Smoke crack at Turbo Island
Or at the very least, start a bin fire.
One ideally would lead to the other.
Does anyone have any connections for places to stay in Barcelona? I’m there at the moment while my wife does an art residency for the month but our accommodation has just fallen through for the last two weeks. Got a sick dog with us who needs to stay relatively relaxed so need a whole place rather than a room ideally.
Nightmare mate, I’ve got no mateys living there at the mo but @nedertron might still know people?
Yer man, erm a whole place? I can put some feelers out. How long for?
Ideally whole place yea, the dogs pretty fragile so we’re hoping to find somewhere calm. 16-31st ideally.
I’ve not been here in almost a decade and It’s got so expensive to rent anything so hoping we can just find a sublet and avoid the Airbnb markup becuse none of this trip was planned and really can’t afford it.
Yer it’s expensive.
Let me message my mate Alan and see if he knows anyone. Not sure how much help I can be man. Will try.
Cheers, I think potentially we are sorted but it’s not 100% yet
Ok so yes in a million years of skating I have never been to Barcelona.
Finally going 2 days before my mates staying at Hotel Catalonia Putxet Barcelona
Any and all advice appreciated, cheers
Leaving for first time Barca trip in a week, any last minute tips recommendations much appreciated. There for 4 nights end of August artive Wednesday PM return flight departs Sunday around 1300. Cheers.
Pre-book (if you still can) any touristy bits you want to do - Sagrada Fam etc - otherwise you will queue for hours!
This goes for any city break tbf.
Watch your pockets and keep your head screwed on in the touristy areas.
It can get super sketchy late night near Ramblas.
Beach day is a must!
I love Barca. Been several times on skate trips, with the Mrs and last Summer with the family for a week.
I think you have my number?
Message me where you are staying and will give you lots of cool shit to do
Go look at the church don’t pay.
Don’t go to Barceloneta beach go further up to Llacuna (spelling)
Anyway message me mate ![]()
Personally, I thought the inside of the church was incredible. Never seen anything like it!
Yeah I have to agree with that. The inside of the Sagrada is probably the most amazing structure/thing I’ve ever seen. I couldn’t compute it.
Mrs G always books our tours/queue jumps through Via Tours. Have used them in Rome, Venice, Florence, Amalfi Coast, Barcelona and every time it’s been excellent. Highly recomend if you want to go full tourist mode for an afternoon!
