Turn left on Carrer de Ros de Olano and continue straight for approx. 400 meters (430 yards) and the hostel will be on your left.*note* The street “Carrer de Ros de Olano” changes into “Carrer Terol” after approx. 5 blocks – After crossing the street Carrer del Torrent de l’Olla, the street Carrer de Ros de Olano becomes Carrer Terol.

Please be very careful about pick-pockets in Barcelona, they are very tricky. Keep your valuables safe (preferably in a money belt) and always have a hand on your bags. Be aware especially at the metro when you are arriving with all your belongings on you, and also at all the main tourist attractions.
