Barcelona 07

.

...Some people say that Barcelona is the best city to party unless you are a rich bitch, then its St. Tropez...I agree with them...Barcelona is the THE place for party..During the day, the city is beautiful at its coast with an artificial made beach and surrounded by blueish water and its killing view over Barceloneta. & Port Vell.

The catalans sure have its magnificent history and have the right to brag about it...a City filled with monuments, historical buildings and last but not least :the Gaudi's work..from La Sagrada Familia to Casa Mila and Gaudi's park located a bit far out from the central. At Barri Gothic area, you can't miss out on the Cathederal..unfortunely its was under renovation so we couldn't get a clear view over the whole church...my personal favorite is still Casa Batilo..

For 5 days..we went through all the tourist sightseeing places there are there..even up to Montujic mountain where we were close getting mugged and beaten.! .luckily the adrenalin kicked in and got away safetly...lots of thieves always stalling on the tourists, especially in Ramblas area...The first day we accidently walked out a block from Ramblas and suddenly got to catalan Harlem....saw a guy shooting up junk on his forearm behind a car we walked past!!!! ....then my friend told me, i am not ever ever again suppose to go there again...and you are damn right i never went there again..

Our trip consisted of No good sleep, but continuation of partying during the nights and sightseeing during the days and eating good good food...mm..Tapas....Liked the clubs like Pacha and Catwalk and Club Bikini..bcos they were spinning hip hop and rnb some nights in the week...Barcelona music is house...there was also this club who opened at 7 in the morning till afternoon...that is what i call party! Thnx to my dear friend Rani, who was living there for a year or so, we met some wonderful wonderful people who took care of us and made our staying one of the best trip of my life..In Barca (what we swedish calls it), you do not have to look good or dress good or be pretenious..bcos they only thing they will reject you both in clubs and daily life is that you wear the wrong shoes...hahahaa..hilarious huh? 

...A good restaurant i remember we went to was La Fonda near Ramblas....serving such good catalan food: fresh sauted swordfish with a creamy sause to it and their apetitzers was a killer: Goat cheese sallad with their own special made marinade...the wine was exceptional good..didnt like wine but learned to enjoy drinking it over there.. We went to the most mindblowing bars, some haiwaii themed bar serving tikka pints of drinks with fog releasing from it..got 1 meter straws drinking from it...The underground cave bar serving fruit daiquries with cards as mat...the best one is probably the MILK BAR..remember that name!! serving absolutely the best best martini..tried the La Leche Martini; coffee as the distinguishing ingredient...

..peace n Luv
