why we love it. Take the metro to La Sagrera, walk 10 minutes through a residential district that makes you wonder if you've gotten lost, and look for a bold-colored striped mural on the side of a factory."

"Bypass the lines at the nearby Picasso museum and stop in at the El Born Cultural Center for a unique look at Catalan history.
