We arrived in Barcelona determined to find a place with heat and hot water. After checking a couple of places we took the Hotel Cosmos in the Gothic Quarter, near the docks just off the Ramblas. It was on the narrowest street we’d ever seen, barely wide enough for our car. We took a bath and washed hair. What a relief.
