Barcelona ideas

[Priscilla Parsley]

I was so impressed with Barcelona, I never fancied it and always plump fro Paris, for evenings the old latin quarter is the best most cute place to dine, its worth checking out Time out web site for reccomendations as dining can be a bit hit and miss. I too am a staunch mondernist (have you stayed in Le Corbusier's Unite d'habitition in Marseille?!) but Gaudi up close and in his city really melted my heart, please see Casa Mila which is his residential block. The Miro museum is pretty effing spectacular too.

have fun

spent many a time there back when had decent work!! Chicken bar .Big Ben etc... Later yrs was seen often in Mercabarna 24 restaurant good food and cheap. Plenty of decent tapas bars in town, enjoy it.

I forgot, don't go in any Irish bars, packed out with drunk, depressed, jobless expats.

Personally, I prefer Madrid by a long way, I think Barcelona has had it, a lot of racial tension is festerng there.

Something that could be said of most of Spain IME

You're so right.

I took a dump in Barcelona bus station and found out too late that when one person in the gents flushes the loo all the loos flush(!).

It was like the worst colonic irrigation in the world...
