Barcelona

Oct 21st, 2008 | By Bock | Category: Pictures, Travel

I love this town.

I fucking love it!

Love it, do you hear?

I fucking love Barcelona, and the first thing I’m going to do when I get home is book another, longer visit here.

I fucking love it.

    How’s the horizon?

    Is it as beautiful as Freddie said?

    Jammy bastard. As in , YOU JAMMY BASTARD!

    Go on, rub it in. Make with the pictures. You know you want to.

    But how do you REALLY feel about it, Bockmeister?

    I thought you would…it’s a great city.

  5. Mule Taker October 21st, 2008 6:31 pm

    I take it that you sort of like it over there.

    Bit surprised you haven’t “lost” your return ticket yet. Don’t hurry back Bock, enjoy that town as it’s meant to be enjoyed.

    Great place isn’t it.
    I was first there in 1968 – great then, still great.

    Tis a great city – I used to live there teaching Catalans the auld English. For a fun afternoon, go down Las Ramblas, point yerself towards the sea, and half way down on the left visit the museum of pornography – a cornucopia of interesting images and objects!!!

    Sigh. It’s my favourite place. Haven’t been for years though.

    Enjoy it there Bock.. Check out Gracia..its my favourite part..lots of nice little restaurants.. Just go a few blocks up Passeig de Gracia and take a right, any right and you’re there..or just take the metro from Plaza de Catalunya and get off at Lesseps. My girlfriend is from there so I have taken the extremely difficult decision to move there.
    Once I’ve worked there 6 months I will have full free health care too!
    Adieu

    I have to go with you on this one. In my experience it’s miles ahead of Madrid.

    Hi Bock–

    Tis the spiritual (and, in part, geographical) home of Counago & Spaves, of course.

    Try L’Ascensor on Carrer Bellafila, behind the Ayuntamiento, and the restaurant Pla next door. Also Vildsvin on Ferran. You won’t be disappointed.

    Mr Ambassador — There are very few places in barcelona where one can see the horizon, but yes, to answer your question, it is. Only more so.

    Conan — Oh, all right then.

    Mr Pagano — I really really fucking love it.

    A Fhear Aduaidh — You thought right. How did I miss it until now?

    Mule Taker — Yes. Correct.

    Hoof — Sadly, I had to go home, but not for long. I’ll be back.

    KB — Great city. Just great.

    Eva — Not enough time for everything in two days I’m afraid. Longer visit required.

    John Braine — That’s saying a great deal. Favourite place, out of every possible location?

    Pelotudo — Now you tell me! Next time, I suppose.

    Savannah — Will a few pics do?

    Poobah — Never been to Madrid either. Maybe a trip is in order for comparison and research purposes.

    John — Thanks. I’d better keep a record of all this advice for next time.

    Well out of places that I’ve been too. I’m sure there are many more. Staying in a Costa Rican treehouse was right up there.
