Barcelona theft - Two cents (21 Apr 2013 - 09:45)
Beautiful city but theft is incredibly rampant. Friends were checking into the Ritz Carlton Hotel: husband at counter, wife waiting with luggage, check-in clerk needs to see passports, wife brings passports to counter and returns to luggage but carry-on bags were gone! Thief was caught but luggage was not found or returned. We heard many stories of people in our group being robbed and we were only there a few days.

Disappointment - Albert Islami - Prishtina, Kosovo (3 Jun 2012 - 10:45)
Unexpected unpleasant surprise
I had heard and read so much good things about Barcelona, but I was so much surprised last night (02.06.2012) when, after having landed, I went to take taxi to DOLCE SITGES HOTEL (built in 2004). First, none of the taxi drivers at the front of the row, spoke English (not mentioning German, French, Italian, etc.). I showed the Booking.com reservation and one of them confirmed he would take us to our hotel. Of course, apart from his mother tongue, he did not speak another language. When he asked at the toll station where HOTEL DOLCE SHOULD BE, we were terrified (it was 23.20). As we knew he would not understand us, we stayed calm. He took us to a hotel named "MELIA", although he had our Booking.com reservation on his right side seat. As we reacted, he then continued asking other people and, among others, another taxi driver who just approached our cab. He explained to him where DOLCE should be and then, about 10 min. later we arrived. The final surprise was the price. The taximeter showed a price of 56 EUR, but he said in Spanish (which we understand) we have to pay 73 EUR. So, although you may be very tired after landing in Barcelona or you want to get to your hotel as quickly as possible, DO NOT HIRE A TAXI AT THE AIRPORT BEFORE YOU FIND ONE WHO SPEAKS AT LEAST ENGLISH AND KNOWS WHERE YOUR HOTEL IS.

Le vieux Barcelone , la Sagrada familia ,la Rambla et les petits restos - Denis Bounoure (24 Jul 2011 - 12:31)
En arrivant à Barcelone , on est frappé par l'immensité de la ville,sa propreté et par la gentillesse naturelle des Espagnols à comparer avec la suffisance des Français. La cathédrale, la basilique Santa Maria del Mar (à rapprocher du livre d'Ilfonso Falcones ) et le vieux centre sont majestueux . Non loin au Nord-Ouest la Sagrada familia étonne par son style Art-Déco né de ''l'imagination' de Gaudi sans parler du palais Gaueïl à deux pas de la grouillante et pétulante Rambla qu'il fait si bon le soir de retrouver après avoir flané le lond du centre ville . Barcelone contraste avec nombre de villes françaises par sa langueur, son calme et sa force tranquille , peut-être renforcés par la présence de la mer et les belles plages accessibles facilement par ... métro ! Et les petits restos (les tapas!!) sont excellents et à des prix très doux : messieurs les Français , prenez-en de la graine ! Arriba Espana !!

Alegria de vivir - mirtha.ayala@hotmail.fr (13 Feb 2011 - 09:45)
Visitar Barcelona es hacer la experiencia de ser invadida por la alegria de vivir que se desprende de este enclave de otras dimensiones... muy lejos del penar de este mundo dominado por un sistema social injusto y cada vez màs opresivo...
Hablo como turista. Viviendo ahi... ya no puedo saber.
