"War" averted

I only mentioned the Liceu stop, as by the time I was on the Metro back to my hotel after walking all over BCN, that stop looked a smidgen closer to the hotel (at least to me) and my sore feet just didn't want to get up at Cataluyna

Also when you exit the station from the last car, as you come up to street level you see LeMeridien immediately to your left up Las Ramblas.
