What is that everyone in associates with Spain besides Sunshine, Salsa and Bulls? Right, it’s the great Mediterranean food! In Spain people are told to become older and live healthier than people in more northern countries and this may very well be linked to their special diet. Healthy meat and fish, natural bread fresh vegetables and everything prepared with domestic olive oil.
The greatest of all Spanish Dishes has to be the great “Paella” though. Paella is a dish that originated in the state of Valencia. It is a dish that consists of yellow rice, meat/fish, saffron and seasoning. It is usually served in a huge pan and shared by a group of at least 4 people.
While Paella is a dish from Valencia and can be enjoyed all over Spain, one thing is sure: Barcelona is the place to be if you want to try the famous “Paella Marisco”. This is a special variation which instead of chicken and lamb is prepared with Prawns, a variety of fish and other delicacies that the sea has to offer. Naturally with its rich sea and beach regions Barcelona has the freshest and tastiest ingredients right available.
We suggest you make use of our 10-15% discount during the whole month of May to book one of our Barcelona apartment rentals. You can use this chance to try the great Spanish dish and even catch Mays Formula 1 Race in Barcelona!
Insider tip:
The best Paella de Marisco you can find in the idyllic neighborhood of Barceloneta. This is actually a traditional fisherman’s area where you still can see some docks and traditional fisher boats. This is the perfect place to grab one of the many restaurants that specialized on seafood and Paella which literally get their ingredients from the sea fresh within minutes. A candlelight dinner there after sunset and with sea view is a unique experience that you will cherish for a longtime to come
Rent4Days especially recommends the Restaurant “Cheriff “which offers great quality food in scenic ambient!

liga de Campeones , Los semifinales con Barcelona , Chelsea , Madrid y Bayern
Parece que los semifinales de la champions league se han 
elaborado desde el principio. Todos los favoritos fueron capaces de superar a la competencia en su propio terreno en los últimos partidos. Algunos lo hicieron con facilidad (Madrid), otros decidieron hacer la serie más emocionante, añadiendo un poco de tensión en el juego (Barcelona), pero al final todas las equipas han ganado con un convincente puntacion
Ahora se espera las partidas las mas interesantes del torneo de la UEFA. Cuatro equipos muy fuertes se enfrentarán. Primero vamos a empezar con el Bayern de Múnich vs Real Madrid el martes 17 . Será un partido para recordar. Los expertos no están seguros de cuál es el favorito, ya que ambos equipos parecen estar compuestos de jugadores igualmente fuerte .
El segundo partido el martes será Chelsea vs Barcelona. Nuestros héroes locales son claramente el favorito aquí, aunque Chelsea no debe ser subestimada. Chelsea perdió el año pasado las semifinales de Barcelona . Pero ahorra se llena de pasión y determinación a fin de evitar una sensación de déjà vu ..
Rent4Days esperanza de que usted no se pierda ninguna de la próxima Champions League. Estaríamos encantados de darle la bienvenida en Barcelona! Sin embargo, no dude a reservar sus entradas para ver este grande partida del 24 de abril de Barcelona contra Chelsea ,y al mismo tiempo no olvide alquilar Apartamento en Barcelona para este evento .

No dude a dejar sus comentarios
Champions League Semi-Finals: Barcelona,Chelsea,Madrid and Bayern
It seems like the European Champions League semi-finals have been drafted from the start. All the favorites were able to overcome the competition at their home ground in the four recent games. Some did it with ease (Madrid), others decided to make the series more thrilling by adding some tension in to the game (Barcelona) but in the end all of the four won clearly with a convincing aggregated score.
Now we have the most interesting part of the UEFA tournament ahead of us. Four very strong teams will face each other in the final rounds. First we will start off with Bayern Munich versus Real Madrid on Monday the 17th.This will be a game to remember. Experts are not sure which one is the favorite, since both teams appear to consist of equally strong and secure players. The one who will win for sure though is the viewer of this fiery competition.
The second game will be on Tuesday after and it will be Chelsea vs. Barcelona. Our local heroes are clearly the favorite here though Chelsea is NOT to be underestimated. If Messi is not up to his top game or the defense is disorganized, the English team will surely exploit those flaws and use them to turn the tables. Chelsea which lost last year’s semi finals to Barcelona will be full of passion and determination in order to avoid a sensation of déjà vu.
Rent4Days hopes that you will not miss any of the upcoming 5 champions League games and we would be glad to welcome you in the beautiful Barcelona! Yet you have the chance to book your tickets, rent Apartment in Barcelona and watch Barca`s second Leg Game here in the impressive Santiago Bernabéu Stadium on Tuesday the 24th of April!
We are interested in your opinion though! How do you think the semis will turn out? Do you think we might see a clásico (Barcelona-Madrid) match in the finals? Or may Bayern be too strong for the Spanish capitol? Which team do you think will turn out to be the champion?
