Barcelona

Booked to take Mrs G for a return trip to Barcelona next May. Finally getting round to celebrating our 10th anniversary (spent actual anniversary in hospital with kid G).

Kid G is on a school trip for a week so we get to be all grown up!

Staying in apartment in born district and have booked the highly recommended Blavis tapas restaurant for posh meal. Should be hot enough for the beach too.

Can’t wait.

Well done GB. Restaurant booking 7 months ahead?! If you have another night I can highly recommend Eldiset as one of the best, and most lively restaurants I have been to. Does not break the bank and when I was there in August they turned away 70 people who had not booked in just 2 hours :lou_lol:

Congrats on the anniversary, @goatboy if you get a chance check out Can Paixano. Good food, and awesome Pink Cava (at like €4 a bottle). Locals love it (it’s always rammed). You’ll be stuffed and battered on about €25 euro.

Have a good’un!

Jealous.

Had hoped to get there for a break this summer but wasn’t to be.

Gonna stay with a mate down closer to Gib for a few days post Glasto RnR.

Just watch your wallet/bags on Las Ramblas.

(Note: think I still have a $3000+ Bar Bill from a corporate event outstanding in Barca)

Why doesn’t this surprise me?

You’ve clearly had a good meal, and I like the hat - but I’ve never seen you smoking a pipe before

Why does that remind me of Arnhem Away last year :lou_sunglasses:

Good work mate. Excellent food and cracking wine. I wholly recommend.

Mrs G has just asked me if it’s ok if she goes out on to the balcony to shout abuse at the locals. 10 years. :lou_smiley:
