21. Molins de Rei, Spain
Why Molins de Rei?
If you’re like me and just had a little too much of Barcelona, then Molins de Rei is a great way to unwind. It’s a tiny working class town that will give you a great taste of the Spanish culture. I actually found this place as it has a Holiday Inn there and the price was cheaper than staying in Barcelona :-).
Where
Molins de Rei is located just outside of Barcelona; just under 12 miles away. South of other unfamiliar destinations such as Girona and Lloret de Mar.
