Check Out Barcelona Via GoCar, Courtesy of Hotel Miramar

Where: Plaza Carlos Ibañez No. 3, Barcelona, Spain, 08038

We were excited to learn last week that Eurostars hotels in Barcelona are giving guests MP3 players to guide them 'round the city. But now we've heard of something even better: how about a GPS-based tour (so you don't have to engage your brain to work out what you're looking at) that takes place in a car to save your tootsies?

The sexy Hotel Miramar on Montjuic hill overlooking the city has teamed up with GoCar, which has a fleet of little yellow electric cars each stocked with a GPS and an audioguide to the city. This is a good thing, because, having been to Barcelona, we can vouch for the fact that it's pretty sprawling and the sights are fairly spaced out.

Plus, who wouldn't want to toddle around in an eye-catching cutie like this? We tried a tour like this in Washington DC last year, and we felt as adored by the crowds as a bride on her wedding day.
