Barcelona

Me and my boyfriend went there this summer for a week. Sadly it was the one week with the worst weather forecast ever. However that might have been good after all because we had more time to see the city.

Definitively go to Casa Batlló. Definitively take the metro tickets for 10+ trips. Don’t forget to go to the magic fountain on Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays!

It’s well worth a visit, assuming you don’t die there.

talked with a barcelona guy about house-exchanging this, like they did in the movie “the holiday”, hope that can happen!

I will be in Barcelona on Saturday. I can’t believe it. Can’t wait!!!

Does anyone have some nice restaurants to go to? Or something most tourists don’t see that I should make the effort to see?

I loved this city! Had a very relaxing trip here.

Beware of the pick pockets working on virtually every train. They do not work alone. They team up to block and jostle you while you try to board and before you know you’ve been picked clean.

La Rambla is such a fun area! i had a blast observing the living statues!

Oh, and Camp Nou is closed on sundays!!!

I have to admit that our trip to Barcelona wasn’t of the educational sort. (if you don’t count drinking till you puke educational…=) But if you’re looking for a place with great bars and nightclubs, Barcelona is the place for you! Of course there are many other things to Barcelona than this, but that’s the only thing we discovered while visiting. (exept from La Sagrada Familia – which was great by the way)
But if you’re going on a raging drinking trip to Barcelona, a budget will have shattered within the first night. Escpecially if you go to the nightclubs on the beach. We found a great nightclub by La Rambla which wasn’t too expensive, but at the same time it seemed to contain half of Spain’s population. This wasn’t the case of the nightclubs on the beach. There, you could dance, drink and actually stare at bartenders in bikini thongs or surfing shorts without thinking it was too hot or too crowded.;-) There is a reason Barcelona was named the city with the best nightlife of Europe.
