Carpe Diem In Barcelona

What we’re up to… on October 30, 2009 11:02 am

Checking out the Tattoo Convention in Hospitalet – it was great to see the work of tattooists from all over the world. You could even take advantage and get your own done by one of the best as they passed through Barcelona. – Noelia

Mushroom picking – the season has arrived, so we need to make the most of it! This is a great way to spend the day in the country with your friends collecting one of the most typical of Catalan delicacies. But take care and make friends with someone who knows how to spot the poisonous ones. The Begues area can be a great spot to go picking. – Sandra

The Red Bull Air Race – this was a great event with loads of people crowding the beaches sunbathing and watching the aerial acrobatics. It was thrilling stuff. And then of course we finished the day with food in Barceloneta. – Tu My

Bowling, Shots and Karaoke – the perfect mix. How about a bit of bowling at the bowling alley near Pacha, shots at the very original Chupito Speed (Click Here for map) and then finish the evening off with karaoke at A Viva Voz? - Victor

Spa Aire de Barcelona – On Friday I went with my mum to a lovely spa close to Arc de Triomf. It’s very relaxing with candles everywhere and a 15 minute massage included. I will definitely visit again!   -  Kelsey

I am such a regular at the Xampanyeria that I decided instead to try a visit to the Xampanyet located on Calle Montcada 22; recommended for its tapas, reasonable prices and good atmosphere (thanks Nath!). They make their own cava (not to be missed) and their tapas are really good including my favourite: peppers and cheese (pimiento con queso). – Pierre

Visited the Medieval Fair in Plaza España – lots of stalls selling food, clothes and crafts etc. and just to complete the atmosphere everyone was dressed in typical medieval garb. – Paul
