Why Do Engineering Clubs

second round in Barcelona it was September and sal ...

[** Inglese version is coming **]

Here, as indeed almost everywhere these days, everything is whitened by the snow, while Barcelona were sixteen degrees !
Sixteen degrees and sunset at 18.30 in mid-December! 'S official, I was born in the country wrong.

My pc has finally made peace with the Pentax, so now I make a tea to revive the frozen fingertips and go with the long-awaited story of the weekend.
I know how I make millions of photos ... I had to make a selection and hope that you will enjoy this virtual trip.
(the comment above each photo)

The bus made us get off at Placa Catalunya in the heart most "commercial" in Barcelona, \u200b\u200bwhere are all the famous shops and where you take the Rambla, which then reaches the sea .
A confirmation that it was September, the trees still have leaves almost green!


a while I felt I did not mossa da Venezia con tutti quei piccioni...su certe cose tutto il mondo è paese!


Per il primo pranzo, essendo che ormai era tardi e in una zona così tipicamente turistica con poche probabilità ci sarebbe stato un buon posto dove mangiare spagnolo, abbiamo optato per l'hard rock cafè, che in ogni città è una tappa obbligatoria ormai.


I padroni del b&b erano eccezionali, uno aveva vissuto qualche anno a Londra perciò parlava inglese, e lui e mr.P si sono intesi fin troppo bene...hanno chiacchierato per più di un'ora e ci mancava poco che dovessi trascinarlo fuori!
Però ci abbiamo guadagnato una serie di invaluable advice on what to see in a weekend and especially on where to eat and drink without being inchiappettare. Places even a little rustic place where one should be short. In fact, Barcelona is one of the most tourist towns I've visited, and probably without their advice not so good places we'd never found.

Our party is the evening stroll along the Ramblas from Placa Catalunya to the sea.
It 's a typical tourist area, but in its way, well-lighted, with many stalls, bars with outside tables and waiters who call you, and street performers of various kinds.



Even the waterfront in the evening è molto suggestivo (notare come nonostante il sereno non ci fosse una sola stella in cielo!).


Sabato è stata la volta della Sagrada Familia, forse la cosa più famosa di Barcellona, che in effetti è molto particolare ma che purtroppo perdeva un pò perchè era in ristrutturazione e aveva tutte le impalcature intorno.



Immancabile sosta al negozio ufficiale dell'FC Barcelona per mr.P. mentre per me Starbucks tutta la vita.
E poi diretti a Barceloneta, il vecchio quartiere dei pescatori, per una paella che mi ha lasciato sazia fino alle 9 di sera, altro ottimo consiglio dei ragazzi del b&b.


At sea in the area of \u200b\u200bPort Vell who was bathed in costume because it was good ... I felt a little seen with my coat in my hand!
There seemed kind of a beach from the movie American modern promenade, palm trees, lots of people rollerblading or skateboarding on the banks and skyscrapers.

Then we moved to the area of \u200b\u200bBorn, the fashion district, near the Arc de Triomphe and a park called Jardines de la Ciudadela, with the zoo and a castle very special.


After a short break (Starbucks!!) Because my legs were beginning to bear no more, the day ended with a ride to Placa Espanya (city center in an economic sense) and the Montjuic Park, which is huge and unfortunately what we have seen only a part.
The view was very impressive because it was sunset and we saw a part of the city from above.

for dinner and after dinner the place is still local. Some tapas, which would be a kind of cicchetti but if you try them all it ends up that INEC, patatas bravas, which is diced potatoes fried in a spicy sauce a little spicy. And then other things that I took a chance and that I do not remember the name:)
Also on this thing I felt a little bit at home because there is so much the culture of beer or sangria cicchetti many more ... and the sangria is ... a lot more good boy told me that it is because unlike here there cut it with the port, I mean I do not know but that was good!
Another guy then told us that these patatas bravas, despite being one of their most famous dishes, there is no official recipe. Then you can change any premises in the same city and even find them completely different.

In the remaining time we had a quieter ride, looked at a few stores (just because of the famous shopping bag in pounds) and then we left.
I greet you with this "self-timer pending sunset" on Placa de Espanya and I hope you enjoyed this tour much anticipated (and you're still awake!).
Kisses:)
