Im going with my two friends (all male) on tuesday and will be there until saturday.its going to be an extreme budget trip. we'll be staying in a really cheap (~$25/night) hostel for referencewe're mostly interested in:>free landmarks to visit>exploring the urban landscape>drinking at cheap casual bars/taverns/whatever the equivalent is therei dont know a lick of spanish or catalanalso are pickpockets really an issue?im mostly just looking for suggestions on what to do aside from the obvious answers and where to eat/drink and any other things i should know as an American.we're in our early 20's so it would be fun to meet some other young people as well
I visited Europe 20 years ago and it was the only place in Europe I felt I had to keep my hands in my pockets at all times. Felt the same way in Mexico City. go to the beach
>>2868648damn even 20 years ago?would you guess its gotten better or worse?
>>2868650its very crowded and busy if you want that, you want that, I suggest Italy instead, rural spain was nice toogaudi architecture is not my thing
>>2868651we're going because it was the cheapest ticket overseas and are just doing something for spring break
>>2868652enjoy getting pickpocketed
>>2868653ok dude
>>2868647>my two friends (all male)Weird way to put it. Are you a woman?
>>2868647If that's the rate per bunk, then you'll be spending $75 per night on lodging in a fucking hostel. Time to stop pretending this is going to be a cheap trip. I bet you three will spend $50 per day on booze.
>>2868663no nigga>>2868693yea that was the cheapest we could find with all the taxes included. the plane tickets were free so yea it will be pretty cheap trip for overseas. might spend maybe $250 per person the whole trip.why are you so mad
>>2868647the cheap bars are the ubiquitous chinese run bars/cafe on every street corner, coffee and a croissant for a few euros, bottles of beer for a few euros (2-3), they won't provide rowdy nightlife but great spots for euromaxxing with a few mates, there are few with nice views near arc de triomfre pick pockets just keen an eye on your stuff and look out for people with higher melanin levels
>"budget trip" to one of the most expensive cities in the EUanon, I...1.16 USD = 1 EURYour slim pockets about to get BTFO in La Rambla, and not by nafri pickpockets eitherJust stick to the beach like anon said. Don't forget your euro coins so you can pay to piss.
Go to the beach in one of those villages nearby.
