Diagonal Av is the main strip that is most popular with tourists as it is perfect for easy access to the cities attractions. It is bursting with Malls for shopping and is wonderful for a spot of coffee and a lavish desert.
Barcelona offers many different activities for different holiday makers. New Camp is a definitely worth a visit. FC Barcelona has a beautiful stadium that is really a sight to see. There are different types of tours with different levels of excess but its worth seeing as much of New Camp as you can. Another of the Cities gems is the Gaudi Cathedral. Antoni Gaudi is the architect that truly transformed Barcelona with his gothic Templo Expiatorio de la Sagrada Familia (Church of the Holy Family) that changes the out line of the Barcelona’s skyline completely. It’s just tragic that the architect died in an accident before it was completed in 1926. Building did not resume until 1979 and it still going on today.
The People of Barcelona are very friendly with that relaxed European feel. The younger generation do speak some English where as their elders tend not too, so maybe best to learn a few phases, especially when getting a taxi. You do have to very careful of pick pocketing and there are also a few con-artists that operate in the area posing as the Police who may try and offer their help. Just Decline and walk away. Be very straight forward as they may try and persist.
Night life in Barcelona I lively and there are many excellent places to visit. Club Apolo/Nitsa is a lively club that was originally an old theatre. Dance-a-thons are on at the weekends but the question is can you last until 6am? If you’re not ready for the clubbing scene you can visit the London bar which has a fairly arty vibe with live music most nights. Prices of drinks do go up at 9:30pm but would still be cheaper then London.
Barcelona is an experience of a live time. It is truly beautiful in the summer and will be a firm favorite of any holiday maker.
