Visitors who have stayed in room 712 in the hotel have reported strange noises, finding faucets that start without anyone touching them, and even apparitions. There have so many reports of unusual things taking place in the room, that the management decided to close it. They only rent 712 now if someone requests that specific room. Even the cleaning ladies are afraid of the room. They always clean it in pairs, so no one has to remain alone there.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Legend has that in the nineteenth-century, a young Christian woman fell in love with a Muslim. This drove her father to rage, who then locked her in one of the castle\u2019s towers (the one where the room is located), where she eventually died of a broken heart.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Carrer_de_Montcada\"><\/span><strong>Carrer de Montcada<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">You might want to look over your shoulder when walking in <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.es\/maps\/place\/Carrer+de+Montcada,+08003+Barcelona\/@41.3850027,2.1788434,17z\/data=!3m1!4b1!4m2!3m1!1s0x12a4a2fe8bb6c2a3:0xb163fd70c1ee9680\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Carrer de Montcada<\/a><\/strong>.
