There are many bars, clubs, restaurants, touristic stuff and places to visit in Barcelona. I have been here now for almost two weeks and I see new places every day. Here’s a list of some places I visit regularly:
Start your day with a cop of coffee in a Spanish bar. Every morning I go to a small bar next to my school in “Via Laietana“. The coffee is good and cheap (only € 1) and you can also get some sandwiches, croissants or donuts.
For lunch I suggest you go to Princesa 23. The place has a great atmosphere and the food is excellent. You can also have dinner here or just enjoy a nice cocktail. It’s not the cheapest place to go for lunch but for around € 15 you get some real good food.
After lunch you can walk to “Bornet Internet Cafè” in Barra de Ferro (just in front of the Picasso Museum). It’s a small internet cafe where you can plug in your own laptop or use theirs. They play some nice music in the background and you pay 2,80 €/hour for the internet and about € 1,20 for a cafe americano. This internet cafe also is a small gallery, on the walls are paintings you can buy.
In the evening you can go for a cocktail in Q bar. It’s located in Calle Quintana and every day they have a different cocktail for only € 4. This bar has an international staff so don’t be afraid if you can’t speak spanish.
After some cocktails go to a chupito bar because thats always fun. I have been in two bars, el gato negro and a bar close to the port. You pay € 1,80 for a shot and its a lot of fun.

While sitting in the apartment yesterday we were pleasantly surprised by a big parade in our street. I made a short movie to show what La Mercè looks like. After the parade we went to see some live music and we ended up on a big outdoor MTV party.

I finished my first week of school today (Mom & Dad: I went to almost all of my classes). This weekend will be really good because there are big parties everywhere. If you walk in the city center you can see the stages where they will play live music. All this is because of la Fiesta de La Mercè:

I’m in Barcelona right now! I arrived at 14.00h and went straight to the beach with some of my new roommates. Tonight we will probably go for a drink and tomorrow school will start at 09.00h. I’m staying in Carrer de la Portaferrissa like I requested, if you are close to Barcelona in the next few weeks feel free to visit me.

The new DirectMovie.nl (Dutch online movie rental company)Â website went live this morning. I’m now at their office to see how everything is working and it looks good. I really like the flash movie strip on the homepage, this is a great option to start navigating to your favorite movie. Take a look at the website and feel free to give the guys some feedback on the new site.
