Barcelona Concierge

         Today, my cousin Benjamin Quisumbing emailed me because he is getting married and he said that he is taking a cruise ship on his honeymoon and one of his stops is Barcelona. Lately I have been getting a lot of requests for restaurants, clubs, and places to see by friends or friends of friends. So I thought it would be best to write down the important things I know about Barcelona as I lived there for 6 months and worked with one of the best concierge in the city, Carlos Nunez in Ritz Carlton. I will only put my favourite spots though, so if you read this, go and try the places out and see if you trust my tastes.

First, here is a video I made of when I lived in Barcelona in 2010, it just shows the culture and what I saw everyday (no clubbing included, I will be making a Barcelona party video very soon). This also shows the veeery last bullfight in an arena in Catalonia regions before it became illegal, thank god.

Hotel Arts Barcelona

        When booking a hotel at a destination, the most important aspect other than price is location. If you have cash to spend, then I highly recommend Hotel Arts, Ritz Carlton; the most personalized service, an extremely beautiful view of the ocean or city and great location . Another good hotel in the city is Mandarin Oriental, designated in the center of the city.
