Mar Bella was pretty good. But, it's at almost the very end of the beaches along there, so pretty far from the main beach scene. Long walk from the touristy area, but my hotel last time was close to it. There is a beach bar/restaurant close by that's hoppin' with a cool crowd. However, it has a view of the next beach down, which is not nude. Barcelona is one of my favorite cities in Europe. I've been fortunate enough to get over their for business maybe 10 times and always take time for fun.
Good deal. I was working for 10 weeks during the summer at a major telecommunications provider in Madrid. It's a nice European city, with fast transportation, that cools down fast after sunset. The nightlife is superb.
I’ve been to Madrid twice, but really didn’t get much time to enjoy it either time. I did see the usual old stuff in old town. Seemed like a really cool city, especially from an historic standpoint. Couldn’t be any more different from Barcelona, including the language!!
Si, si. I sort of absorbed the lingo during my visit. When I speak phrase book Spanish, native speakers from South America ask if I am from west Madrid.
I speak enough Spanish to get by. My first trip to Barcelona I didn’t know they speak Catalonian. Sounds like Spanish, but so many words are different I could barely read a menu.
Yup. After a couple of weeks, you learn to recognize which people originally spoke Catalonian. I could never understand those people. But people from up on the North coast speak with such a pristine enunciation that they can be understood anywhere.
Would you get naked at a nude resort?
