[BNM] [OT] Barcelona Recommendations

[Adam Kemeny]

I would recommend anyone that visits Barcelona to avoid La Ramblas,  
particularly in the evenings. As well as being a pure, undiluted  
tourist trap it also has a bad reputation for street crime (which  
thankfully I've never witnessed but friends have) and prostitution  
too. Avoiding the main tourist areas will also find you amazing  
bargains food-wise. Irritatingly I don't have any particular names to  
recommend but http://www.timeout.com/barcelona/ has proved very useful  
on my visits. Have a great time, it's a fabulous city!
