Barcelona Travel Forum

I am organising a holiday to Barcelona, Madrid and Lloret de Mar on the Costa Brava,next month and would welcome any info on the best places to visit in these locations.

Tam it depends exactly what kind of things you or your holiday party enjoy. Is it all adults or children as well ? In a nutshell Madrid is great for museums, Barcelona's must see's include : Sagrada Familia, Parc Guell, Open top bus tour, Stroll along La Rambla, best bet is to look at : http://www.barcelona-tourist-guide.com/index.html for other ideas ( top city is Barcelona ). As for Lloret think of a warmer Blackpool & you will not be far off what it is like ( even has the fruit machines ). Darren.

Madrid sights not to be missed:

-Museo del Prado
-Centro del Arte, Reina Sofia
-El Parque del Buen Retiro
-Puerta del Sol/Plaza Mayor
-Una corrida de toros (bullfights on sunday)= Las Ventas Plaza de Toros
-Walk down Gran Via
-Tapas crawl- especially near la Plaza de Santa Ana

que disfrute su tiempo en Espaņa!
enjoy your time in Spain!

Yes, Tam, What are your interests? What do you like to do? Party all night or spend your days in museums? Lots of general info can be had in countless guidebooks and websites. What you can get here is personal recommendations. But in order to get good, useful info, you have to give us some specifics.
