I've got tickets for a gig (Postal Service/Death Cab for Cutie) on the 27th August. The plan was to drive up, stay over and then drive back, but after thinking about how ropey the car is and the cost of petrol/parking i looked at other options. A first class train is ~6hrs each way and works out at €180 round trip. So much for cheap travel in Europe! (granted those are 1st class seats, but basic was €55 so upgrading to comfort was then €75 for some extra space and then it made sense to spend an extra €15 and get included food/drink if nothing else).
Flights then worked out at €125 so i've gone with that. It has me arriving in Barcelona at 9am and then flight out the next day is 3pm. Leaving loads of time to explore. The gig is in the Poble Espanyol which seems fairly central which is nice. Not booked a hotel yet but aiming for something cheap whilst avoiding a hostel.
Any must see places? Or should i just generally wander around? Mainly focusing on things to see/free options as we'll be heading back someday with the wife and i'm trying to keep costs down. Generally have a love of tall buildings and viewpoints along with booze![Big Grin :D :D](/styles/default/xenforo/vbSmilies/Normal/biggrin.gif)
