Montserrat Sitges

... o per immettersi su un'altra via, fanno sì che i pedoni si gettino continuamente al centro di queste piazzette per attraversare, mettendo di fatto la loro vita in pericolo, considerata la condotta degli automobilisti. Diciamo che la Catalogna, che si considera la regione spagnola più ricca ed evoluta, ha ancora un bel percorso da fare. Non è esattamente un'esempio di civiltà e urbanità. Stride profondamente la presenza di hotel lussuosissimi che fanno da ...

Avevo voglia di mare, di mare vero. Mi hanno detto che quello di Barcellona è brutto, che la spiaggia è finta, semiartificiale, semisporca, semiseria. Non ho ancora avuto modo di verificare personalmente. Vada per Sitges allora! Si prende il treno da Sants o dal Passèig de Gràcia e in meno di 40 minuti si è là. Cinqueeuroevventiandataeritorno. Bien. Il treno è tutta una botta di aria condizionata che appena entri ti si blocca il collo, ma dopo qualche minuto ...

... have been there more than an hour prior to departure. However, there was an accident on the highway on the way to Bergamo so we sat in traffic. We didn't panic because we still had 35 minutes left to catch the flight by the time we got there. Little did we know that all hell was about to break loose. When we went to check in we were literally 2 minutes late. The woman said, "no we already gave your seats away you can't board". I of ...

... the sharpest guy, we ended up realizing that we were going to the same place and let him know that there was an overnight train, so he wouldn´t have to worry about hitchhiking at all. He and his Swedish girlfriend, Josie, ended up tagging along with us and we all hung out at train stops. So once we arrived in Barcelona they tagged along with us to our hostel. as it turns out there was a bit of a mix up and our room had been given ...

... people. I allowed myself to wander around the old gothic city center around the old cathedral and the main pedestrian avenue called La Rambla. On this street, tons of street performers make themselves statues, sell pets, flowers, and postcards, and perform music. It takes so long to walk this street because of all the people jammed into it. However, the other streets are so confusing (I never did really figure it out) that this straight street was the ...

Greetings from Spain! Unlike Morocco we decided to enjoy some slow travel and had a relaxing time touring solely around Barcelona and its surrounding area of Catalunya - a unique state of people with a distinct language and culture from that of the rest of Spain. We spent about four days in Gaudi's Barcelona, day-tripped to the mystical crags and cliffs of the religious pilgrimage site of Montserrat, tasted our way through the wine country towns of Sant Sandurni & Villafranca ...

... The area where this church is situated is beautifull. It juts out into the ocean, almost as it were a fortress. Again the views are spectacular. I wander around this old town a bit and than go back into the main/bustling area again. I find myself at the bench where I was talking to Mellis earlier with this gay flavored looking bar next door called Parrots (Placa Industira 2). This one actually is gay. Woohoo.. From there I am offered a gay Stiges ...

Today was our last day in Barcelona and our last day in Spain. Surprisingly (or maybe NOT surprisingly) our exit was worse than our entry 9 days ago. After not more than a few hours of sleep we gathered our stuff and checked out of our hostel. Leaving ourselves a generous 3 hours, we began to make our way to the Barcelona airport, of course stopping for kebabs along the way. We rode the metro to a central station where we were to connect with a regional train ...

So After teh pickpocketing I was sad. But I got over it, and the next day we headed to see the massive football stadium in Barcelona. The place is huge! 100000 people can go, and wouldn't you know we went to the wrong side of it and had to walk all the way around it. Its big believe me. That wasn't the most exciting part for us though. Right across from the stadium they have....can you believe it...a hockey rink! My heart was palpitating madly, and I excitedly hurried up to the ...

... center with a fascinating history. Everywhere are archives, libraries, museums and buildings of interest - plus superb examples of modernist and Art Nouveau décor and architecture. The One Thing You Don't Want to Miss While you're in Barcelona, don't miss the Picasso Gallery. Several adjoining 15th-century palaces house a huge collection (over 2,000 pieces) of Picasso's work. Other fun things to do Stroll along ...
