Food / Drink: 2 sugars
  • Tip Rating:
  • I use to have my coffees very sweet. Here in madrid they always put U 1 sugar with the coffee.
    So in BCN I was very pleased to find that coffee comes usually with 2 pieces of sugar, so I didin't have to ask for another :-)))
    Besides, the milk is always creamy and foamy here, "capuccino" style...

    Churches: Candles
  • Tip Rating:
  • When you enter in the Cathedral you will find at your left a lot of red candles with a few texts in each group of them.
    They are offered to certain saints asking for some favours and prays.
    People buy the candle in a nearby counter, and light the candle to the saint they choose.
    They make a very aesthetic image in those dark gothic churches...

  • Send Photo to a Friend
  • Being a graphic designer myself I pay atention to this kind of things. BCN is really a trandy city in this aspec, you will find many exhibitions, studies, agencies, and the best spanish graphic design come from this city, I must admit.

    You will notice that in the exhibitions posters, leaflets... and in many cool shops.

     Barcelona sounds to be a lovely city! I'm really looking forward to my first visit there later this year. Great tips!

     You've missed to mention the 13 geese of Santa Eulallia. For me, they were the cutest surprise in the Gothic Quarter!

     Seems to be the square of the final scene of "The Perfume", where Jean-Baptiste Grenouille perfumes himself so irresistible that he's been eaten up by the people at the place.
