People We Meet on Vacation locations

People We Meet on Vacation beach
The rocky, empty beach is Platja de sa Boadella in Lloret de Mar, on the Costa Brava.

Contrary to what is shown on screen, the beaches in this area are usually crowded—just check Google Maps—so consider heading elsewhere, even to another country if possible, if you’re looking for a romantic, quiet beach experience.

People We Meet on Vacation hotel
The hotel with a rooftop pool and panoramic city views in Barcelona is ME Barcelona, a modern (and rather ugly) five-star hotel in L’Eixample.

Located just steps from Plaça de Catalunya and major sights like La Rambla and Passeig de Gràcia, typical rates range from around US$280 to US$590+ per night.

The beautiful tiled domes next door belong to Casa Rocamora, a grand neo-Gothic building from the early 20th century.
