Subject: Re: Hotel Meson Castilla in Barcelona
Lynne of Gig Harbour,

Barcelona/Rome will, indeed, be a long journey. There is no information directly on the RENFE website (the Spanish National Railway) but there are some contact numbers given at http://www.renfe.es/ Perhaps you could give them a ring to find out more?

During my trip to Spain, which sadly ends tomorrow, I spent some time in Seville. I stayed in the La Rabida Hotel, which was way central and very handy for everything. It is a good four-star place so might not be as budget-minded as you might like, but I booked it through expedia.co.uk who had a special rate on during my stay (which was only a few days back) so you might want to check (don't know if the offer is still on or what your budget is!). Can't really advise you any more than that on Seville accomodation. ---- Mark Sukhija, back in Madrid
