Pg. de St. Joan, 2, Eixample, 08010 Barcelona, Spain   Outdoor tables with a great view of the Arc de Triomf. Ordering food is mandatory. Still, I liked the street atmosphere and the view. 2025-05-10 SAT After-lunch beer break.  After having lunch, Imin and we headed to Passeig de Lluis Companys.  Torre Glòries A nice walk along  Parc de l'Estació del Nord .  Arc de Triomf Pg. de St. Joan to Northwest. We just wanted have drinks watching the gate, but obviously that's what everyone wated.  Luckily we could get a table with the best view. However they requested us to order not only dirnks but also food, so we just had chorizo, which is actually good with wine or beer. This is not usual but still understandable considering the popularity of the spot.  I didn't mind.  Barcelona (2025.5)

Carrer de la Marina, 114, Sant Martí, 08018 Barcelona, Spain   A very good and sophisticated three-course meal for only €22. The portions may not be enough for big eaters. The menu is only in Spanish, and the staff don’t speak English. 2025-05-10 SAT We've found out that Imin is also visiting Barcelona for Balbao event, and made an appointment to have lunch together.  They had a very good 3 course meal.  The menu is provided also in the web. The only problem was that the munu was written in Spanish and the staff didn't speak English. However, we've managed to order using Google Translation. I think some of the orders were misunderstood, but we didn't care that much. It must have been something like a bottle of wine instead of glasses or something.  Tartar de tonyina i guacamole amb miso suau, gajos de taronja i xips de llentia Tuna tartare and guacamole with mild miso, orange wedges and lentil chips The tartar was so good with guacamole.  Carpaccio de Bacalla am...

People don't dance to strangers eagerly any more, but try to only the familar ones or celebrities. However, Barcelona seemed better in that sense. I could meet new intersting dancers, some with cool, unique styels. Some dancers recognized us and thanked for the inspiration.  After-party.  2025-05-10 SAT La Jam - Saturday 21:15~22:00 1ST SET ADRIAN CUNNINGHAM 22:00~22:15 SHOWS  22:15~22:45 2ND SET CAROLINA REAPERS 22:45~23:00 MIX & MATCH COMPETITION FINALS - OPEN LEVEL 23...

Carrer de Llull, 170, Sant Martí, 08005 Barcelona, Spain   cost-effective hotle in a good location When I visited Spain, hotel prices were ridiculously high, but this one was relatively good considering the quality of the facilities and service. It’s a bit far from the city center, but the area is full of restaurants and still walkable to most attractions, including the beach. The staff at check-in seemed a bit cold, but the night staff were very helpful. 595,860 KRW / 4 nights = 148,965 2025-05-09 FRI The most cost-effective hotel I could find when Barcelona was ridiculously expensive.  We've arrived in Barcelona from Mallorca with Vueling airlines.  We've taken the Aerobus. Thanks to the experience of a few times in Barcelona, we didn't buy the ticket from the kisok but from the driver onboard, which made the transfer quick.  The best suitcase rack from which you can take out your bag so easily.  Transferred to a local bus in the  Pl. Catalunya .  Ev...
