Question.

Anyone.

Area off the tourist map that is good for bars and cheaper.

Fancy geting lost in Barcelona and finding some hidden gem bars frequented by locals, with music, etc, to boot.

A bit like our Northern Quarter before it became commercialized.

OK

The bars on or just off the La Rambla are a rip off. Trust me lads . PLease

head to an area called paral·lel /map to be posted* ( its very near ) also from here its very easy to get to the station of Les corts near camp nou ) Bars around there will be 1.50 estrella / 1.2 san meiguel


for 330ml estrella and 2.50 a pint. Tapas in the form of Patatas bravas 1euro to 3 for a big plate,

if you want cheap beer please dont go to the irish bars... look for normal local ones.. most these days been taken over by asiasins and chiense they tend to also give you free food depends were you are ...

Finally read every post and reached the last page of this thread (I had me tea and did the washing up in between), am now a lot more clued up for next week.

Many many many thanks to everyone who provided info and decent links to websites for more info. I really appreciate it.

See you there.

I hope you have made notes.

Yes, 7 pages of notes.

What's the shopping like ????

Come on Ali, don't lower the tone ;-)

Its not that bad a question. I need to find somewhere near to shops and bars. So the missus can go shopping whilst I wait for her in a bar

We are staying and drinking near paral -lel , the designated away pub brigade on here will not listen and head straight for the Irish bars and every rip off shit hole on the Ramblas.

I stayed in Tarragona a couple of years ago and really liked the place. There was a nice restaraunt in placa de la font and a few (including a great steak place) on Rambla Nova. I don't envy your walk up the hill from the train station mate.
