Had one of the best dining experiences of my life at Cerveceria Catalana. Everything was amazing and not that expensive!

Man I am sure you are going to have the best fun. I am sure everyone there will be partying after winning the treble this season!

I'm glad you liked Jai-ca de4k! Funny how there are no menus with prices to be read, but they don't rip you off. We had different bills for the same stuff on different days, but never anything high.
Their food is great: "fried stuff, mostly seafood", but it really works.I am actually going there in a week, hope to finally go to Xampanyet paraselene keeps recommending for years. I know where it is, passed by it a few times. I couldn't find Cafe Universal in Boqueria last time though.
- Yeah I just went in and pointed at things inside, random fried stuff, awesome.de4k

Excellent thread. I'm going on a cruise with my wife that starts in Barcelona next Wednesday. We'll be there for 2 days.
Can't wait. Anything special going on next week?

protips:
1. stay away from the ramblas (go in the day and walk them and you've seen enough)
2. don't buy a mexican hat, mexico != barcelona

WATCH OUT FOR PICKPOCKETS!

Bad experience Milan?
I actually saw a woman getting robbed, or people reporting robbery to the police. Just be vigilant, try not to pull out the wallet on the street (good to have some change in your pocket), keep your camera locked or wrapped tightly to your wrist.
Don't get too paranoid though, this might ruin your stay...
These rules apply to anywhere, not only BCN of course.
