“This is the best way to see Barcelona! Best of all, a new bus stop had been added only a couple of months ago across the road from our hotel in the Diagonal Mar area, so this was ideal for us. The two routes (red and blue) take you all over the centre & outskirts of Barcelona. We bought a 48hr ticket as we were there for 4 nights, and we used it to capacity. It was very good value for money & even better, when we were sitting upstairs on the open top part, as soon as raindrops started to fall, the driver activated the roof to close automatically…”

They said they would but when I got there, they did not wait. I was on the phone with several people and one person and the other person did not keep their word. In addition, I was not…”
