Constanza is a boutique belle that has stolen the heart of
many a visitor to Barcelona. Even smaller singles are made to feel special with
broad mirrors and strong colours (reds and yellows, with black furniture). Suites and
studios are further options. The terrace is a nice spot to relax for a while, looking
over the rooftops of L'Eixample.

port is good, many attractions are huddled fairly close together and children are generally
welcome in restaurants and cafes.
An initial stroll along La Rambla is full of potential distractions and wonders, from the
bird stands to the living statues and buskers. The
