Spain: City of Barcelona - Part 3

- El bosque de las hadas: The forest of the fairies. Enter this place and you feel like you’re in a fairytale. The authentic decoration in this bar and atmosphere makes you feel magical.

– La Terrazza: An outdoor club with an open rooftop on the mountain of Montjuic. Dance all night underneath the stars and enjoy some good house music.

Beach clubs: Most tourists go to the clubs next to the commercial beach such as opium, CDLC, Shoko, … It’s nice to check them out for once but the best clubs you find more in town such as Kerr, Jamboree, La Terrazza, …

– W hotel: This is the big hotel on the beach in the shape of a sail. They organize fancy parties on the 26th floor. You need to be on a list to get in and wear fancy clothes and high heels (for the girls). Just go there for the amazing view.

SHOPPING

– There are a lot of good places to shop but my favorite neighborhood is ‘El Gotico’. You’ll find vintage and local shops as well as commercial stores. The more expensive street and good for window shopping is in Avinguda Diagonal in ‘Eixample’.

GETTING FROM AND TO THE AIRPORT

Getting from the airport into the city center is easy and cheap. Most tourists take the blue aerobus but you can also just take the public bus like the locals. It takes maybe five minutes longer (+- 25min) but it’s way cheaper (only 2, 30 euro). When you get out of the airport (terminal 2) you just go right and walk to the bus stop which says ’46 centro’. Buses come every 10 minutes and brings you to Plaça Español where you can take the subway to everywhere else. It’s bus 46 and it’s red, you can’t miss it. There is also one that goes to the other terminal of the airport but you just jump on the one that says ‘centro’. If you want to get back to the airport you can also take this bus 46 back at Plaça Español. If it’s nighttime you go to Plaça Catalunya and take the nightbus N17 to go to the airport. Don’t believe cab drivers if they say that there is no night bus cause there is, they just want your money. Alternatively, arrange a hire car, which you can always ue to tour outside the main city. You can drive up the hills for a panoramic view of Barcelona.
