Our house is opposite the hotel (the green with vines). It is important to name the hospital because there is another street with the same name in another distant part of Barcelona.
By car you enter Barcelona by the Ronda de Dalt and our exit is nº10 (Pedralbes-Hospital de Sant Joan de Deu) and just follow the signs to the hospital. Our house is just behind the Hospital. Parking is easy, free and safety.

Take train to Plaça Espanya. Take metro line 3 (green) direction to Zona Universitaria and there are two options:
