About me:

Hi there, I just want to give my 'point of view' about my review for related stuff. Hope I can help....

I went to Barcelona in the beginning January 2009. That was my first experience visiting 'one of the must visit' city in Spain. By the time we (me and my friends) arrived, we went by airplane and arrived in Girona Airport. I must say that English ability of Spanish people is not that good. Sorry for writing this, but I just want to share my experience. After that we went from airport to the city centre of Barcelona (where the phenomenal Las Ramblas lies) by bus, which costed us 12 euros, one way. We stayed in apartment exactly in Las Ramblas.

After getting to the city center, it was very good. We can easily find top brands, such as Pizza Marzano, Carrefour, McDonalds, Burger King, Starbucks just on the side of the pavement. The 'Las Ramblas' was somehow too crowded, and it's very popular that it is not safe out there, so we should have been very careful there. And I didn't even know why, the tour leader suggested us not to buy any food in Las Ramblas. But that was okay for us, since restaurants and supermarkets are nearby.

The day after, we traveled around the city, visiting places such as Parc Guel, another masterpieces from Gaudi, and also Camp Nou, the magical Olympic Stadium. Overall, it is worth going to Barcelona.
