I was on my way to Barcelona and made a quick jaunt to the Sagrada Familia, a church designed by Gaudi, to get a few photos. I had reservations a one of the five star Barcelona hotels and I found it to be very nice. I had dinner at the hotels restaurant after I got all settled in my room. After dinner, I headed into central Barcelona for a walking tour. I fully agreed with my walking tour guide that this tour is definitely much better in the evening. Very haunting and beautiful, the history of the city is staggering. I didn’t to bring my camera with me because I headed to a couple of bars, and I didn’t relish the idea of losing my very expensive camera due to inebriation.
The first bar I stopped off at was cute, called “Fairy Bar.” It was pretty small and my tour guide described how he thinks the decor happened. A fairy threw up all over the building, covering it with fairy lights and greens of every shade. This bar has the ‘free pour’, which is so much better than those English pub control pour. Here the bartenders don’t even measure the shots! That’s the best way to keep customers as far as I’m concerned. The only thing lacking at this bar was the music. They really need a DJ. I ended up meeting these great Italian guys, they were so much fun! They ended up hanging out with our walking tour group all night, which only made me laugh the entire time. It was great to meet people who like to party as much as I do!
The second bar, was a club, which was a blast, I ended up dancing all most every song. I was being hit on by every Spaniard guy, it seems tourists are like a drug for them. I mostly just danced with the walking tour group, to play it safe. The club, though, really needs to clean their restrooms more often. Pretty disgusting.
Needless to say, I slept in that morning! I must say, by all means, take a walking tour in the evening! It’s so much fun!
