Holidays in Barcelona (Spain): tours from Almaty

went to barcelona for work, but took my wife with me — flew in a couple of days earlier to walk around, the hotel was near the rambla, the room was small but with a balcony overlooking the street, noisy until two in the morning, wife was fine with it and me too (slept like a log after the flight). The manager at the agency got everything sorted in one evening, I couldn't even believe it was that fast, but then I checked the tickets three times, everything matched. Food at the bars on the corner is great, had jamon and sangria, the calamari in batter are a bit tough to be honest. came back a different person it seems

i booked a tour to barcelona through a local agency because crawling through all those connections and layovers myself was just lazy, and the vacation was given suddenly too. flew with a layover in istanbul, sat there for three hours in a cafe with a stupid cup of coffee that i didn't even finish. sagrada familia of course is impressive, but that line.. stood almost two hours in the sun and that's considering we bought tickets in advance. but gaudi is everywhere, right in the middle of ordinary buildings, you walk down the street and suddenly the balconies are like from another world. at the hotel i didn't like that the air conditioner hummed like a tractor, had to sleep with the window open and it's noisy there until night. the food was fine, but i still ran for churros and thick chocolate with them every day, by the way cheaper than at our coffee shops. flew back without any adventures, and yes, i would go back there again, just to a different neighborhood, away from this eternal hustle. and the agency gets a four, because they mentioned the layover in passing and i figured it out myself afterward

took a package at the travel agency in my neighborhood for Barsa because I wouldn't have gotten myself together to touch Gaudi - lazy, and my Spanish is nothing, but here it's all on a platter. I touched Sagrada with my hands through the fence, stepped on a jellyfish on the beach in Botanika, a lizard magnet got attached to the souvenir, the manager at the office laid it all out fine, but at the very end forgot to put a period

Barselonu posmotrel, gorod ogon, no nogi otwalivalis ot etih perehodow i wisotok. Menedzher podskazala paru mest, za chto ei spasibo, i pjat iz pjati bez woprosow.

Barcelona is something else, I walked around the Gothic Quarter and got a blister, but I bought a ceramic tile with a lizard — it's hanging in my kitchen now. The hotel was okay, breakfast so sweet it made me sick, but I came back happy and would give it all five.

went to Barcelona and here's what I'll say - Sagrada Familia is of course impressive, but those stairs... just terrible. walked around the Gothic Quarter, found a tiny cafe where they serve just unreal churros with chocolate (and the chocolate is thick like sour cream, you can eat it with a spoon)), so the main thing I want to say is - next time I'll definitely come back and definitely bring comfortable shoos, because those cobblestones nearly killed me..

Went to the agency on business, needed an urgent trip to Barcelona, picked the first one that came up, the one I found at 2am. The manager got everything sorted in half an hour, I didn’the even have time to properly read the documents. And so here I am standing at the airport, boarding pass in hand, it’s December outside, and I’m flying to the sea. The hotel turned out to be right by La Rambla, the elevator there is tiny, I barely squeezed the suitcases in. Arrived and... sat on the waterfront by the Columbus monument eating jamon straight out of the bag, probably would have sat there all evening if they hadn’they started siesta earlier.

Went on this tour only for the Sagrada Familia, well and generally just wanted to get away from all those new year salads and olivier, because sitting at home in december I just couldn't take it anymore.. Chose this agency specifically because a friend recommended it, said they organize everything fine there and won't scam you. Arrived, got off the bus, and from this architecture my eyes just went everywhere, Gaudi is of course a genius, but the line at the entrance is something terrible, stood outside for forty minutes and almost froze even though the weather was above zero. Then I also went to Park Guell on my own, those mosaics on the benches — beautiful of course, but there are so many tourists you can't push through, good thing at least I got to the sea, breathed some air and bought myself a magnet with a lizard. The hotel was small, breakfast scanty but the coffee was decent, and thanks for that. came home happy, even though tired as a dog, will definitely go again only in may when it's warmer

Took a tour to Barcelona, everything went smoothly. The hotel turned out to be two steps from the metro, which was the main thing for me (I don't like taxis). The food was decent, but I have a complicated relationship with Spanish cuisine — the paella seemed a bit undercooked, though the locals were happy with theirs. Sagrada Familia is something else, I walked around with my head tilted back for two hours. The Gothic Quarter is narrow, confusing, I got a little lost there, but that's even for the better. The sea in December is cold, I didn't go in for a swim. The trip back wore me out. Five out of five.

The trip turned out great, the guide laid everything out clearly. True, the hotel had a tiny elevator — a crowd was always cramming into it, but the breakfasts were like homemade, and I filled up a whole plate every time. And also in the Gothic Quarter I accidentally wandered into a tiny pastry shop and bought almond cookies there — they were just impossibly delicious, so the mood, which started with tiredness after the flight, became completely happy by the end.

Bought a tour to Barcelona. Well, "bought" — it just happened, saw a last-minute slot at the agency and went for it. We arrived, checked in, all good, the guide met us, drove us to the hotel without any adventures. Sagrada Familia — that's something else, I'm not a fan of churches honestly, but there you really get stuck on the details, especially the stone carving. Walked around the Gothic Quarter, got lost a couple of times, but that's even for the better — stumbled upon a small pastry shop with turron, finger-licking good. The sea... cold of course for October, but I wet my feet and it was fine. The only thing — the lines everywhere are insane, didn't get into Park Guell because of that, oh well. The weather was nice, walked around in a t-shirt during the day, need a jacket in the evening. Overall — five stars, would come back again, but without the tour running around, just to live in that rhythm.

I booked the trip to Barcelona through a travel agency and was happy with it, the hotel had a balcony and a view of a quiet street where in the mornings it smelled of fresh pastries from the bakery across the way. I walked around the Gothic Quarter, ate hamon with tomato bread and washed it down with sangria, and came back with a magnet for the fridge and a mild tiredness in my legs.

I ended up on vacation unexpectedly, had to urgently find at least something, and the agency in my neighborhood suggested Barcelona. I went because I'd long wanted to see the Sagrada, and the sea is nearby too. The hotel turned out to be two stops from the beach, which was really convenient, but the breakfasts were strange — croissants and that's it. I went to the Gothic Quarter, there are narrow streets and you can get lost in five minutes. My husband hurt his leg on the stones, that slightly spoiled the first day. I came back, honestly, happy, though I wouldn't go to that roomfill again — too noisy until morning.

The trip was a success. The manager organized everything perfectly — the hotel turned out to have a sea view, even though I booked the cheapest one. Came back happy, just the elevator in the hotel worked every other time (that's on the Spanish, not the travel agency).

dolgo vybirala kuda letet, hotelas v ispaniyu no vegda chto to meshalo - to dengi to rabota, i vot na konets oformila tur v etom agentstve chto. leteli cherez peresadku, vse normalno, no sam airoport vtoroy pokazalsya mne kakim to dushevnym.. w Hotel zaselilis srazu, nomer malenkii no chistenkii, postel bez zapaha, eto dlya menya vazhno. barselona eto koneshno otdelnaya istoriya - goticheskiy kvartal ya ishodila peshkom dwa raza, tapas i sangriya vezde, a vot more popalos vetrenoe i ya ne kupalas, tolko nogi namochila. s uma ne soydu ot sobornoy semi - tam ya prostoyala chas, hotya mogla by i ne stoyat.. vse je chetverka, a ne pyat, potomu chto odin den byla kakaya to zamorochka s transferom i ya poteryala pol dnya

the wife wanted Barcelona, and I just wanted the visa sorted without running around, thats why I went to this agency — and didnt seem to go wrong. The hotel they gave was decent, not amazing of course, breakfast was a bit skimpy, but for that money its tolerable, we went up the Sagrada, legs were buzzing, but the view, and our guide kept mumbling about Gaudi and Gaudi, and now I sit here thinking — would I go back there again or not

үш күн Барселонада жүрдім, әбден шаршадым бірақ ұнады.. Sagrada Familiaның алдында тұрып таң қалдым, билетті турфирмадан алдық, кезекте көп күтпедім, Готикалық кварталдың тар көшелерінде адасып кеттім, сонда да қайта-қайта соған қайтып келгім келді

went to Barcelona on a package deal from these guys, everything was organised smoothly even though it was nerve-wracking at first. our guide told us where to get proper tapas and not the touristy crap, big thanks for that, but the hotel turned out a bit far from the center.

we took the package for the football, my son supports barsa, and I myself finally wanted to see Sagrada with my own eyes, it just so happened at new year — and here we are in Barcelona, where the manager from the agency helped with a hotel near the metro, thanks for that, though the food at the hotel was so-so, breakfasts boring, but the Sagrada... inside it really gives you goosebumps, I stood there for twenty minutes just looking up at those columns and the light through the stained glass then there was Nisvel, but of course in january it's better not to go there, cold and everything closed, and for the Gothic quarter we had half a day left, cramped, noisy, but that's the thrill of it, and overall I don't regret going

Barcelona is of course something unreal, but by the evening my legs were just falling off from these endless walks through the streets of the Gothic Quarter. Sagrada Familia in real life blew me away, although the queue at the entrance was a bit annoying, and yeah, I later regretted that I didn't get tickets to the tower in advance.

Barcelona greeted with sun, but the hotel turned out to be away from the center. I went there because of the Sagrada — and didn't regret it, because inside it really takes your breath away, even though the line is long. I walked around the Gothic Quarter on foot, got lost somewhere, but found a little pastry shop with incredible cupcakes. Only the tour to Montserrat was disappointing: the guide chattered so fast that half of it was impossible to make out, and they gave little time for sightseeing. Came back happy, even though my legs were buzzing; a four.

we went to barcelona because we wanted the sea and to see the architecture, not just lie on a beach in turkey, though i still slept the whole first day in the room after the flight. the hotel turned out ok, breakfasts with sausage and coffee from a machine, but the elevator... it barely dragged along and stank of old varnish, i even took the stairs. i climbed up the sagrada familia, took photos, the view from the balcony was amazing though the wind was blowing me away

Барселонаға жолдама алдым, демалыс күндерімді тиімді өткізейін деп, турагенттікке барып сұрадым, олар маған осы бағытты ұсынды, ұшаққа отырып кеттім. Ұшу ұзақ болды, шаршадым, бірақ қалаға кіргенде таңғалдым, Гаудидің үйлері, Саграда Фамилия, теңіз жағасы, тағамдары дәмді, бірақ метро мен автобуста адам көп, кейде тығындалып қалдық, сонда да көңілді болдым, қайтып келгенде әлі күнге дейін әсерімді ұмытпаймын

Went with my wife to celebrate our anniversary, and vacation just happened to come up. Wanted Barcelona, but putting the trip together ourselves was too much hassle, so we went to a travel agency. The manager quickly picked a hotel and flights, didn't even have to ask anything twice. Gaudi, of course, impressed us, but the line at the Sagrada nearly did us in. But the jamon from La Boqueria market — the best thing I ate there, though maybe I was just hungry. By evening my legs were buzzing so bad I just wanted to sit on a bench and watch people. The sea is warm, but the beach in Barcelona — meh. Came back happy, though I spent a couple days just catching up on sleep after all that walking. Would I go again? Probably yes, but in October, when there are fewer tourists.

Barcelona is fire, though the first day almost ruined the mood — the hotel turned out farther from the center than I thought, had to walk on foot for like forty minutes with a suitcase in the heat. But then everything made up for it: Sagrada Familia is just outer space, I stood there for half an hour and couldn't stop staring at these facades, inside it totally blows your mind from the light and the columns.

Barcelona is of course love. We flew with a layover, waited three hours in Istanbul, but it was worth it. We took a hotel in the Eixample district, the room was small, but a little balcony with a view of the neighboring balconies — laundry drying, cats sitting, atmosphere. The breakfasts were so-so, the scrambled eggs were swimming in oil (I wouldn't even cook that at home), but the coffee was decent. I walked to the Sagrada on foot across the whole city, my legs were buzzing, but when I came out to the viewpoint — I forgot about the tiredness. The sea is cold in April, I didn't dare to swim, just sat on the sand, fed the seagulls, one brazen one almost dragged off my sandwich. On the way back through the Boqueria market, everyone there is yelling, the fruits are glistening, I bought jamon and cheese, ate half of it already in the room, the other half is still in the fridge. Overall the trip was good, I'll definitely come back.

went to Barcelona because I really wanted spring sun and at least some change of scenery after winter. I was choosing a tour through a local agency in Almaty, my eyes ran wild, but I settled on Spain, I'd been planning to go there for a long time. The manager sorted everything out quickly in one evening, without extra chatter and pushing insurance (which for me is a huge plus). We flew with a layover in Istanbul, I struggled a bit with the carry-on, but that's minor. In Barcelona itself we stayed in the Eixample area, the streets there are narrow, balconies with these cast-iron railings, I kept hitting them with my shoulder when I went out onto the balcony in the morning. We had breakfast at a small pastry shop nearby, they have such crispy buns with Catalan cream that I still remember the taste. The only thing that bothered me was the very noisy neighbors above, who moved furniture around twelve at night, well screw them. Overall the trip was a total success, the city is beautiful, Gaudi's architecture impressed me to the point of goosebumps, we walked ten kilometers on foot and didn't even get tired. I came home happy and with a suitcase full of souvenirs, I'll definitely go again but to Madrid this time.

Барселонаға бару үшін менеджерге жүгіндім, себебі өзім іздеп әлек болғым келмеді. Ұшу мен қонақүй жағы реттелді, бірақ қаладағы экскурсия уақыты сәл қысқа болып кетті, сондықтан төрт қана қойдым.
