BARCELOOOONNNAAAA!!!

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

Seems I'll be there for a few nights this time Wednesday. :D

Any good watering holes to recommend?
If I told them once, I told them a hundred times to put 'Spinal Tap' first and 'Puppet Show' last.

There was much discussion about that elusive absinthe bar a while back...

Er.. try the Gothic quarter :lol:
Nightlife

The most popular nightclubs are within walking distance of each other down by the harbour area, in Port Olímpic and Maremàgnum. The variety is endless. You'll find places playing techno, salsa, rock, Spanish pop music and more.

Drinks with a Taste of History

There are other lively districts with bars and clubs worth visiting, like Barri Gòtic (Gothic Quarter), La Ribera and Gràcia.

You'll find traditional, old-fashioned bars and cafes as well as trendy, modern places with stylish interior decor, like Glaciar in Plaça Reial. Karma is a popular discoteque. The Malpaso offers good music and art exhibitions. Nearby, you'll also find Sidecar and a selection of good pubs on Calle Escudellers on your way into the well-known Plaça George Orwell. For pure Modernist style, inside and out, try El Ascensor.


Gothic District

If you want to sit outside and enjoy an impressive view with your drinks, try the square that looks on to Santa Maria del Mar, Plaça del Pi or Sant Felip Neri, all located in the Barri Gòtic (Gothic Quarter).

Cheers.
