I booked 31 May to 4 June with Iberia - 133 snots incl tax. Seems to be the best price out there and flys directly to Barcelona and the times are good. I booked it through ebookers.ie

i also did this but from the 30th to the 5th and it was 113 snot so......ya

Where do people generally stay area wise? was looking at (cool) apartments near la Ramblas but apparently its miles from the festival action and quite expensive for pub boozin. anyone in the know?

 

[wrafter]

Suggest you check Gothic Point hostel. It's not within walking distance of festival venue, but is is dead-city-centre, lots of pubs, and public transportation in Barna is top-notch. Gothic Point is good quality, and clean. Do a Google.

Don't bother staying near the festival, the area around it is shite. There's no problems whatsoever getting to and from the festival, metros run virtually all night on weekends and taxis cost nothing, it's only 15 minutes from the city centre

I'd be looking for accomodation in El Ravel, the other side of La Rambla from the Barri Gothic. A bit more run down, but all the better for it.
Also El Born is probably the nicest area in the city centre, but a bit pricey.
At the end of the day, its a very compact city anyway, no matter where you stay you won't be far from the action.

yeah Iberia arre charging 113 euro, that's a good fare alright! Can't wait. What's the beer like inside the venue, I presume they sell more than bud or heino or the usual shite they sell here at festivals.

It's all estrella damm but perfectly tolerable, especially in the heat. Last year it was 3euro for large and 2 for small (I think). You convert yr cash into 1euro tokens. Works surprisingly ok actually. Foods not bad too.

Estrella is a good strong beer. I'm sure I'll be very happy there!

 

[wrafter]

Nah, Estrella is light and won't do much for you. They don't sell the stronger version there.

 

[plug]

estrella damm....under usual circiumstances I'd probably call it piss, but it's grand under the circumstances, ie: festival conditions etc. didn't give me much of a hangover, which is a good start. getting a beer on the first night was a bit of a struggle, but no problem for the rest of the festival. there are plenty of bars around the venue... I even recall getting free beer at one point. unprecedented!

the token idea is cool... but beware, they issue different tokens for each day so if you have spares from the night before you'll have to cash them in for new wans. €3 for a cerveza "grande" which was around the same quantity as a longneck beer perhaps. could be worse... better than over here anyway. well.... unless you live in cork, drink beamish and go to callanan's... €2.55 a pint

whereabouts?

 

[Dktr. Faustus]

in Gracia, near sagrada familia i think...bit north from where i was originally looking for, but i don't think its gonna be a problem

 

[wrafter]

Venue being in the very bottom right corner of above map. "Forum". Not a hike you're gonna wanna make at 5am! Gracia has a nice vibe though.

 

[Dktr. Faustus]

i wouldn't have walked anyways
