Barcelona

[danhaddad]

General thoughts on the city? Got an offer to go and study a masters there from October.

 

 

Also got a problem trying to find somewhere to live out there.

 

 

Any input much appreciated.

Was thee on two occassions for stas and have to say it wasnt my favourite place in the world. nothing majorly wrong with it as just looking over my shoulder the whole time for fear of being robbed especially going down the main street Los Rambles.

 

There was a nice area called Port Olympico which was good craic.

 

I could be doing the city an injustice but thats my take on it

I just paid for my ma's 50th to go with my step dad and they absolutely loved it. Only let down was it was the weekend UNGERLAND were playing. Full of twats.

One of my favourite european destinations is Barcelona. Loved it when I was there. People were brilliant and loads to see and do.

How did you wrangle a masters offer?

 

When I was inter-railing we stayed on a Barcelona uni campus, i'm sure you could organise to stay in their accomodation (the uni you are going to)

Finished my law degree at Newcastle and decided that I didn't want to be a solicitor. Will be there from October - June, should be a good city to study in, moving abroad is a bit daunting though, as is trying to find a decent flat for around 400 Euros a month....

The most beautiful city I've ever been to. I want to move there when I've finished my degree.

I never felt safe on La Ramblas at night but the dy was great. I was very disappointed by the cathedral (La Sagrada Familia). It looked superb outside but when i paid 8 euros each to look inside a building that was empty apart from one spanish "builder" making so called carved sculptures out of plaster and chicken wire I was very annoyed. And they say its gonna take years to finish! Lazy spanish bastards.

 

The Nou Camp was great, apart from the lack of safety features like walls!

You have to remember though mate, the entry fee and donations are the only ways that the Sagrada is getting money to be built.

 

I was much more annoyed at the price of the Nou Camp tour. It was ace and I had to do the tour but it was such a rip off.

Never felt safe in Barcelona at night. I was really disappointed with that considering some of the dodgy places I've been.

[WaltonRed]

The tour in the Nou Camp is woeful.

 

I did it in 2001 and it was awesome, I went back this year and it was poor beyond belief.
