Vegetarian restaurants and cafés (or places with good veggie options).
Comic book stores.
Cool places to hear music.
Or just cool places in general.

"The Saint-Tropez of Spain" is famed for its annual film festival, beaches, carnival, Malvasia, beaches, historical sites, xató and 15 other beaches - two of which are apparently difficult to access, if you're the adventurous type. But it was mainly the 2010 Bilderberg Secret-Masters-Of-Us-All World Domination Conference & Pro-Celebrity Golf Tournament which first got my friend to visit.

Not really the Bilderberg thing. It was the gay-friendly nature of the place he loved.

I'm travelling with carnivores who might be interested. ]]> Barcelona http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10749&Focus=336158#Comment_336158 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10749&Focus=336158#Comment_336158 Sun, 08 Jul 2012 18:02:04 -0700 Stoto Heliogabal Small bar with local acts.

Juicy Jones Wholesome, healthy etc. The vegetable thali is really good.

Addis Abeba Sweet Ethopian restaurant in Sants.

Veg World India Havn't been here, but a friend just recommended it.

Maoz was pretty much my best friend when I was stuck for a vegetarian snack.

Also check out Happy Cow and Sin Carne if you are stuck.

There an awesome flea market at Mercat Del Encants. It has loads of weird shit. Also, vintage clothes.

There’s a book sale every Sunday 8:00 - 15:00 at the old Mercat de Sant Antoni. You will froth at the selection of old books and comics there.

Carrer de Tallers near Universitat has a bunch of vintage clothes and records shops. Not as fun as the markets but still worth checking out.

I’m sure everyone has told you to be careful of pickpockets, but I’ll say it again. Keep your eyes peeled for the clever bastards. A group of lads did the old Ronaldinio on me one night and nicked my wallet. ]]> Barcelona http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10749&Focus=336174#Comment_336174 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10749&Focus=336174#Comment_336174 Mon, 09 Jul 2012 01:36:43 -0700 Horrible Warning Si Can Culleretes.

Heavingly busy - you'll need to book or queue. It's all very hearty rustic grub - none of this fine-dining wank - and the gimmick is that the staff positively refuse to speak (or understand) anything except catalan. So you need to either have a rough-and-ready bit of Spanish (if you can read Castillian you can just about decipher the menu), or have enough of an enlightened attitude to food to point at something random and try it out. It's all very, very, very good.

Wild boar with prunes is a particular favourite. ]]> Barcelona http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10749&Focus=336272#Comment_336272 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10749&Focus=336272#Comment_336272 Tue, 10 Jul 2012 04:40:18 -0700 Mathias B @Si: Thanks! I'll pass it on to my meat-loving friends. ]]>
