I'm finally catching back up after a long weekend in Barcelona. We left montpellier at 7:30am, and arrived around 1:00pm. As we came out of the metro at the Plaza de Espana, one of the first things I noticed was all of the bikers and their motorcycles parked everywhere. As it turns out, the Barcelona Harley Davidson festival was going on. We walked through and I had a delicious grilled chorizo and onion sandwich, then we checked into our hotel nearby. We proceeded to go to the church in Barcelona and to Las Ramblas, which is the main street for shopping/restaurants/bars.
As everyone else took an afternoon nap, I diligently searched for a good restaurant to go to(since the front desk was not helpful at all). I found a place called El Callejon, which was great. We then made our way to Espit Chupitos, which is a shot bar that has a huge menu of several hundred shots(at only 2 euro each). It was extremely crowded, so after we tried a couple of shots, we decided to leave to go to the club. We arrived to Razzmatazz around 2am, which is when everyone is still arriving to the club. The place was huge, with several different rooms, each with a different style music. The picture below is the big dance room.
After a few hours we retired back to the hotel, finally going to sleep at 5:30am. On Saturday, we got up and going after noon, and made our way to the beach. Aside from vendors walking up every minute to sell beers, tattoos, souvenirs, etc., the beach was fun. It was packed, but we managed to find a large spot for our group. I also very much enjoyed lunch(with sangria) at a restaurant on the beach.
At 11:00, we arrived to a tapas bar for dinner. As a whole it was good, but there were some dishes that stood out more than others. After a walk that turned out to be longer than expected, we went to a club that was more local. It played house music, meaning it was basically a continuous stream of upbeat songs, all of which had no words and were electronic. Needless to say, the music got a little old, so we called it an early night at 3:30.
Sunday we browsed around this cool mall before we had to leave, but unfortunately nothing was open.
Here was a good view from the train ride back.
