    The restaurants in this square near the Ramblas have the worst paelia and food in whole spain. Because they are always full of tourists due to the position of the square (just near ramblas street) they serve ready made frozen food. If you don't have taste at all or are very very hungry then eat here else avoid these restaurants. One good restaurant was the "ATIC" on the ramblas street on the first floor.

    Las Ramblas: What exactly do the waiting staff mean?

  • There were two traps that I have encountered in Barcelona - they are:

    1. The staff at the doors of restaurants will entice you into the restaurant; then the staff inside will tell you that there is a 30 minute wait - please have some drinks at the bar!

    2. When entering several restaurants, I have asked if they accept Amex. The staff tell you yes - but when the bill arrives they refuse the Amex card!

    The suggestions to beat these tourist traps are:

    1. If you encounter the time delay trap - just walk out - when it has happened to me, the long wait suddenly becomes a few minutes and you are seated quickly afterwards.

    2. If you have an Amex card, ensure that you also have enough cash to pay for the bill.

    I know these may be a little trite, but all I can suggest for alternatives are eat in restaurants that display the Amex symbol on the front door and seem to have lots of staff and seating capacity.

    This is main street in Barcelona. It is very odd street in the waves and considerable long. La Rambla wasn´t like to me because on the both side of pedesrian zone, which is very narrow, are very busy streets. In pedestrian zone you may met milion people and clash whith them. In this reason you must be so careful and keep atention on yours things because this street is full of the thiefs.

    Las Ramblas: Finding the Lady in Barca

  • Watch out for the card scam's going on in La Ramblas. There are usually 6-8 involved & the start playing 'find the lady' one 'punter' will put money down on a card & win, the next go he gets distracted & asks you which card to put his money he wins again, then he says to you have a go, that's when you are snared & so is your money. Also beware of pickpockets.

    If you get asked say 'I wasn't watching' & walk away.
