Description Manzana Roja: Barcelona

If you want to be at the centre of all the action during your trip to Barcelona, then look no further than this wonderful apartment. Located just a short walk away from the Sagrada Familia, it's the perfect place to begin your adventures in the Catalonian capital.

Fans of minimalism will love the simple yet stylish interiors – think soft neutral tones with the occasional pop of red. Get comfy on the sofa with a glass of Rioja and plan your itinerary with your guests. And, when you get hungry, you can head into the kitchen and whip up some delicious dishes using fresh, local ingredients.

If you'd prefer someone else does the cooking, then you only need to step outside to find a range of traditional tapas bars and chic eateries to choose from. When it comes to sightseeing, your first stop will probably be the nearby Sagrada Familia, and Gaudi's Casa Mila is also only a stroll away. If you're craving some green space then walk over to Parc de la Ciutadella, and if you wander a little further you'll arrive at the sandy beach.
