Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 2003
Pleased to meet you! Rita is American and John is English. Rita has spent 20 years in the hotel business worldwide. John is an international art consultant. We have lived in Catalonia for over twenty years. We want to help you enjoy this wonderful city by making you feel at home.
Why the Owner Chose Barcelona
We both visited Barcelona before we met and had an instant love affair with the city and its people. We wanted to buy an apartment which we could use to explore and experience the sights, sounds and aromas that make Barcelona such a great place to visit. There is no place so emblematic than Barcelona's Gothic Quarter and we chose an apartment that gives us the comfort of home within walking distance to all the sights in the historic part of the city.
The Unique Benefits of this Apartment
We love strolling over to the famous Ramblas and visiting the incredible La Boqueria market which recently celebrated its 150th anniversary. Unlike any other market in Europe. Some of our favorite restaurants are just minutes away by foot or taxi. We love walking along the boardwalk on the Barceloneta beach at sunset.
