We started our trip to Spain at El Castell de Ciutat. After a beautiful drive through the countryside, after landing in BCN, we were greeted by gracious staff, at the gorgeous hotel. We were jet lagged, but the hotel staff helped us orient to our new location with helpful advice and wonderful service. We had lunch in the hotel's restaurant, and were NOT disappointed. Delicious! Over the next three days we enjoyed the views, the food, the pool, and the surrounding towns. When we moved on to our next hotel, we couldn't help but be disappointed by comparison to El Castell de Ciutat! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
