Catalonia Barcelona Plaza prints its parking price, which most of the eighteen don't. Parking is €27 (about US$30) a day on site, the rooftop has a pool and The Clock Terrace, and the Simultáneo Gastrobar runs 24 hours — about 3.2 road miles from the Moll Adossat by our routing.
Its spot works for flyers too. The Aerobús and the 46 bus both run from Plaça Espanya to the airport.
Breakfast is at the gastrobar, price not printed. One dog or cat under 20 kg comes on request for €25 (about US$30) a night.
Book it if you're arriving by car or late flight, and ask whether the €27 rate runs while you're at sea.
Book it if
- You're driving and want €27 parking
- You want food at any hour
- Your cat or small dog is coming
Look elsewhere if
- You want the old town on your doorstep.
- You want breakfast prices published.
- You want the shortest ride to the ship.
