    Barcelona, Silken Diagonal Hotel

    May 10, 2015 in Spain ⋅ ☀️ 23 °C

    The pre cruise hotel we stayed at was the Silken Diagonal and it was excellent, clean, friendly and very modern.
    The only thing I didn't like was that the bed was a bit hard, but everything else, especially the breakfast was top notch.
    We went for a walk in the afternoon and found a lovely little tapas bar called Lemoncello, where we had a drink.
    We ordered a couple of large beers for Maz and I and half a carafe of wine for Sue and Sheila, while we were chatting the chef sent across to us a small pizza for us to try, free of charge, which was a nice touch.
    The bill only came to €13 which for Barcelona we thought was excellent, so much so that we went back there in the evening for a meal and a few drinks.
    This time the owner sent across a round of shots free of charge.
    Well the girls didn't want them and Maz only wanted one, so as not to be rude I finished the other three, Needless to say I went straight to bed after the meal, not that I was drunk or anything!
    Just very tired, LMAO.
