Traveling to Barcelona in Mid-September. Any "must see or do" items?
 

Headng there with my girlfriend. Looking for tips on things to do, places to see, restaurants, day getaways, etc..... :thumbsup

Cory, hit up Ben from NoCreditCard...he lives there and can probably hook you up with the cool spots

Already done. He has been super helpful already. :thumbsup

I was there last year, but only for a night on a lay over...You have exaclty what you need, Romance with your girl..Tell her I said hi..

Mr. Romance

might join you with my GF if that's ok - staying at/around the flashcash people?

You got it. And you are more than welcome.

I think a little group might be heading over there :thumbsup

Temple de la Sagrada Familia is an amazing site. Absolutely incredible stone work and detail. They started constructing it in 1882 and they're not even close to being done, Gaudi was a genius. If you're into architecture or geology you'll love this place.

Las Ramblas is a happening spot too. Always something going on and tons to do in this area. Watch out for the pick pockets and scam artists though. This area is infamous for crime, I witnessed it first hand. I had two friends get jacked in the same night. Nothing worse then getting your wallet stolen in a foreign country.

If you have a chance to make it over to San Sebastian it's well worth it. Incredible beaches, people, night life, and just an all around great experience. One of my most favorite spots in Europe!

Be safe and have fun!!!

don't forget to take some pics :)

Thanks! :thumbsup

I'd just add Parque Guell to that list & eating paella.

I was going to tell you about Sitges - but you are going with your GF so I wont bother

Sounds like a fun trip. Good luck. :thumbsup

Camp Nou - Barcelona If youre into soccer - even without a match its a must see

take a side trip to Ibiza for a day or two :)

It's been six years since I was there, but the pipe club is an interesting place to take your girl, it was an underground jazz and pipe club during francos regime. It's kind of hard to fine, but look around online for the Barcelona Pipa Club and something should come up...

As mentionened above, just walking La Ramblas is an interesting experience...

If you are into history, check out the chapel of St Maria Del Pi (I think thats what it was called) Very interesting old church, knights from the crusades are buried there, along with some saints, virgins that went into seclusion there... the whole neihbothood its in is pretty neat.

There used to be a pretty good Basque resturaunt at Passige De Gracia and Placa de Catalunya... I cant remember the name of it though, or even how to spell the street names... God I miss that city...

Someone mentioned Sagrada Familia above, I'll second that, along with all the other archictecture designed by Gaudi, theres a some buildings in the city, and a great park on the I think its called Parc Guell or something like that... you should check that out to, its pretty interesting.

Awesome Thanks!

If you were a single man, I would tell you about some uber sleazy sex spots there. I banged this African chic in a sweaty bed, in the 7th floor of some shit hole apartment that was rented out by a 50+ year old fat transvestite. We had to wait in line for about 45 minutes to get our turn. Really nasty shit. I think I caught lice from that one, but ya never can be sure where you pick those little fuckers up at do ya?



On a serious note...

The Dalhahaha237; Museum is worthy and the old gothic area is very cool. Check out all the Gaudhahaha237; spots and don't forget to peep the Picasso Museum. What a great city.

Enjoy your trip.

So the Dali museum is a couple of hours away?
