Travelling to Spain (Barcellona). Advice wanted!

Broken1 · 05-10-2006, 11:43 AM

I'm going to london and spain in June. I will be in Spain for 5 days, 4 nights. How many Euro's should I bring for some light shopping and meals? I have booked a hotel, with inclusive breakfast. I'm staying at the Solvasa in Barcellona.

Any one been to Barcellona? Advice? Comments?

The fruit market is unebelievable in Barcelona. I think it's at the end of the las ramblas street.

The nightlife is great there too...if that's your thing.

Barcelona is great. AND the greatest footballteam(FC Barcelona doh) in the world imho

5 days? I would take 1000 euros with me, it's not a bargain there...

Whoaa....so much money? I'm a student, a 20yr old. I was thinking more along the lines of 500Euro. I gotta last 2 whole weeks in london aswell.

I mean, how much does a "cheap" decent supper cost? 20,30 bucks? that leaves 70 for shopping etc. per day? I'm not looking to come home carrying millions of things - prob shop more in london etc.

I am going to Uk for 6 weeks in June. PM me on the other forum and I will shed some light on what research I have done thus far. But to give you some indication, we budgeted for a thousand pounds per week which is more than ample considering we will be staying with family so "accomodation" is free.

Broken, I was'nt kidding. We were in Paris last september. And I'm not a girl who want's to buy 1000 pair of shoes and Louis Vuiton thingies and still (because you're one a holiday, drink/eat and the nightlife) 100 euros wasn't enough a day and I didn't buy anything special there. My country is expensive to live in, Paris is let's say 2 times more expensive, but Barcelona is almost as expensive as Paris in some places. London idem dito. And don't go to Switzerland. They pull you a leg.

IMO, it's London you have to worry about. Hotels are a bomb, plus everything else. In Barcelona, you're not gonna sleep cuz there are many kids partying and noise all night at the hotels. Fun city though
