Rambla 130

So glad we found this place.
We have been traveling for almost 2 weeks and had done a lot of walking and my friend and I were in great need of massages. I hurt everywhere-​I think carrying my big camera was hurting my back.
Anyway, I got on Unilocal and also online to find a spa or massage place nearby. (Hint-​do not google just massage places in Barcelona-​you will get places that are not the reputable type places, ew. Make sure you put Spa!).
We thought about going to the Hotel W but they were across town and really pricy. We asked our concierge at our hotel (Royal Ramblas) and they suggest Rambla 130 and it was directly across the street! We simply walked over there to make our appointment. It wasn’t so easy to find, not a lot of signage, but we had the right address and someone in the building told us it was on the 3^rd floor.
The nice girl that spoke some english made our reservations and fit us in that afternoon. We were thrilled. They have all kinds of services, several massages incuding reflexology to choose from and also they do facials, manicures, pedicures. The don’t have the hot tubs and saunas and that whole experience that full blown spas have (at least I don’t think so, I did note someone showering there) but their massage services were really good and we didn’t have all day anyway.
I was really wanting a deep tissue massage (they called that an «osteo» massage) and my friend wanted a softer massage. The prices were great-​the osteo was $ 60 an hour and a regular massage was $ 50. The W Hotel was way pricier than that, about 3 times as much.
To my disappointment they got us mixed up (I think there was a lack of communication) and I got the softer massage. But maybe it all worked out because my friend ended up needing some more intensity and my person, her name was Ava, did such a great job with me. She did an all over massage, versus just focusing on the hurting areas, so I think we both ended up getting what we needed. I would give Ava 5 stars. My friend had a guy give her massage and I know she was really happy with him too.
I wish we had time to try their different services. A pedicure or facial looked so enticing but we were short on time.
Loved the atmosphere of the place, modern and calming.
Highly recommend and would definitely go again.
