La Paloma“La Paloma” is one of the most famous clubs in Barcelona, has been location for many movies and is definitely worth a visit. It is a dancing hall with over 100 years of tradition.

Still, evenings often start with an old-fashioned Spanish dance band and senior couples move cheek to cheek. At midnight the music changes and DJs, often with percussionists, take over with a funky fusion of soul, breakbeats and disco. Very stlyewalker-style, actually..

Thursday is Bongo-lounge which is the best day to go, you will find lots of students and a very flirty atmosphere. La PalomaUnfortunately it is really expensive, but here’s a nice trick:

Go to the bar “Benidorm” which is really close and order a drink. Then you ask for “entradas”, most likely they will give you free tickets for the night. Once you’re in, be prepared to Barcelona’s high prices: A beer is 5€ (moreover: it’s Heineken..)

..proudly presents:my kitchen

Langsam gewöhne ich mich an meine neue Wohnung. Am Anfang war ich ein bisschen skeptisch und wenig zufrieden, aber das liegt wohl an mir. Der nächtliche Lärm, die Aussicht auf einen kalten Winter (keine Heizung! dafür einen Kamin, aber keine Ahnung, ob der funktioniert..), der Nachbar, der pünktlich zu meinem Einzug ein Passwort auf sein W-lan legte, all das bereitete mir wirkliche Bauchschmerzen.
