Has Anybody Been To Barcelona?

Travel Info
Hi I'm 14 and going to Barcelona with my school soon. Never been before so would like to know what is there and what the weather is like and if the people are nice!

Also is there a time delay and do i need an adapter for a plug for my phone charger / straighteners!

Thanks in advance for any info =]

Travel Tips

Bring a European adapter, it's the same one fall all the continent.

What can I say? Hot weather, fine beaches, lot's of night life, and lot's of sight seeings (Sagrada Familia, Parc G眉ell, Montjuic, Tibidabo...). I think we're quite nice, but as some one put it up there, don't expect any one to get all excited to see some British teens around. It's a big city and it's full of tourists. What I can advise you, as it happened to me yesterday and I'm still a bit annoyed, would be not to "expect" people to answer you in English. I mean, I do speak English, but I hate it when some English person comes to me and asks for directions or whatever in fast English. He/she should understand they are not in an English speaking country and it's not my obligation to speak English. I wouldn't go to London and expect people to understand me in Spanish. That sort of behaviour would make you look arrogant. Also, it's true Las Ramblas is full of criminal who are willing to get their hands in your bag or camera. But I used to work near there and not once did they pick pocketed me. Try not to look too tourist (you know, camera hanging, white socks with sandals, Mexican hat...) and avoid standing in the same spot in the street. Do not leave your bag hanging from the back of your chair or beside your feet,especially in tourist streets. Hope I have helped Source(s): I live here
Other Travel Tips

Ah yes. I went there when I was adressed to King Philip. Beautiful city. You're very lucky to be going there.
Yes You need an adaptors, I wouldn't bother taking your hair straighteners are there is beautiful beaches and the weather will be so hot. You certainly are a lucky girl!

food is very nice too and people are friendly. practise your Spanish and don't forget your camera.
I went to Barcelona when I went to Salou on my honeymoon.

Worth going to F.C.Barcelona if you are into football.

You will need A European plug adapter that will fit on the end of your plug, which as two pins on it to fit the plug sockets in Spain.

They are 1hr ahead of us.
Lots of sights etc. Parc Guell, Cathedral, Fountains, Goldfish, Hard Rock Cafe, Live Statues, Las Ramblas.
Barcelona is a magnificent city, with some great architecture (check out the 'Sagrada Familia' Church, which is still being built ninety years after its architect, Antoni Gaudi, died). There are other Gaudi buildings in Barcelona well worth a visit, too.
A walk down the 'Ramblas' (a long wide pedestrian avenue) is also interesting, as there are usually lots of street artists and performers to be found there. At its sea end, is a column with a statue of Christopher Columbus pointing out to sea (it's a lot like Nelson's column in London's Trafalgar Square.)
There is a one hour time difference with the UK, they're an hour ahead (if it's 11:00 in the UK, it'll be 12:00 in Spain).
Yes, you will need plug adaptors as they use the continental two prong plug system.
Hope that helps a bit.
Enjoy your trip!
