At La Boqueria they sell awesome combinations of blended fruit drinks. Our tip is to walk past the stalls at the front of the market and head to the second and third rows of stalls. You’ll find the same drinks, except they're quite a bit cheaper than the stalls at the front of the market. Barcelona’s La Boqueria should perhaps come with a health warning because there's so much to-die-for food & treats wherever you look!

Would it be better to fly there, rent car
Or bike or tour guide by bus??
Or fly in and stay 3 days at least then jump cruise ship and when coming back to Barcelona, fly to Madrid for a few days. Also – rent scooter, tour guide or
bicycle rental and wing it?!

Thanks for sharing your thoughts on Barcelona. That’s a good tip for avoiding those pesky 3% fees!

Just spent 3 months traveling in Barcelona, San Sebastian, Paris and Italy. Two items about Barcelona bothered me:
1) The processing of restaurant and hotel bills in “Dollars” rather than “Euros” without your consent. This adds 3% fees and poor exchange rates to the transaction. Always start a payment with “En Euros, por favor.” This fee driven larceny does not exist in Paris or Italy.
2) Change money using banks without fees. Some local banks charge 3% of the transaction. When you see a fee like this just cancel the transaction. Deutsch Bank does not add fees.
