I'm a portuguese guy, born in a small village in the northern coast, but one has to seek for fortune so I came to Barcelona in 2005, with a bag full of illusion and empty pockets. I started wandering around only with a map and no camera, so I kept the places I visited in my mind. Almost all my friends were in the same situation, so we became experts in finding cheap but great places to eat, drink and have fun. Barcelona locals say "Barcelona és bona si la bolsa sona", in catalán means "Barcelona is good if your wallet is full". But there's a cheaper and funnier way Barcelona.
