For young people Barcelone is reputedly wonderful The Gaudi cathedral is an ongoing work, if you like paying for visiting buildingsites. It's quite stunning actually, but DON"T PAY to go in! If you like fairytale houses, heavily decorated you will love the Gaudi part of town. If you're hard up, like me you will get exhausted, walking miles and being ripped off for every cup of coffee. The waiters in Barcelona sem to have trained in France. Policemen will approach you and tell you to keep your handbag very close to yourself before you get robbed. On the beach, massage will be ofered for 10 euros but the police will approach before you've even had 2 minutes worth. I'm sure many other peole will claim Barcelona to be wonderful and maybe it is, I can only say I have fared better elsewhere.! I put up a photo to show you that the building site windows are stunning and the place si wortha vistit, only, hold on to your wallet.
I have been to Barselona 2 years ago, and now it;s my favourite city in the world! I visited not many places as I wanted, but I saw Sagrada Familia, some Gaudi's buildings, visited museum of Picasso, was walking along Rambla and Plaza de Catalunia...The most amazing remenisces are about night Barcelona... It has been worth to see indeed!
Yes I have recently returned from a trip to Spain where i stayed in a lovely 3*** hotel in Calella as part of a package holiday -flight included of course !

I met up with a group of other Christians and took a flight to Barcelona airport .The holiday was great despite varying weather conditions Yes, it rained quite a lot but it was October with average temperatures being around 20- 22o c so what could you expect?. Next time I will travel in August as I much prefer the hotter temperatures

I visited the Gaudi Cathedral on the last full day of the holiday. I went to Barcelona on the train with a group of 4 other people. We travelled from Calella to Barcelona - it took just over an hour - and arrived at Placa de Catalunya (Esp; ''Plaza de Cataluña''.) then took the Metro to Sagrada Familia.All of the signs and names are in Catalan with Spanish being given second then English third.
There was a long queue so only two of our group were willing to wait in the queue the two girls went shopping lol what more can I say?
Jim went to look around Barceona and Andrew and I waited in the queue for around half an hour before arriving at the front. There was a sign in Spanish saying that the lift was closed with a picture to make it clear for non Spanish speaking tourists. It had been raining
We had a look inside the place it was massive and very interesting! My only regret is that access to the towers was restricted to the builders because of teh inclement weather because of the rain There were lots of people inside and it was worth entering. I took some photos of the building mainly the stain glass windows
I may write an update later
To your question I must answer:Barcelona is a Lovely City!!! Beautiful!!! I visited the city two years ago with my school and we enjoyed it very much! La Rambla is a very lively street and it leads you straight to the port...Gaudi's architecture is magnificent...I mean Sagrada Family is pure perfection and Park Guell is, oh so cool...I wish we had a similar park in Athens... I even watched a Barchelona VS Español football game and it was fun...Camp Nou is huge!!!! We went to PortAventura, a fun park in somewhat close distance and we visited Dali's museum...What a fun, weird and exciting museum... The old town is nice too... One of the best memories for me and my classmates! I would definatelly revisit it and suggest a trip to Barchelona to the ones I know!! If you are thinking it, Stop and book a flight!! Oh,I almost forgot: Paella is super tasty! ![]()
