Well, I restrain from uploading anything then and focus on submitting some games which wait to be submitted for a long time and I'll update our lists til moving will be officially confirmed as finished.
As for Barca it is of course a beautiful city, but like it is with every major tourist attraction nowadays its geographical location helps great - I mean sea, beaches and so. Without it it would be nothing exceptional. Medieval district, charming narrow streets with hiden shops and clubs, it's everywhere now. Major tourist attraction is Sagrada Familia of course. It didnt look so impressive when I approached it, only when I started to watch thousands of sculpture details and read the information of Gaudi's use of various plant-like and hyperboloid structures it got to me how huge vision it is. Nonetheless, the inside is disappointing especially if youre not ready for what youll experience and think that there's some church to see - it's one huge building site full of scaffoldings with stone blocks, boards and bags of cement and glue scattered around. The only elements existing are huge pillars.
But even bigger atraction is of course Camp Nou, at least if you count people in lines. Official club shop is so crowded that it's hard to walk at times - and it's not small, it's a huge double-floor shop. With prices similar to its size and club's position.
One major issue with the city is its main tourist walk - La Rambla. During day overcrowded with river of people (1 per 10 of them is pickpocketer most likely
) flowing slowly in two directions, during night quite dangerous place full of aggressive hookers, drug dealers and suspicious fellows lurking from every corner. There are dangerous districts in each city around the world probably, but it becomes a problem when dangerous district is located right where you spend your vacation, unaware that you just stepped into wrong street, while it seemed plain normal 2 hours earlier. Place to avoid at night unless you're in big group and you're sober. Otherwise you can consider yourself robbed if not worse.
Oh, and the nudist beach is right at the main entrance. In fact I dont think locals fully care where it is exactly and the darker it gets the less problematic it becomes.
Oh, and I got in love with rose Lambrusco wine. We liked it so much that we started to avoid restaurants which didnt serve it. Lambrusco is Italian, just like pizzas we ate practically all the time. Barcelona.
