Barcelona's little secrets!!!????

Question

Hello to all!!

I am going to visit Barcelona next month and I would like to ask where it's worth to go... DO NOT please tell me about Sagrada Familia etc...I' ve already read about these.

I would like to know where should I go for dance, for food...something relaxing and different. Something that shows the real Barcelona..the rythm, the fire. I don't mind if it's in or out. Just good, warm atmosphere, beyond the touristic advices.

Where do the locals go!!!!????

THANK YOU in advance!!!

I changed your category, akroneiro. Nice post, though. But I can't help other than to say I'm a bit envious! - 0057ed01, Jan 10, 2010

Answer 1

I can´t tell you where the natives go, not being one, but I can tell you where I ended up: at a dingy and claustrophobic waiting room at some hospital in the middle of Barcelona, after one of our group had a seizure, brought on by too much insulin.

It turned out the hospital was Hospital de Sant Pau, a UNESCO world heritage site. I only discovered this at 3 in the morning, when I finally wandered out of the emergency room to get some fresh air and stay awake. At that time of the morning, it was beautiful and eery and altogether otherworldly.

Incidentally, the medical care was great, and our friend was fine, but getting the ambulance took forever -- a cab would have been faster.

Enjoy your stay, Barcelona is a beautiful city, no matter where you end up!

Answer 3

You can go into the Barrio Gótico at night and you will feel the heat, the rhythm and atmosphere of the city. There´s a small bar in Plaza Orwell where you can enjoy local warmth.

Answer 5

Thank you for sharing your experiences with me... a little pessimistic though, but...that's life!!!

However, I wish I don't have to explore the nice Hospital...
