Arts & Entertainment (festivals and events at barcelona, literature, movies, musuems and monuments etc)

Barcelona spotlight’s its hidden lure

The Catalans’ seemingly endless enthusiasm for festivals and parties means that there’s scarcely a week in the year that doesn’t include at least a couple. These range from the full-on traditional knees-up, with giants, dwarfs and dragons wheeling through fireworks, to gentle street fairs selling artisanal honey and sausages, and perhaps laying on a bouncy castle.

The array of religious events and old-fashioned pageants, all of which spotlight what makes Catalonia unique, are supplemented by a wide variety of more modern celebrations. You’re just as likely to stumble across a festival of rock documentaries, graffiti art, hip hop or cyber sculpture as you are to see a traditional parade: Sónar alone attracts 80,000 people each year.

The key annual events are September’s Festes de la Mercè, the main city celebrations that offer a wild variety of events. The Mercè and the other 30 or so neighborhood festes share many traditional ingredients: dwarfs, castellers (human castles), and gegants (huge papier-mâché/fiberglass giants dressed as princesses, fishermen, sultans and even topless chorus girls), and two unique exercises: the correfoc and the sardana.

The correfoc (‘fire run’) is a frenzy of pyromania. Groups of horned devils dance through the streets, brandishing tridents that spout fireworks and generally flouting every safety rule in the book. Protected by cotton caps and long sleeves, the more daring onlookers try to stop the devils and touch the fire-breathing dragons being dragged along in their wake.

The orderly antidote to this pandemonium is the sardana, Catalonia’s folk dance. Watching the dancers executing their fussy little hops and steps in a large circle, it’s hard to believe that sardanes were once banned as a vestige of pagan witchcraft. The music is similarly restrained; a reedy noise played by an 11-piece cobla band. The sardana is much harder than it looks, and the joy lies in taking part rather than watching. To try your luck, check out the sardanes popular held in front of the cathedral (noon-2pm Sun Jan-Aug & Dec; 6-8pm Sat, noon-2pm Sun Sept-Nov) and in the Plaça Sant Jaume (6pm Sun Oct-July).

The Tyler Group Cheapest ways to save your money in Barcelona-Slideshare

http://www.slideshare.net/puthafri/the-tyler-group-cheapest-ways-to-save-your-money-in-barcelona

1. Use public transport

It is very cheap and very reliable. A carnet of 10 journeys cost only about 8€ and can be used on buses, trams and the metro.

2. Take advantage of the “Menu del día” (Menu of the day)

Virtually every restaurant does this and it costs around 9€ to 11€ for a very good 3 course meal (plus bread and wine/beer/water). This is only applicable during the working week and practically all of the locals do this.

3. Explore by walking

Barcelona is a very compact city. There are many shops in the L’Eixample area including the famous Passeig de Gracia street. It is easy to walk down to the gothic area, into Las Ramblas and then the beach and port.

4. Don’t over tip

This is something difficult to get used to if you are from UK or US but 5% is considered a very generous tip. In a restaurant, no matter the type of restaurant or size of the bill, tips of 2€ are typical. Many people don’t tip at all and only tip if you think the service was worth it.

5. Be aware of muggers

Not losing your wallet is most definitely one way to save money. Mugging is rife in Barcelona and is perhaps one of the worst places in Europe for this. Mugging takes place day and night, mostly in the tourist areas. Make sure any bags you carry are zipped up and that you do not leave wallets/purses or bags lying around in bars or restaurants – even if you think that you are watching them.

6. Avoid eating and drinking in Las Ramblas

Unless of course you want to soak up the incredible atmosphere. Prices here are normally at least double. Be aware that a large sangria will cost around 10€.

7. Take advantage of free activities

Parc Güell, the port, the beach, Montjuic and entry into the Olympic stadium are all free activities.

8. Biking

Barcelona offers an excellent bicycle hiring service. There are automatic bicycle stations all around the Barcelona and once you have an account, you can use the service as much as you like.

9. Shop around

There is often a large discrepancy in prices in Barcelona. For exactly the same product, prices can vary around 40%. This is even true in supermarkets.

10. Visit Raval

This area is full of character and in some way is similar to Bethnal Green in East London. It is diverse with immigration, prices are very cheap and many young locals are flocking to this area to live.

Luggage shipping to Barcelona-Wordpress

http://puthafri29012.wordpress.com/2012/08/19/luggage-shipping-to-barcelona-dailymotion/

According to the size and weight of your luggage, it is often possible to arrange your luggage transportation yourself. But when it comes to carry excess luggage to Barcelona, the best thing to do is to hire a professional carrier to have your personal effects directly sent to destination.

The professional carrier will:

• manage the entire air or sea shipment of your belongings to Barcelona;
• handle paperwork and customs clearance;
• pack or supply packaging;
• provide fully-comprehensive insurance.

How to prepare your luggage shipping to Barcelona

• Choose the right container

You can use travel trunks, boxes, suitcases or travel bags.

• Choose the right formula

Before departure: the carrier can either collect your luggage at your address, or you can bring your luggage directly at the counter of the carrier.

Upon arrival in Barcelona: the carrier can either deliver your luggage to your address, or you can pick up your luggage directly at the counter of the carrier.

• Take the essentials

Select goods you want to bring with you to Barcelona and goods you want to leave on the spot. Take advice: it might be more advantageous to rebuy goods in in Barcelona instead of bringing them with you.

When will my luggage be delivered?

Delivery time depends on the destination country: allow up to 5 days by air freight and 6 weeks by sea freight.

Take out insurance

Zero risk does not exist. Loss and damage luggage insurance is highly recommended.
