Cookie,

I told Barbie that I discovered a restaurant in the seafront that it's lovely, it's partially owned by El Salero and both share the same chef.
That's a good option for your NYE dinner. I'm considering it and few others... 8) 8)

I can't wait :D

Jamie we'll just kidnap Sil, we'e so good at kidnapping ppl (a la Rach and Bec) so Sil will be no problem :lol: ;)

Right, I'm off to Barcelona in October and need some advice on the best clubs, bars and hotels please? Any other info would be tip top.

Not going to be in Ibiza this year due to the oversized insects. :lol:

Gecko,

October is just fantastic! So chill, so sunny, so nice... ;)
Let me know what you are into for clubs and budget for your hotel and we sort out a nice holidays for you ;)

Clubwise, we're quite lenient, but house mainly.

And the budget for the hotel is cheaper the better really as long as it's where everything is happening roughly.
 
Right,

There's a clean, nice and cheap hostel in the middle of everything. Sync stayed there and he said it was perfect. This is their site (http://www.gataccommodation.com/), Sync stayet @ Gat Raval but Gat Xino has a great location too.

About clubs:
La Terrazzza's closing party is mid october, if you can catch this would be perfect.
Then you have Nitsa, great dj's and concerts, Moog (techno house), Discotheque, City Hall.

Don't expect to find the programation till few weeks before.


Bars: My advice is to just explore the right side (Raval) and the left side (Gotic) of las Ramblas. Also anywhere in El Born, a ver charming area.

they don't accept groups, so Babs, Cookie and CO should come back on their own to enjoy the best tuna steak ever ever in the world.


By the way, congrats to you and sam ;)

I have to agree. If there is a heaven it is Matinee Group Sunday morning at Souvenir. Ridiculous.

It is a 20Euro cab ride from downtown but there are also free buses from Discotheque.

I don't mention Matinée but at least I don't mention Otto Zutz and Maremagnum 8O 8O :roll: 8O :roll:

Moog and Nitsa-Apolo are legendary clubs in the spanish scene. If you liked Otto I can understand why you didn't like Moog

Thanks silvia. First time in Barcelona for us.

Gecko, there's lots of posts in here about Barcelona, with recomendations about bars and restaurants.

When you know your exact dates I can look for you what will be going on on each club.

don't care if a club is "hype" or not.
enjoy more the house played @ oto zutz(it was free,found some pass along ramblas avenue...) this day than @ moog that played some sketchy house :x this day (seems moog was pretty cool there bcoz u can smoke some pod but it' ain't my thing to take drugz... :lol: )
i've been to maremagnum coz my 2 m8 wanted to pull some chicks & they had :lol:
if i go back to barcelona will do all matinée parties & maybe terraza & pacha depending on wich dj will play or anyplace wich spain djs i enjoy(dimas,simon garcia& karim shaker,sergio serrano,julian poker,cesar del rio,inaky garcia ect...all djs from stereo prod,beatfreak,morbido rec...).

Next time I wouldn't bother with OTTO, it's a cool venue but it's the kind of places where you go to see and be seen and 90% of the crowd don't really care about the music ;)
Maremagnum was done for that reason, so mission acomplished ;)
You should consider City Hall and Nitsa in your next trip ;)
 
Barcelona!!!

Pablo, you have a fast ferry from balearia (www.balearia.net), slow ferries and plane.

Here's a link of a post I wrote last year, there's lots of info about bars and restaurants. Try to go to La Terrazza friday night

Have fun!
 
thanks sylvia :D

can't seem to find the link though :?

banys oriental looks cool, we'll try to book
