Title: Barcelona - Opinions?
Post by: joeactor on November 22, 2016, 06:51:37 PM
Hello all,

We've been looking at Barcelona, Spain as a possible place to visit and/or live.

Since I've never been there myself, I wondered if any of you had personal experiences you could share with me.

Positive, negative - all's fair.
Any input greatly appreciated  :) ;) :D
Off to study Spanish,
JoeActor

I've never been to Spain so I can't offer you any help there...I am curious though. If you don't mind my asking, why Barcelona?

I was really hoping this was about Freddie Mercury.

But since it's not and I've never been to Spain (THANKS DUBYA!! Literally. I had a trip to Spain booked that was cancelled as direct result of his bullshit overseas) I'm afraid I don't have much input.

My wife has a friend and business associates there who really likes it.
And Spain has a resident visa program we're looking into.

Catalonia is a pleasant area, similar to southern California in climate. I can't say much about Barcelona itself, though, having only driven through it. Reminded me a bit of LA.  ;)

Well I've never been to Spain
But I kinda like the music
They say the ladies are insane there
And they sure know how to use it.

I don't know what "it" is, but "they" say that whatever it is that they know how to use... the conquistadores learned from the Latinas, and took it back to Spain... :P

"Good for them...if that's even possible."  :grin:

I'm just googling  Barcelona...
it's in Spain, a foreign place.
It'll have a lot of foreign people in it.
Be taken your chances going there.

Barcelona has the same number of syllables as Hallelujah.  So sing the Hallelujah Chorus but substitute "Barcelona".  It's quite uplifting.
