My first night in Barcelona

Our first evening in Barcelona was definitely memorable.  We arrived in the city at about 7pm and went to a Mexican restaurant that Lucy had suggested.  The veggie quesadilla and the kooky decorations made me feel like I was back in California.  They even had mirror frames made out of bike tires. 

Next we headed over to La Bosc de Les Fades, or the Fairy Bar.  It was one of the coolest bars I've ever been too.  Fake trees and pools of water cover most of the bar, making you feel like you're a part of a fairy tail.  A side room is set up similar to the Haunted Mansion, making for an interesting juxtaposition.

After the Fairy Bar, we headed to Sub Rosa, a very warm and dark bar in an alley way off of a main plaza (I'm still trying to figure out location).  It was a nice change and felt very cozy, as we were there during happy hour ( ends at 11pm here).  As the bar started to fill up we decided to try another place that Lucy had been to.

Our last stop was L'Ovella Negra, or the Black Sleep.  This was a tavern style bar with tons of college students and twenty somethings.  I believe it was close to a University, and attracted both international students and young travelers from all over.  We met some guys from Andalucía (Southern Spain) who practiced their English with us.  

Finally at around 2, we decided to head to the bus.  What we didn't know is that this bus would drop us off 40 minutes walking distance away from our apartment. We ended up getting back at 4 am.  Getting back to our place will be a bit of an adjustment.  Either we get on the last train at 10:30pm, or wait for the bus which starts at 1:15 am and runs once an hour.  Or we could always wait for the train to start up again at 5am..... :-)

Until next time, ciao!
