From someone who lived in BCN for 5 years and quickly got tired of tourists...please don't yell or scream when you're walking/hanging out in neighborhoods at night... People actually live there and have children. Also, don't stand in the way of people to take pictures. Be considerate.

One thing I have come to enjoy is your passing thru of Placa de Sant Jaume. It gives me a chance to reminisce about my favorite sandwich shop, Conesa Entrepans. YUMMO! Recommendby Triple D. I ALWAYS make a point to stop by no matter where I may be staying in town.

One of the best places to eat in Barcelona is shown on your opening shot! Over your head is a white building, El Conte Ingle's department store. That black row of windows at the top is the stores cafeteria. The food is great, the prices are good and the view of Catalunya square is GREAT! My wife and I had two great meals for less than $25... Give it a try !

When I walk a lot in Barcelona (25 km a day), I often rest in a Mc Donald's with a Latte. It's cool, there's internet, sometimes I can charge my iPad, toilet, sink. It's really worth it. Mercadona is my favorite shopping place. I love your kind, humorous information show. Your shirt is good too. (You are on it?). And I promise I won't stand out on the sidewalk as much from now on. Take a step back. Latom You also love Barcelona. It's a dream city.

Oh… and the vermouth! I need to make a return visit soon.

Was just in Barcelona, the hotel wanted 10.90€ for a beer. Over past Playa Espanya, at a cafe near the museum just 5€ for a very large beer and chips! Explore the city and the neighborhoods and you will save money. Sagrada Familia and Park Güell sold out both in early May and mid November, we had bought tickets in advance.

Up the Rambla (Rambla de Catalunya, 25,) we landed at El Raco, a pizzeria with a Catan vibe. The places towards the harbor are a mistake, that I can attest to. We also found good eats in the market. We're coming back to BCN this summer.

I saw a Polish tourist in Gracia near the shops and the metro he said that he got robbed and lost 2000 euros. He said that he needed to go to Madrid with his friends. I offered him food and he refused that. I didn't give him money or a phone because he is a stranger. but if someone still sees him in Barcelona then maybe they can write a message to his family from their phone. Again to give money or a phone or to have a credit card near a complete stranger is dangerous. I hope that he is doing fine

Just watched several other videos about Barcelona's unchecked crime targeting tourists. The victims warn specifically about Gothic and Ramblas. You'll be watched almost certainly, and tourists report they get their phones snatched and watches torn off their wrists. Even with large male companions, they shock tactics paralyze everyone and they're gone with your valuables. So, beware!
