On the Last Post I've showed you in what Hotel of Barcelona we have stayed for our days of tourism but I didn't show the exact location of the Ayre Rosellon Hotel!
As you can see we were on least of 5 min distance from the subway that can take us to all the places of Barcelona we want to go as you can see here.
So after the Halloween we had 2 days and a morning left to know almost all the city so we had to make some few cuts of places to visit unfortunately! So in the first day we decided to go to the MACBA in the morning and in the afternoon we would go to Montjuic! Personally I didn't enjoy too much the Museum of Contemporary Art of Barcelona, just because I was expecting more of it, but still there was a nice Pop art exposition at the time, that it was very enjoyable to see.

So after we spent all morning in the MACBA we went to Montjuic to see the Montjuic Castle so we went on the subway and when we arrived we saw that we were a way long up hill distance from the Castle so we catched the Cable Car where we saw a brilliant view to the city! when we arrived there we saw the Castel that is beautiful and we wanted to go to Poble Espanyol! and we decided to go down on our own feet and it took us 1h30 because we became lost in Montjuic but when we found our way It was late and we were very tired so we went to the hotel, and found a nice dinner place for calling off the night.

Welcome back to the new Hoteloscopy, I've missed the writing I'm honest!
So Halloween night is coming and unfortunately I won't do anything to participate this year, because since Portugal doesn't have the tradition of Halloween, we only have a few parties and It's like all the other ones, so this little introduction takes me to the todays Post.
Last year my girlfriend and I, made a little crazy plans like skip college for three days to go to Barcelona to Halloween!
We went on a Thursday morning and the plan was to go to Portaventura and spend two nights in one of their Hotels! But first the plan of trip! We have arrived on the El Prat airport T1 and we had to catch the bus in a space of 45 min to terminal T2 that was on the other side of the airport, The El Prat airport was HUGE so we had to take a bus shuttle that takes the passagers from terminal to terminal. So we made it and we had some difficulties to found where the bus would stop, we were searching for some board with autocars plana (www.autocarsplana.com) on it to see the exact place of the airport terminal the bus would stop. We searched from approximatelly 20 min and the we saw a small paper on a pillar, and it was there!
Shuttle Bus from Terminal 1 (B) to Terminal 2 (A)
So after that search, we had an one peaceful hour of bus ride approximately and what made me surprise was that the bus driver talked to us, in Spanish of course about where we went and as I thought that he would stop the bus on the regular bus stop, he took us to the Entrance of the Hotel! we wasn't expecting that!
As we arrived we were amazed by the theme of the Hotel, It was the first time I went to a Hotel like that, It's called Hotel Gold River and it's a Western Theme Hotel!

So It's fair enough if you guys are asking why did he went to PortAventura in Halloween? and the answer it's simple, on Halloween they have more than the regular attractions and rides! First of all they decorate all place with skulls and pumpkins and stuff like only halloween have! Second, theres people dressed like the exorcist or the Frankenstein and scare people in the middle of the park when you least expect it! Also, there are many Halloween Shows and a Restaurant Halloween themed too and principally, they have Horror in Penitence that is a Terror House! Furthermore, on the Halloween Night, they transform the Polynesia Area, into the Forest of Fear (Selva del Miedo)! It's like the most frigthening thing there I have been to! and It takes you 30 min to get out of it!
you can see a little bit of it! not filmed by me!
There's still one pearl of PortAventura Halloween that is called Hotel Burn! It's a Hotel where all of it is halloween themed and in the night, if you want, they enter in your room and scare you!
And that's it for todays Post I leave you some photos of the park decoration!
how have you been doing, I'm great I'm alive at least so that's a good thing I guess sorry to keep you guys waiting for more hotels it's just with this sun, It doesn't have the time to make a post my bad sorry!
So today I'll bring you another Silken Hotel, this time on Bilbao the largest city of the Basque Country! As you may know this city have one of The five Guggenheim museums we have in the world and guess what? This Hotel is located in front of the museum.
The interior of the Hotel makes you think you're in a design museum of the XX century. It has a very integral, formal and coherent design made by Javier Mariscal and Fernando Salas.
Crazy about the World around me, I'm truly happy when I travel to another country bigger or smaller they all have a story to tell and I simply love to know them all!
