If you see a group of people one of them with a cardboard box, 3 glasses and a ball don’t stop!!! It’s a very old swindle but there are still now some people who don’t know it… They’ll try you bet to guess where is the ball, it seems easy but it’s a swindle… The best: don’t stop, sometimes there are “pickpockets” around "working" with them… In the exceptional case you win probably they will hit you in order to recover the money!

Usually just tourists drink sangria here. Really it's not very popular... Moreover the quality of the sangria served in bars and restaurants is really bad, it's a real tourist trap. It is even worst the bottled sangria! Do you know that sangria is coming from the Antilles? Do you know English drank it before Spanish? I suggest you to have some of the excellent wines or "caves" (Catalan champagne) we have instead of sangria.

At Least Do This: At least if you want to try it: prepare it by yourself!!!

Although I went to Hard Rock Cafes in another countries (yes, I'm guilty too) I regreted. I think the only place you can justify going to the Hard Rock is in the USA because you can live the American culture and eat American food there. Unless you are in Barcelona for a long time don't go, try local places with local food. If you are travelling probably is for some reason. Same for Irish pubs.

Alternative: Try local pubs, bars and restaurants. Be mixed with locals, it's plenty of friendly people. You'll have time to meet your compatriots once in your country.

I cannot stand those souvenir shops selling Mexican hats in Barcelona as a supposed local item... It should be banned... ;) But the worst is not the shops... The worst is those ridiculous tourists wearing those hats. Don't be vulgar, don't buy them!! I think it's ok if you are in Mexico but in Barcelona...???...???
