Riding the Rails in Europe
Blog: Nomadic Matt's Travel Site - 13 November 2009
One of the highlights of my recent trip to Europe was all the train travel I did. Using my Eurail pass, I rode across the continent through the amazing scenery. In the past, I had done limited train travel but, usually my travel plans are always random, so I typically jet set around Europe on [...]

The Doctors and Brazil
Blog: Send The Bugger Back - 12 November 2009
I sorted out my bus ticket for Madrid in the morning, I’m getting the 10:45 getting in at 14:30 and it cost 15 Europeans. The lady didn’t speak any Spanish so I wrote down what I wanted, it then occurred to me that tomorrow is Friday 13th. Crikey. After a bit more lazing about I done [...]

Apathetic in Aragon
Blog: Send The Bugger Back - 11 November 2009
Mercadona is the name of that supermarket I went to yesterday, I nipped back today to grab a sandwich for lunch. They have a little couple of seconds theme tune they play all the time that is just the name twice. It’s so catchy though. I actually think it’s some charts tune modified as I’m [...]

Supermarket sweep
Blog: Send The Bugger Back - 10 November 2009
I need to confirm this but my initial research indicates that the train to Madrid which takes about 90 minutes costs between 35 and 50 €, that’s ludicrously expensive. Buses look to be a lot cheaper but take ages so I’ll have to weigh it all up. The hostel is okay, the massive building has bags [...]

Lady on La Rambla
Blog: A Lady in London - 7 November 2009
Last time I was in Barcelona I was 18 years old. I had no knowledge of Gaudi, no passion for food, and no limit to the amount of clothing I was willing to purchase from the stores in Barri Gotic.Ah, how times have changed. This weekend I was back in Barcelona, excited for Casa Batllo, hungry for tapas, and completely uninterested in buying anything I couldn't eat immediately.

Unusual Things to do in Barcelona on holiday
Blog: Barcelona Travel and Living - 21 October 2009
You might want to visit Barcelona just to head to the beach and relax for a few days. Alternatively, you may be interested in spending a few days visiting every Gaudi attraction and site which time permits you to see. The Nou Camp Stadium tour and shopping are two other popular choices. You can though choose some more rather unusual options whilst on holidays.

Barcelona Metro System
Blog: Barcelona travel and culture - 20 October 2009
Getting around Barcelona is quite easy with a very good local transportation system in place in the city. Plenty of yellow and black taxis roam the city, the buses cover most of the city and the Metro System (underground in London and called a subway system in some places) is arguably one of the best in the world.

Sitges and Day Trips from Barcelona
Blog: Barcelona Travel and Living - 5 October 2009
There is so much to do and see in Barcelona that the idea of taking a day trip from Barcelona seems a crazy idea. Why visit outside of Barcelona when there is just so much to do and see in the city itself, including all of Gaudi's attractions, the beach and the shopping. Many people though love to get out of the big city for a day and their are in fact some good options.
