Hi!

I accidentally booked a ticket for Park Güell for Thursday 14:30 instead of Tuesday, and I head home tonight. The site won’t refund it, so if you need it for free message me, so it won’t go to waste at least.

I saw this on 6th April in Barcelona from Montjuic. Does somebody know what that is? It is not an airplane, it was moving too steady for that and for a cable car it is too high.

The title speaks for itself. I wonder if there's any active initiative that aims to improve those numbers.

It's been 2 years I am living here, and this factor is actually one of the main "cons" I can comment about Barcelona when it comes to a city to live in

Hey there,

​

I get off at Diagonal metro station everyday for work and very often there's a black guy in his 30's asking people if they speak English and asking for help.

​

I find it a bit suspicious. Do you have experience with him/this kind of behaviour?

Another guy pulled the same thing on me today in Raval and I'd like to know what this scam really is about.

​

Thanks

I completely forgot but was reminded this morning about the upcoming Sant Jordi festive days. A woman quickly approached me and just put some flowers into my bag and started screaming that I have to give her money. Something equal did happen previous years too but definitely not in my quiet residential neighborhood as this time. Just wanted to remind you guys

DON’T let people come up to you and put flowers into your pockets/bags/hands. There will be special booths where you can “legally” buy flowers. Don’t feed these scammers. They can also rob you while putting flowers using it as a disturbing tactic.

Please help in getting this new project going

There are police surrounding the bus station with it closed off, does anyone know why?

Hi Guys,

Just thought I'd highlight this hotel and the fact that it's owned by a Kremlin member: Ivan Demchenko. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ivan_Demchenko

His 'entrepreneur' daughter bought it using corrupt Russian money.

Both fully support the war on Ukraine. Would be great if potential guests knew they were lining the pockets of war sympathisers and direct members of Putins Regime..

Those of you who have from elsewhere how do you spend your Sundays? Most things seem closed and the streets are generally quiet.

What does your typical Sunday look like? How do you like to spend your time? Also, any suggestions to make Sundays feel less lonely?

Did anyone else catch Dua's new music video for illusion (https://youtu.be/a9cyG_yfh1k) that was filmed right here in our city? She's dancing with the Sagrada Familia in the background.

As a local, it's so dope seeing city featured like that. Felt like I was watching a tourism ad but way cooler. I may or may not have replayed it a few times just to see my city shine 😊

Hola comunidad no soy de quejarme por ningún medio de red social, pero acabo de cancelar mi suscripción en Movistar sin más que decir, me llamaron para ofrecerme el paquete marcado en rojo, a mi pareja y a mi nos dijeron que teníamos internet 5g ilimitado, que no fue así, ya que solo era la de la línea principal, la otra fue que solicitamos una tarjeta E-sim que cuando llegamos a recoger nos dijeron que solo nos habían marcado dos tarjetas normales, que si queríamos una e-sim había que pagar 14 euros! Llamamos muchas veces para reportar y nos dicen siempre otra cosa que al principio no eran, a lo que voy es una pena que está compañía primero que todo dicen algo luego es otra cosa, se me olvidó contratamos para ver el fútbol y no podía verlo yo en mi dispositivo y nos dijeron que teníamos acceso 4 dispositivos ver los partidos que cosa que no fue así, y nos dinos de baja de ese paquete de fútbol y nos dijeron que teníamos que pagar en vez de 59 euros ahora serían 70€ en fin, sin más que hablar solo digo que no se dejen engatusar por lo que le hablan hoy en día muchas empresas actúan de ese modo de ver a los clientes con símbolo de euro en la cara en vez de ayudar para tener una conformidad con lo que solicitamos buen día!

No veo más trabajo en Superillas ni información al respecto en los periódicos.

¿Se detuvo el proyecto?

I see a few people here and there who look homeless but it’s usually just someone passed out on the street. I don’t see people sleeping in tents or whole communities under motorway bridges.

Are the homeless moved on by the authorities and “hidden” or is it not a big problem compared to cities like Los Angeles?

Los turistas están desencantados con Barcelona debido a la presencia de tantos barceloneses. Estos se dedican a caminar rápido por las aceras o a meterse en medio de las fotos estropeando la visita a los turistas. Que muchos vecinos pidan silencio por las noches también molesta a los turistas, que no pueden venir a divertirse tanto como quisieran. Como Barcelona no espabile, los turistas se irán.

...please remember the simple rules of the road and other road users.

I understand that your excited to be in Barcelona with your friends, but i also dont care if your riding dangerously or with no care for other cyclists.

The reason I say this is that I was just involved in an accident, resulting in me crashing. I won't get into it as i dont want to bore anyone, and besides, nothing was broken (just cuts), but it happened because two girls were cycling side by side, one in the wrong lane, far over enough to clip me when i was in the correct lane. There were 15 - 25 of them, and I cycled past half of them fine, but it only takes one mistake to cause an accident. It shouldnt matter but I am a man and I cant help but think what would have happened if it was a woman of child.

Again, enjoy the city, ride a bike not a car BUT dont be an idiot. We're not all just background characters for your Instagram feed
