Barcelona Information Thread

[allan harper]

Whereabouts you spotting these places mate? My hostel is in the gothic quarter and I've found nowhere that cheap. Had a full walk of la rambla and all the back streets and found nothing that cheap. Just went in a tobacconist and bought a sic pack of San Miguel for 3€ and sat in my room!

Another heads up blues that haven't arrived yet, if you are getting a cab from the airport they will rip you off. Not sure if it's similar to the 'extras' in black cabs in Manchester but my taxi driver told me 15-20 euros to my hotel, it hit €27 by the time I arrived so I thought what the hell I'll let him have it, turns out the final price was €45, he had some kind of hidden charge of €18, due to his poor grasp of the English language I couldn't argue the toss despite my lack of trying. Get the aerobus, drops you off on la rambla IIRC and definitely won't cost you €45, if it does I will never complain to stagecoach Manchester again.

Thanks for the taxi info, will be getting that T-10 ticket for sure! For that price of a taxi you get a t-10 ticket for all 6 zones, cheers bud


Oh and get out of your room and go and find some blues!!!

I'll be trying pal don't worry, too young for the 'drinking on my own' bollocks!

Tracy and aload of blues are in the wild rover pub (I know!) not far from you mate

Tried to buy a ticket on barca website but will not take credit or debit cards presumably as UK based . As suggested tried ticketmafter.es but all ground "greyed out" . Anyone any idea if there are still tickets and how to get them ! Cheers<br /><br />-- Mon Mar 10, 2014 5:25 pm --<br /><br />Tried to buy a ticket on barca website but will not take credit or debit cards presumably as UK based .

A lad just tweeted it's a bit cold in the evening and said not best for shorts.

The Wild Rover is indeed accommodating.

Head down blues, the owner is sound with us being here.

Anyone found any cheap bars yet? I've heard you can get a beer for €1-€2 in the back-streets

I'm stuck in Cumbria and in no way jellous :(

La Rambla stalls want id. That's a no go unless you've got a non UK passport.

After the disappointment of yesterday which is still fucking grating me, I've now packed ready for my flight from Stansted, whether we win or lose this will be my last big blowout of the season (unless it goes to last game of season again). I'm like a bloody kid at Xmas, City are playing Barcelona in the Nou Camp in the Champions League does it get any better?

I would just hold on if I was you, we WILL beat them and we will go through. when we draw Madrid in the next round you will be there, as I will :)
