Barcelona ..where to stay and nightlife
oh oh .. the quality info just keeps on comming thanks !
Last thing.. (I think) : Would you recommend renting a bike to get around in the city ? Or is it impossible to bike around ? Or maybe a scooter ? - Rasmus On 11/09/03 9:58, in article , "Javier Vazquez" wrote: as i'm not working for hotel peninsular, i don't know the prices by heart. ;-) why don't you just call them and ask for it: +34933023138 if you're looking for a good AND cheap choice, then hotel peninsular is a very good choice. i've never been there, but the hostal opera on the same road seems to be an all-time-favourite too (phone +34933188201). anyway...there may be cheaper locations. check it out with the barcelona tourism office, maybe they'll find you a cheaper one: http://www.barcelonaturisme.com/ barcelona totally rules when it comes to good places to eat. :-) the absolute rule number one: DON'T EAT AT THE RAMBLAS! it's overpriced and most of the food sucks. with that in mind, you can't be that wrong. there are tons of good restaurants in barcelona, but my absolute favourite is "tragaluz". beware, it's not cheap! i've just found out they have a website: http://www.grupotragaluz.com/cast/rest1.htm if you're looking for a classic paella, my favourite is "set portes". if've just found out that they've a website too: http://www.7puertas.com ...and yes, it's not a cheap one either. but you asked for good places to eat and not for cheap ones. ;-) anyway...as i allready told you: i really recommend the timeout-guide for barcelona. unluckily i lost mine but be sure that i'll buy one again. have fun! javier Jens Lyn wrote: Dude.. you totally rule !

Would you recommend renting a bike to get around in the city ? Yes, especially biking old town. Or is it impossible to bike around ? No, although itīs not Amsterdam or Copenhagen. Or maybe a scooter ? If you donīt feel like pushing pedals, although I ignore where to rent one. |

if you're from northern europe barcelona definitively isn't a
bicycle-friendly-city by your means! on the other hand there are lots of scooters on the roads. the best thing will be to go there and make yourself a picture. and no, i don't know where you can rent a bicycle in barcelona. ;-) cheers javier Jens Lyn wrote: oh oh .. the quality info just keeps on comming thanks !
