Barcelona

Tar.Aldarion

We are going there in a few weeks for 7 nights.
So far I know we should get the t10 at the airport and be using that for travel. Plan on heading to Park Güell, as well as a water park for a day (any recommendations? Illa Fantasia?)

Any other ideas on what to do or where to go? Pubs/clubs? Attractions apart from Gaudi? If anybody had any nice veggie food there, let me know!


Also, beach recommendations? Or anything to avoid?
We want to be swimming every day!

There's already a few recent threads here and in Travel. Do a quick search. I've posted in them so you have an extra filter if you choose.

Here's some additional veggie info I'm putting together for my own trip in 6 weeks.

Govindas, Plaça de la Vila de Madrid, 4 off the Ramblas up from Cr de Ferran

Moaz, Cr de Ferran opp My Bar

Juicy Jones, Carrer del Cardenal Casañas, 7 - half way between the 2 above

¿Lleva carne o pescado o jamón? = Does is contain meat, fish or ham?
Soy vegetariano = I'm vegetarian (male)
Soy vegano = I'm vegan (male)
No como pescado = I don't eat fish
No como marisco = I don't eat seafood
No como carne = I don't eat meat
No como productos animales = I don't eat animal products

Thanks for that! Been reading them now. Good stuff. Catbar seems like a great veggie restaurant too. 3 course meal and drink for 10.50, and it looks nice.

Are there a lot of waterparks that are good? Does anybody know which is the 'best?'

I was thinking Illa Fantasia. Did anybody go to any of these? I see if I book online on their site I get 10% off...do you think you would get a better deal jsut by being in the city though? Or perhaps something online with the train from barcelona included?

this seems to include the bus...http://www.viator.com/tours/Barcelona/Illa-Fantasia-Water-and-Theme-Park-Tickets-with-Shuttle/d562-2140FANTASIA
is that for that site online or is there always a free bus from barcelona?

Ye my dad was to one who kept telling us to watch out with our money, we were just leaving the stadium when he felt something on his back..he asked us if there was anything there and it was covered in what looked like bird sh1t. Next thing a guy just walks by and says he will show my dad where the bathroom was. Very respectable looking middle aged guy. Next the guy filled the sink with water and as my dad took off his shirt to clean off the dirt the guy started dabbing the stains on the bottom of my dads trousers. My dad comes out of the bathroom and says ''that guy was very friendly'' and we walked off. 10 minutes later my dad takes out his wallet to find it empty.
