Condes de Barcelona Hotel at Passeig de Gracia 73

Barcelona hotels are really scarce in Barcelona Photoblog, simply because it is difficult for me to take good pictures of some buildings that are normally boring, at least from the outside. Nevertheless, considering that spring and Easter holidays are around the corner I have decided to show some well known hotels that might give visitors a hint or at least serve as an appetizer before booking a room in our city. The fact that I pick up these hotels does not mean I emphasize on any of them. They all caught my attention in a certain way and are 4 star hotels after all so they might be good choices for you when searching for accommodation in our city. In any case I will insert a link to their site if available.

Here goes the first one: Condes de Barcelona Hotel. What is special about this hotel? The location of course, Passeig de Gracia 73-75. It is a beautiful modernist building facing La Pedrera or Casa Mila by Gaudi. The rest you can read by yourselves on their site above. Considering the area I am sure the price must be something to take into account but hey, who knows?.

Yamaha Backseat: Riding in Barcelona

As I promised yesterday here is the backseat of a Yamaha motorcycle, probably a Road Star, with a detail of a skull ornament. Not that my blog had suddenly settled for the motor business but it is not the first time I notice groups of bikers riding along Barcelona showing off their state of the art equipment, so I thought you might like to see some. Here is a list with all Yamaha models from 1970 on.

For Yamaha motorcycle fans or any other brand follower and why not, for motor illiterates like me I would like to showcase this detail of a chrome eagle front fender ornament on a Yamaha motorbike I spotted at Montjuic mountain, right in front of Miramar hotel. I thought it was a Harley, ignorant me! Tomorrow, the back seat.
