    Hi Ella

    The whole city is an attraction! Check out the Bus Turistic (Tourist Bus) for an overview of the city. There are two routes that take in all the major monuments and attractions and you can get on and off as often as you like, and with the ticket you also get discounts on admissions to museums etc. Go to the Tourist Information Office in plaça Catalunya for more details. Absolutely don't miss the Gaudí buildings (Sagrada Familia, La Pedrera, Casa Batlló, and the Park Güell.
    The Rambla is a bit tacky nowadays but walk down to the Boquería market which is amazing.
    That's just for starters.

    Hi Ella,

    Welcome to the Absolute Spain Forum, I hope you enjoy your stay with us.

    When in Barcelona, like Valerie says, don't miss the Gaudi buildings! I also recommend a walk down by the Maremagnum and Barceloneta... And if you are not scared of heights, take the cable car from the port up to Miramar.... Impressive!

    Spanish Property 2012


    hi all,


    I would like to advice you to visit Sitges, it is famously a 'gay-friendly' resort town, with a number of beaches that cater for gay people to a greater or lesser extent. Most are what would be called 'mixed' beaches, where gay and straight couples hang out together and others are seen as being more exclusively 'gay', where few straight couples go. There are no regulations enforcing these divisions, it is just the way things have evolved over the years. There is a number of nudist beaches in Sitges

    a)Playa De Las Balmins is the mixed nudist beach in Sitges.
    b)There is another gay nudist beach in Sitges at Cala del Home Mort.
    c)Clothing is optional at Platja Sant Sebastia and Platja d'Aiguadolc too.

    Note that, in theory, any beach in Spain can be a nudist beach. Nudist beaches 'evolve' through precedent. Secluded beaches become nudist beaches as people start to strip off. The other side of this coin is that at, on a very quiet day, it is possible that you may arrive and there are nudists there, but a family enjoying a (clothed) day at the beach. Respect those around you and think before you take your speedos off.

    Food - i liked a restaurant "ATIC" on Las Ramblas, very good dishes by not high price

    Food &Restaurans in Barca - i liked a restaurants:

    • La Fonda Escudellers, carrer dels Escudellers
    • Les Quinze Nits, Plaça Reial 6
    • Los Caracoles, carrer dels Escudellers

    Spain makes a lot of good wine - not just Rioja and Cava
