Title: Re: Satellite Queen wins seat to Heads up Barcelona Post by: TightEnd on August 11, 2005, 08:54:29 AM Mel, make sure you visit
a) the olympic stadium/olympic park....the views over the city are sensational (you may remember the backdrop when Greg Louganis was winning the diving comps in the 92 Olympics) b) The Harbour area, and have a meal in the Hotel D'Arts.......if you get a result first!!! Title: Re: Satellite Queen wins seat to Heads up Barcelona Post by: neeko on August 11, 2005, 09:35:10 AM My personal favourites are:
1. the gondela from the beach up to Montjuic, then wander up to the fort and see the whole of Barcelona set out below (near Olympic Park) 2. watch Barcelona PC at the Nou Camp (OK, more for the boys that one) 3. Dinner at Els Quartre Gats Title: Re: Satellite Queen wins seat to Heads up Barcelona Post by: golferscrote on August 11, 2005, 09:39:13 AM hi guys i was thinking of buying into the event if i break even or better at the austrian classics, i will let you know if i go!
Title: Re: Satellite Queen wins seat to Heads up Barcelona Post by: danmonkey on August 11, 2005, 09:45:50 AM My top tips for Barca:
Park Guell and Sagrada Famillia are unmissable for Gaudi's architecture. Don't eat on 'Las Ramblas' - you'll get better food and cheaper on one of the side streets of the gothic quarter. If you want to see the sights take the 'Bus Turistic' (you can get a leaflet in most hotels). Its a hop on/hop off open top bus service that takes in all the major sights (and plenty of minor ones too) and you get to bask in the sun whilst getting around. Its 17 euros for a one day ticket or 25 for two, definitely value. If you do visit the Nou Camp, pay the extra couple of euros for the full stadium tour - worth it just to sit in the directors box. Enjoy! Title: Re: Satellite Queen wins seat to Heads up Barcelona Post by: Robert HM on August 11, 2005, 09:46:42 AM Nice one Mel
Title: Re: Satellite Queen wins seat to Heads up Barcelona Post by: Karabiner on August 11, 2005, 09:49:30 AM Nice result Mel.
Good luck in the event ! Title: Re: Satellite Queen wins seat to Heads up Barcelona Post by: Ruru on August 11, 2005, 10:02:33 AM Nice one! My best tip for Barcelona is keep a firm grip on your purse!!! Thieving so and sos everywhere - even on the beach they'll try to nick your stuff by lying unreasonably close to you and grabbing your stuff when you're not looking.
Title: Re: Satellite Queen wins seat to Heads up Barcelona Post by: londonpokergirl on August 11, 2005, 11:56:15 AM many thanks chaps willl print off all info ;)

See you in Newcastle (Blonde) Jo xx ::) Title: Re: Satellite Queen wins seat to Heads up Barcelona Post by: North Angel on August 11, 2005, 02:00:31 PM Congrats Mel
Vodka and ReD Bull Waiting in Newcastle for you ;D Title: Re: Satellite Queen wins seat to Heads up Barcelona Post by: tikay on August 11, 2005, 04:29:18 PM Barcelona - a quite stunning city. But avoid Las Ramblas at all costs. Dirty, tacky, and dangerous. And dont try to get a taxi when you exit the Casino - NO CHANCE! Get a hotel within walking distance. The H10 is ideal. Title: Re: Satellite Queen wins seat to Heads up Barcelona Post by: Trace on August 11, 2005, 05:09:13 PM Yeah conrats and well done Mel.
Best of Brit luck when ya get there! Trace Title: Re: Satellite Queen wins seat to Heads up Barcelona Post by: TheJagster on August 11, 2005, 05:18:22 PM Well done Mel....If you want to borrow a silly guide book Ive got the one I used when i took ythe family for a holiday there last year.
I'll try and remember to bring it up to Newcastle in a couple of weeks. Title: Re: Satellite Queen wins seat to Heads up Barcelona Post by: Royal Flush on August 11, 2005, 08:55:19 PM I will second what Tikay said, and it goes for all of you.
Stay at the H10, the taxis in barcelona are unbelievable, you truely wouldnt believe if i told you. Like lots of people have said, be carefull, its not exactly a safe city. Title: Re: Satellite Queen wins seat to Heads up Barcelona Post by: Junior Senior on August 11, 2005, 10:17:56 PM If you like footy a tour round the nou camp is a must!
I found it pretty safe when i was there, although it was a stag do and we were very very very drunk! congrats! Title: Re: Satellite Queen wins seat to Heads up Barcelona Post by: londonpokergirl on August 11, 2005, 10:25:37 PM Thank you everybody ... you're all wonderful xxx
If I could borrow that book would be great and the vodka redbull by the bucket :) I think Newcastle will be a corker Title: Re: Satellite Queen wins seat to Heads up Barcelona Post by: Yogi-Bear on August 11, 2005, 11:47:10 PM Las Ramblas reminded me of Blackpool Promenade but with shops on both sides. A little warmer and sunnier too.
Take the tourist bus on both tours. Cracking day out, see all the sites. Yogi |
