Youth Hostel In Barcelona:

Youth Hostel In Barcelona youth hostel in barcelona hostels, in the country, will give you a bed for 30 to 40 cents and meals for about the same price apiece; which leads me to mention a youth hostel in barcelona hostel ship, named Chapman, moored in Stockholm at the quay of Skeppsholmen Island, opposite the Old City. It is open to all members of the International youth hostel in barcelona Hostel Federation and also to anyone who can show the special identification card issued by the Swedish Touring Club at a low price. Meals are taken at a snack bar in the ship.

These places generally work out better than the commercial hotels, the private hotels and—dreariest of all—the temperance hotels, Those bent on "total thrift" will find that cycling is popular in Britain and that youth hostel in barcelona Hostels are everywhere. The main British office of the youth hostel in barcelona Hostel Association is at 21 Bedford St., London, W.C.I. The YMCA, with its "Holidays" office at 37 Bedford Square, London, W.C.I and the YWCA, with its similar office at 108 Baker St., London, W.I, have their own hostels and holiday centers but cooperate closely with the Association. You'll have lots of cheerful young company if you go it cheap, for the British are insatiable holiday seekers and lack of money rarely hinders them.


Truly, it is unfortunate that we have to fall back on the dreary double- "boarding house" to translate it into English, for there is nothing ary about the better European pensions. They are family places, thou-ds of them in every country, where you may live, with or without your lily, for substantially less than in most hotels. You take all your meals ler its roof, or you may, usually, make a special deal for demi-pension ilf pension), leaving you free for luncheon (or dinner) to roam vvher-r you like. In good pensions, you find a good clientele and usually an ernational one that puts you in touch with interesting people from half ozen countries. Most hotels offer an en pension arrangement, at a considerably » duced rate, for those guests who stay at least three (sometimes five) days, but for stays of a fortnight or longer a regular pension is the thing.

For the farthing-pincher-I use the word with respect—these are havens of thrift, a clean cot in i dormitory often costing no more than a quarter of a dollar! However, in many hostels the guest is expected to bring his own sleeping bag at blanket. Meals, sometimes but by no means always provided in th| hostel, may tot up to a dollar a day, or you may have "kitchen privileges' and cook your own, furnishing also your own (plastic) plate and cup and your "tinnery."
