Business trip to Barcelona

Posted by Alexa17 29 January 2010

A week ago I went to Barcelona for a business trip. It was unusually cold for Barcelona, but nevertheless beautiful as always. For the first time we rented an apartment as we thought we would be much more comfortable as everyone would have a room, but at the same time could have a place to sit and plan the meetings together without having to go in a separate room like in a hotel and it was a great experience. We were lucky enough to find well located apartment with wireless internet and phone. Definitely thinking of renting apartment for family holiday as well now! Besides, tapas were incredible as well as the nightlife. It is nice to go to a bar and have some tapas with cerveza or clara after spending the day in the meeting room. Had a chance also for a quick sales shopping! Barcelona never disappoints!

Obama Bar

Posted by Frankfishless 27 January 2010

I recommend a quick drink and a bit to eat with the kids in the Obama Bar in Barcelona. We were walking around in the rain looking for a nice place to have a drink, and by luck we came across the Obama Bar, just days before he was elected!

Barcelona Art and Design Courses

Posted by Summersup 16 January 2010

I recommend these summer courses as a great way to study creative art and design subjects in Europe, across two of the most exciting and dynamic cities, offered by Central Saint Martins and Elisava - two of the most prestigious schools.

a handy website

Posted by Franmarco 14 January 2010

When in Barcelona I frequently use the site of a local English language magazine there called Metropolitan. They always have up-to-date information about current exhibitions, music and clubs, dance and theatre plus they also have an excellent restaurant guide as well. Great insiders knowledge from people who have lived in the city and know the best places to go.
