The "Essential" Barcelona.

My bashing Barcelona was more of an attempt to see the annoying negative things about Europe and Spain, mostly because I absolutely love going to Europe and would not change any of its good or "bad" qualities... it just wouldn't be the same. (Thus... abort operations World Done a la Ale... I repeat... abort and withdraw... 1...2...3... is this thing on??..?)

Back to the really important matters, such as the "Essential" Barcelona. First and foremost the street to be is Passeig de Gracia where you will happily encounter all the houses of worship worth visiting... such as Chanel, Armani... and so on and so forth...


Passeig de Gracia, Barcelona, Spain

This is where the entire city comes after work for their evening stroll. Its great! There are bakeries, cafes, and in some of the side streets you'll find tapas bars (not to be confused with TOPLESS Bars).
