Provencals 10 Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain and Canary Islands, 08019, 93-266-5200
Well you've all read the title I assume, and it seems like a big claim to back up. Besides you say, hes only been there for 8 hours or so.. but lets get on with the story. After the net cafe yesterday we had our first ´scary` experience of the trip. Were sitting outside our Paris hostel (which was in a dodgy area of Paris, despite the hostel itself being nice). Some scruffy looking guy, who pretty much radiated menace walked up the street towards us, and sat down right next to Dwight. This is...
Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain and Canary Islands bananaz70Hey Everyone, First up, I`d love to blame my delay in posting on all the dedicated sightseeing and tourism expeditions we´ve undertaken. But to be honest that would be a lie hehe. Its really just been a mix of hanging out at the beach, nighttime drinking expeditions and relaxing at the hostel. So we left off last time, on our first afternoon in Barcelona wondering just how we were going to endure such a harsh lifestyle. That night after a nutritious dinner of 2 minute noodles, we met Adina wh...
Barcelona, Spain and Canary Islands bananaz70Hey Everyone! Its been a bit of a delay since the last post, mainly because we are doing a lot less notable tourism than in other destinations. That aside, between beaches and drinking we've scraped together enough stuff to make another post on the blog. Before I go any further, thanks for reading it all people, getting close to 600 views, in over 2 weeks... I mean I have heard of being bored, but that is crazy :-). Now we left of last time on... I've completely lost track of days, but I real...
Barcelona, Spain and Canary Islands bananaz70Happy July 4th! No 4th of July celebrations over here, so I'm hoping you all had fun for me. Hope you ate some good ol' barbeque and had some fun...because that sure didn't happen here...we had a different type of fun! Well, in all of the bus bookings the night before, Toby, the person who was kinda overseeing the whole bus-booking business, ended up being the one and only person whose bus tickets didn't get booked - so we had to wake up at 6 AM (or at least we tried) to make it to the train ...
Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain and Canary Islands dizzybg924So we figured we were in Barcelona, guess we ha to wake up early despite the fact that we partied like crazy people the night before. We woke up in the morning, did a little bit of shopping at the mall down the street, ate some fabuloso Chinese food at the mall...my goodness it was great...then headed to la playa (the beach)! We walked across the bridge to find the beautiful, gorgeous Mediterranean Sea! It wasn't quite South Beach, the water was a little bit more green and the sand a little b...

... olive in Spain only began after the Muslims had been expelled, dispersed or converted, and the great expansion of the olive industry in the seventeenth century was uninhibited by confessional hatred. Many traditional dishes still use no olive oil. The classic cocidos and fabadas (slow-cooked pot-dishes of chick-peas and beans) are bound together with silky pork fat instead. One of Spain's main delicacies is, jamon serrano, which means "mountain" ham ...
Barcelona, Spain erica321Belinda and I bought a day pass hop-on, hop-off bus ticket, which would take us to all the tourist destinations. We boarded the bus and headed for La Sagrada Familia (a catholic church), probably Barcelona's most famous landmark. La Sagrada Familia was architected by Barcelona most influential architect, Antoni Gaudi. Before arriving to La Sagrada Familia, we saw a number of Gaudi ...
Barcelona, Spain rbaluyot... before our flight time. While waiting for the flight, we took care of some administration items and wrote the journal. Feels good to be up to date even if we haven't uploaded it for a couple of weeks! We almost waited too long for the flight. What? We arrived at the gate at the time of boarding printed on our boarding cards and there was nothing going on. Even the monitors didn't even show that the plane was boarding. Figuring that they were running late, Gerald bought a ...
Barcelona, Spain the_tardifs... following day at 8-9. The weekend was quite eventful as well... in between a couple of bars, another couple of nightclubs and my favorite place, a small little "bar" called La Champañería...You go there at around 8 at night at this place, which only has a bar and an empty space, and you get a couple of Spanish-style sandwiches and a bottle of pink champaigne (cava) with it, for what's really cheap here (and the Euro is absolutely poisonous ...
Barcelona, Spain bermudez... the local team annihilate the other local team in football. This guaranteed them a spot in some sort of final or play-off or something. Being hung over and generally uninterested in football (especially when only going to be there for a week), I obviously wasn't paying too much attention to much more than the pizza and my stash of Diet coke. The next day was a whole new day. France buzzed an hour later than he was supposed to, waking me up, of course. I ran around the ...
