Sitges not only has nice little cafes and shops, but also a few small beaches. Who wants to mix sunbathing and shopping, is at the right spot. Sitges is close to Barcelona, a train ride from the Sants Station will take you there in 30min.

This fabulous beach is roughly one hour train ride from Barcelona, one train stop before Tarragona.
Blue water, nice sand… great for disconnecting and forgetting the trouble of a city.

Barcelona’s Plaza Catalunya filled quickly yesterday night after Spain beat Germany 1:0 in the finals of the 2008 European football championship.

Cafe Zurich must be the center of Barcelona. Located on the corner of Plaza Catalunya and at the beginning of la Rambla, Cafe Zurich is situated at a junction which connects Barrio Gotico with the Eixample and the west of the city with the east. Mixing up with all the people who pass this place when crossing Barcelona from one side to the other are the tourists arriving in Barcelona or visiting la Rambla. Cafe Zurich has established as a common meeting point and is a great place for watching people.

Plaza Real in the old Gothic District is always busy by night. The fountain in the center of the square is typical meeting point and there are plenty of bars and clubs you can visit nearby.
