Barcelonaaaaa...

The city of my dreams. Or so it was until 2 months ago…
But I kept complaining these last months so much, I never let you in on the bright side. Of course there is a bright side. There always is. Even in Barcelona :P.
So- top 5 things I actually enjoyed in the past 60 days.
No. 5
The metro that comes every 2 minutes at rush hours and every 10 minutes the WHOLE SATURDAY NIGHT!
I can conclude this point with the statement that Barcelona has a kick ass common transportation system (not as good as Vienna’s though).
No. 4
The fact that your neighbors always say hello, even if you never saw them before. Oh, and the bus drivers too! That is so cute… And they’re fit, and dressed properly. Such rare attributes for Romanian bus drivers…
No. 3
Big Bang Club! It may sound big, but it’s actually tiny, it sounds Bang, and it is . My favorite little place in Barcelona, where the beer costs 3.50, the bartender speaks English, there are little live events almost every evening, and they have rock and roll, swing and jazzy music to shake your ass and twist like a crazy 60’s teenager until 3.00 a.m. Then you can go home and sleep a happy person.
No. 2
The Merce! You might ask “Why isn’t that No.1?”. Or just “WTF is Merce?”. In order of importance: Merce is the fiesta of Barcelona. That means the whole city goes CRAZY, and everything happens everywhere in the same time. That’s my problem. That is why it’s not No. 1. They have huge bands playing live in plazas with no admission fee, they have giants walking the streets, fireworks, circus, human towers, and last but not least: PIROMUSICAL!!! That is the famous fountain in Plaza Espanya waving it’s water on music, synchronized with amazing fireworks.
I must mention the Merce is one weekend long, starting 24th of September (from my knowledge that is).
No. 1
Fiesta del Barrio! That, my friends, is a smaller scale Merce, and thus my personal favorite. Awesome little concerts, in tiny plazas, traditional products market, people dancing, having fun, cheap beer and a light atmosphere. Just sit back and enjoy the ride, as they say .

Now the hard thing is finding out about all of these. I know how it feels when you find out about something you REALLY wanted to go to, just half an hour after it finished. So, my friends, try to stay connected.
