oops yeah, sorry about that. Either way I'm looking for a race any of those days. Maybe having a race coming up will keep me from drinking my face off for 10 straight days.

I was wondering if anyone knows of any road races that may be taking place in Barcelona that Saturday August 12...or any way I can find something like this out such as a link or something

Any information/links/contact/anything is apprechiated.

Thanks!

hey hope you have a better time than i did.. i stayed in barcelona for two weeks back in the first twoo weeks of may.

i have to say the weather was just gorgeous.. nice warm days and mild evenings... i'm sur you'll check out las ramblas where all mimes hang out.. it can get very crowded

i stayed at two hotels la duquesa and hotel jazz both hotels located near las ramblas..

what bars/clubs are you planning to check out?

maybe i've been there and can give you a few tips or comments...

drink a lot of water and fruit.. helps the digestive system if you know what i mean

I'm staying with a friend of mine in a hostel. We had planed on figuring the bars and stuff out once we got there? any suggestions?

well for starters you can check out the hard rock cafe

on the end of las ramblas..(the beginning begins at the harbor) next to the catalunya plaza..

it's just a bar and restaurant.. no dancing, but there is music and video monitors.. get there early to find a place at the bar it usually gets crowded after 8:00 pm..

most of the bars you'll find are on las ramblas street.

also there are tapas at just about every side street that connect las ramblas.. there's an australian bar that has a pretty good atmosphere, the bartender is from australia and americans seem to be welcomed there... also in catalunya plaza there is also an irish pub you can check out

if you like a classy bar you can try some of the local hotels on las ramblas.. don't remember the names but more quiet and cleaner..

if you are into dancing and the club scene you can try the sutton club.. in spain they pronounce it the "soo-tan-cloob"

lots of girls 20-30.. get there around 11:00 before the crowd..

as a tip i would stay away from the clubs at or near the beach..overcrowded and the bathrooms are filthy

the women in general are not forthcoming in meeting men, most women would rather be with their friends..

in my experience only a few women would come and talk with us but the vast majority were content being with their group..

anyway have fun and good luckwith your trip!

You can get absynth at Marsella on Carrer de Sant Pau.
