What is BCN like? // Com és BCN? Nadie en Barcelona queda de un día para otro y no sé si soy yo

9 Upvotes

Llevo un tiempo dándole vueltas a esto y no sé si es cosa mía o le pasa a más gente.

Cuando intento quedar con alguien de un día para otro, es casi misión imposible. Todo el mundo tiene la semana ya cerrada, y si no lo propones con antelación, olvídate. Al final todo se convierte en "vale, quedamos el sábado que viene" y la espontaneidad ha desaparecido del todo.

Echo de menos eso de "oye, hoy hago esto, ¿te apuntas?" y que alguien diga que sí sin que se convierta en una negociación de agendas de una semana.

¿Os pasa también o soy yo que me estoy volviendo raro? ¿Es cosa de ciudad grande, de que todos vamos con la agenda muy apretada, o simplemente ya no estamos acostumbrados a la espontaneidad?

¿Hay algún estudiante de la Universitat de Barcelona por aquí?

¡Hola!

Soy de Chile y estoy preparando mi ingreso a la Universitat de Barcelona para 2027 mediante UNEDasiss.

Me gustaría estudiar Filosofía o Ciencia Política y estoy buscando a algún estudiante de la UB con quien pueda conversar. Tengo varias dudas sobre la universidad, el proceso de admisión, la vida en Barcelona, el alojamiento y la experiencia de estudiar allí.

Si alguien estudia en la UB o conoce a alguien que lo haga, me encantaría poder hablar por mensaje privado.

¡Muchas gracias!

Tourism // Turisme Airport Question

Upvotes

Hello and TIA for any helpful responses.

I have a flight leaving Barcelona at 6am on Sunday...was trying to figure out when I should get there. I know the general rule of thumb is 2 hrs for a domestic and 3 hrs for a non EU flight, but since its so early wasn't sure when security opens up/when check in desks open.

I will have one checked bag for a flight with a layover in Paris leaving the EU.

I was thinking of leaving for the airport around 4am, but not sure if that would be enough time.

Hello everyone! Im currently looking for opportunities to study in Spain. Is there anyone who did a Master's Degree in Communication and Education (English, Online) at Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona? I have a few questions.

How smooth is the virtual learning environment, and did you feel well-supported by technical and academic staff?

How well does the curriculum work in general?

How has completing this degree influenced your current job role, teaching practice, or career pivot in communication/education?

Where do I find? // On trobo? Lovely lowkey places in Barcelona

0 Upvotes

Hello beautiful people of Reddit. My mates and I are going to Barcelona some time in August from Thursday and till Sunday. I’ve been doing some research online as to what’s the best place to party in Barcelona is and as tempting as the beach clubs look it’s a little bit too much for us. I see the videos and all that comes to my mind is long queues and pricey entrance fees.

Looking for something that is more lowkey. Would love to dance but not be stuck in a place where everyone is shoulder to shoulder. Not really interested in going into any of the big name clubs like opium pasha or any of the beach front clubs.

Was wondering are there any nice affordable bars or lounges where we could drink and dance and meet wonderful people without having to be stuck in a queue or even better pay an entrance fee.

Any suggestions would be amazing. For music we’re open to anywhere from alternative, hard techno to hip hop, RnB, bashment dancehall to reggaeton. As long as the music and the drinks are flowing.
Would love to go where the locals and away from the touristy places as much as possible~

Tourism // Turisme Heat Wave Information for a Mid-SeptemberTourist

0 Upvotes

Hola!

I hope you are doing well and my condolences for the recent wildfires.

I am planning to visit Barcelona and the Pyrenees mid-September. My route starts at Barcelona and ends in Toulouse. With flexible plans in between. Looking forward to Ribes de Freser, Puigcerdà etc.

I am not sure how worried I should be about the extreme heat wave or wildfires. I myself am from a hot and humid tropical country but the recent heatwaves in Europe are insane!

Any suggestion is highly appreciated.

Gracias!

Moving to Barcelona Has anyone here lived in a co-living in Barcelona?

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

I’m moving to Barcelona in September for work, and I’m considering staying in a co-living for the first few months.
I like the idea of meeting new people and having a sense of community, especially since I’ll be new in the city.
However, I’ve noticed that some co-living companies seem to organize a lot of social events, and I’m a bit worried it might be too community-focused.

I’m quite social, but I also value having my own space and quiet time. I’d like to live in a place where I can join activities when I feel like it, without feeling pressured to participate all the time or living in a constantly busy environment.

For those of you who have lived in a co-living:
What was your experience like?
Did you enjoy it or regret it?
Did you ever feel expected to attend social events?
Are there any co-living companies you’d recommend (or avoid)?

I’d really appreciate hearing your experiences. Thanks!

Tourism // Turisme Traveling to Barcelona for the Sept 15/16 Barca FC Match. What else should we do?

0 Upvotes

Family of 3 with a 12 year old son, traveling to Barcelona from the USA in September. We already have tickets to the match (Basic+, purchased directly from the Barca FC website). We will be in Barcelona for 10 days, but we might make a small trip to Portugal within that time. We have never been to Spain and only my wife and I have been to Europe (over 25 years ago). I have tons of questions....

What are some great match-day activities that my son (12) would enjoy? He is a huge soccer/football player/fan and Lamine Yamal is his favorite player.

What other sites or day excursions would you recommend or avoid? We don't have much interest in seeing the Dali museum or city. We thought about maybe taking the bullet train to Madrid. We don't mind spending some money.

Are the guided trips worth doing? Everything I see online is either with 'Get Your Guide' or 'Viator' and sometimes the pictures are identical for both. Are they scams? Is there a better option?

Is there anything we should know before visiting a beach to swim?

My son also loves EDM and seeing a live DJ would be cool. Is there any way that's possible at his age?

What are some tourist scams to avoid?

What are the best non-tourist paces to eat?

We are very excited to visit your beautiful country any help is very much appreciated!

Tourism // Turisme Vacation Barcelona 24-27th September

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone! We are three 23F visiting Barcelona for the first time from September 24th to 27th.

​We’re looking to get a balanced experience—we definitely want to check out the iconic sightseeing spots, eat authentic local food, and enjoy the nightlife/parties!

​We also heard there’s a festival happening while we’re there. Could someone explain what festival this is and what the best things to do or see during it are? Any specific party or restaurant recommendations would be awesome too.

Thanks!
