Siesta
Oh yes, it is beautiful time of the day. The street, many restaurants. Do not expect the shops open between 2pm and 5pm (many close between 2pm and 4pm). Nevertheless, we feel the need to demystify this urban legend: not everyone is happy with 3 hours nap in the middle of the afternoon. Long lunch with wine and coffee, followed by solo again and again are usually during the middle of the afternoon. “Mañana, mañana.” If you are here, you know what that means. We love them.
Voyager About Town
Taxis are cheap. Flabbergastingly cheap. If you do not know what “flabbergastingly” means … look it up, but know that the taxis are very cheap. Especially when it comes along with 3 other people. But do not expect to find taxis, on a Friday or Saturday evening – it’s impossible! Queues to Plaza Catalunya every 15 minutes to 2 hours on Friday or Saturday evening ..
The buses are easy to operate and move. Nightbus do not often know that getting the bus from the airport to Plaza Catalunya cost 3.65 euros and the average amount of time the journey takes about 25 minutes.
Subway stations are HOT! In summer, they are cooked. The girls have to walk in her bikini head – should be the norm. But the subway even has air conditioning and is usually in the time. And everything is in about half an hour away. A 3 months for persons under 21 years will cost 100 euros, which is excellent. The work on bus and subway. Since more than 21 years, from 112 euros, there is not much difference. Overall, it is inexpensive, reliable and warm. Boiling. And that is all I have to say.
Botellon
Beers in the rod average for the price of 2 euros. Cubattas grows to more than 5 euros. Sorta expensive … So, what is the alternative? Head to your Champion, or Supersol slide and find the cheapest bottle in stock. You can easily a 1.5 L bottle of Cuba Libre (whiskey coke) for less than 3 euros. Each agency should be the ideal setting. Have a few bottles, mixing with the indigenous population and the night … Note: The botellon is illegal (no alcohol in the streets) in Barcelona. Attention to the Mossos – You have been warned!
The ping-pong table
Random is. There are dozens of ping-pong tables around the city of Barcelona, most of which are near the playground in a residential area. And there is a great atmosphere in the spots. If you know how this miracle, demanding, over-competitive Olympic sport, and then stop to ask how the table so you can play. “Ping-Pong” is usually a good group of people who are welcoming you chocolate and beer. You know what I would say. Beware of windy day.
Employment in part -
Relatively easy to find, if you are a Spanish speaker. Even better, if you are talking Catalan.If not, look at the English pub or loquo.com around the Ramblas. Do not expect to be paid so much. A normal 4 \ days of employment in part-you will pay around 300 euros per month (of course, it also depends on the job). In other words, Spain is not the richest country in the world, and therefore you will not be paid, as you would like in other European countries. But even there, where else you can see the sun, such as Fiesta and the Sangria in Barcelona ….?
Prostitute
You are here! In the heart of Barcelona, the flood of the Ramblas (not only) 2 hours later, completely remodel day in Barcelona on the night. If you have a group of boys walking along the Ramblas, it is ensured that at least one of them and ask to enter, quite frankly, if you want sex. Our advice: Run. The most common reason for this is that they are in the pocket to try to your mobile phone or andsteal. Or they fly around and Dodgy there. In any case. You like nothing, but a 50-years old, French businessman frustrated, and the people and to you. I know that I am!
The sale of beer Street
There are dozens of Pakistanis / providers around the Indian beer Bairro Gotico, Raval and Las Ramblas. Remember: they are friends, not your enemies. There is no reason to fear. I have not yet heard a story of people to fly from one beer. They sell beer 1 euro and 5 euro each for a package of 6 If you know how to talk to them, which you will be able to negotiate it 70cents a beer. They swear that they are not part of a mafia. Yet they share beer and change constantly. It is the truth …
Cigarettes and tobacco
Since the first day of the year 2006, an “Anti-tobacco Law” was adopted by the government. But not the obligation, to introduce a smoking ban. Instead, it will be the opportunity to choose whether they smoke or not, and the audience with a band, on the outside of the house. Needless to say that you are smoking almost everywhere. Ciggarettes are cheaper in the shops tobacco ( “tobacco”). The only place to get the cigarette machines in bars and in some kiosks.
