Staying in Barcelona: Family accommodation

Choosing what area of Barcelona to stay in for your holiday or vacation and selecting the best accommodation type can make things sometimes confusing and overwhelming. If you also have a family to think about, this can make things even more complex. So looking at the accommodation types and your choice in Barcelona:

Hotels: If you are staying for 1-3 days then a hotel simply might be your best bet. A hotel in a reasonable area and standard and you will be easily all set for your short stay. With a family room you will have enough space for the short stay and since only for a few days, eating out or in the hotel restaurant should be okay. A price aggregator such as www.activehotels.com can be a good starting point.

Barcelona apartments
Holiday and vacation apartments: For stays which are longer than 3 days and if you are as a family or large groups, a holiday rentals in Gava could well be your best bet. A short-term rental apartments normally means a lot more space and self catering facilities - with a kitchen included. For anyone with kids, this can mean being able to feed them the foods they actually like and the chance to save on food costs with several mouths to feed. If you do not ant to cook then you still of course have the option to eat out.

Camping: In the city of Barcelona itself, there are not really any great camping options. If you love camping though and do not mind to go outside of the city, there are numerous camping areas and these include the likes of Camping Tres Estrellas in Gavá.
