"Weird and beautiful!" Barcelona by mindcrime
Barcelona Travel Guide: 9,441 reviews and 21,469 photos
It was back in 1999 when I visited Barcelona for the first time when I wanted to see the amazing final match of football Champions League between Manchester United and Bayer Munich. I returned in 2009 to explore in a more relaxing way the sights of the amazing city. With 25’C degrees in middle march everything was perfect, nice walking around, great sea food, music and some new local friends. In 2012 we returned to see Bruce Springsteen live at Olympic Stadium.

Your texts and photos brought back great memories of my extended visits to Barcelona (all of which were quite a while ago).
lovely city Don, since 1999 I return again and again... I guess it looked a bit different before the Olympic Games in 1992, especially the area near the port.
hey did you happen to visit Bar del Pi near plaza de Sant Felip Neri? it was my favorite tapas bar in Barcelona!
ha ha Im so nutty that any trip from home into even elsewher in London, let alone out of London ends up with so many photos youd think it was a trip away too!nice page here-have to come back and see it proprly
A really good detailed page I will have to come back to look at the restaurant tips as its now time to get back to work!!
I've never been to Barcelona, but your pages certainly have given me food for thought! I'd esp. love to see the Gaudi church and the Picasso museum. Great photos. Very informative tips.
Lovely page for a lovely city :-) Thanx for sharing!
I thought I didn't miss Barcelona until I've read your page. Curved lines of Gaudi and colors+smells of La Boqueria! What a wonderful page.
A marvelous page and wonderful tips. Takes time to go through them all, but I have saved many. Many thanks for all your efforts!
took a while but i really enjoyed reading your tips through and through,loads of great information, nice pictures as expected. email to follow.
As always, a lots of helpful tips and great pictures! Thanx man
