Barcelona, Spain

We arrived in Barcelona on the evening of September 10th. We wanted to save some money and rented shared room on AirBnb. It turned out to be a room in some student's apartment and he had a cat there. I'm allergic to cats so we had to move out the next day. We found another apartment in Poble Nou district, close to the beach.

On the first day we went for a walk to Barcelonetta district. In this district you can find port, beach and old apartments buildings. And a lot of restaurants :)

There are parrots living in the arc.

After park we visited tapas-bar Bormuth in Gothic district.

It was very nice there.

We didn’t take photos of our food because we were too hungry and ate it before :) On average tapa costs 4-10 EUR. Beer is 3.50 EUR.

We also visited restaurant called Recasense which was close to our new home
They have English and Spanish menus, but the prices in English one are 1 EUR higher than in Spanish :)
