It is absolutely necessary...
by Cyndel
It is absolutely necessary that you descended to marinaded it. Far from the museums, to the port, there is not an immense glazed building. Of the outside, in the beginning, one can believe in another museum, but well on the contrary it is an immense center of boutique! If you want bring back something of Barcelona of unique, pass by there! Best to discover Barcelona is to leave of the big streets and to leave to the discovery with the passing of the small alleys. There will always be someone for you help to recover your path.
L'ou com balla -- Dancing egg
by mmurie
This is a XIXth century's Barcelona custom whith a quite unknown origin, that is celebrated in th Cathedral on Corpus day.
That day the fountain of the cloister is decorated with green branches and cherries. On the top of the spout there is an egg, that with the water force it moves it and it looks like it would be dancing.
It is said, if the egg brokes, it will be a bad luck day.
Packing List
by l_joo
Rivaldo has issued an angry ultimatum to the Barcelona president Joan Gaspart accusing the club of failing to honour the multi-million dollar contract he signed last year.
The Brazilian international says that if he does not receive a salary increase he claims he is owed he will assume that the club do not want him to play for them in the forthcoming season.
In an open letter to Gaspart - part of which is reproduced on Rivaldo's personal webpage (www.rivaldo10.com) - the former World and European Player of the Year says he will not join the club for pre-season training unless the matter is resolved.

I could not remember where this picture was taken, but another VT member, kazander, took a picture of it as well. From her page I learned this picture was taken somewhere near the Cathedral in Barcelona. Check it out! It's quite beautiful.
Eclectic Shopping in Raval
by jhoolko about Shoes / Clothes
If you've been shoppping in Barcelona, chances are you've gotten your fair share of Zara and H&M. But for something really original, head into El Raval. Take a right on c/ Bonsucces or c/ Tallers. The latter, in particular has one incredible, nameless vintage store with an incredible selection of boots. It's on your left a few doors down. There's purchases to be made for every budget, and the area is an exciting, eclectic change from your typical shopping experience.
