Okay, you HAVE to eat at Can Culleretes, which is located here:



Hearty, traditional grub that doesn't come at dickhead prices. The wild boar stew is a total fucking winner.

We've got the whole week to 'lark about' Chapman...

But I'm excited NOW!

I'm excited too DRC!

Espai Sucre ("Sugar Space") ... a cool restaurant with a dessert theme. Sounds odd, but they execute it well.

Gaig is another terrific, somewhat expensive restaurant, but worth it for the Catalan cuisine.

The History of the City Museum in the Gothic Quarter is very cool. You can tour the underground remains of Roman Barcelona.

And if you have time, the Picasso Museum is worth a look.

If you're into contemporary art, you have to visit the MACBA, which the Museum of Contemporary Art.
Great building, great small restaurants around and really refreshing if it's hot outside.

i'm staying at an apartment just off Las Ramblas so it looks like i'm in a good location for all your recommendations.

yeah man!!!

i'm going to the festival as well and also staying in an apartment off ramblas!

some great tips here.

the one about the wild boar stew looks immense!

Wow!!I didn't realize before clicking on the link that I went there too.
Great place!!!!

gjhardwick, I advise you to go early, even before the restaurant opens. I got there 15 minutes earlier and there were already 10-15 people waiting and it's a pretty small place inside.

when you get in give me a call ...

i'm starting a professional tour guide company..

you won't regret it..

I think their exhibition of Janet Cardiff stuff is still up. If it is, MAKE SURE YOU GO SEE IT/HEAR IT.

I am completely serious.
