sant jordi gracia hostel barcelona featured in ciclosfera magazine

The popular Spanish magaizine for bicycle lovers, Ciclosfera, in an article about bicycling in Barcelona in the Spring, 2013 issue, gave some good lip service to our Sant Jordi Gracia Hostel in Barcelona – a fixed gear bicycle themed boutique hostel in the ultra hip Gracia neighborhood of Barcelona. They didn’t have a lot to say, but what they did say made us proud.

Thanks Ciclosfera for recognizing the hard work and dedication that it took to create such a noteworthy hostel!!!
