Hmm places in Barcelona, it really depends on what you want.
Most clubs are very mixed especially the cooler ones. I would recommend:
Razmatazz - on the outskirts: 10euros in a taxi. A bugger to get home from if you can't flag one and don't know which way to walk BUT the most renowned club in town, indie, techno, live stuff, performance, bands, electro, the coolest kids in town, a really good night! You will probably need an ID to get in!
Apolo! My favourite club (ever) in an old theatre. Friday and Saturday nights they have electro/techno form the best DJ's. Apparat and Ellen Allien play there a lot. It's the real undercurrent crowd: artists, bands, photographers…
Restaurants: Tramola, is good for tapas. Most places in Barrio Gotico, there are so many, it’s really a case of see something you like the look of. BUT DON'T EAT ON THE RAMBLAS!
Fun things, you have to do the tourist trail, Gaudi cathedral and Gaudi Park. I like Monseraat up in the mountains, and also walk along the sea front and see the new part of town FORUM. On the way you go through Barcelonetta, a mix of bars and shops and cute houses.
My favourite bit of town is RAVAL, where I used to live. It’s the old prostitute area, and now Moroccan and Asian zone, loads of excellent bars, shops, and stuff.
Check out the modern art museum in RAVAL! And good bars are La Bata, and at the end of Rambla Raval is a nice bar the name escapes me.

In the day you have to go to in "La Bocaria" - it’s a big market from Las Ramblas. It s wonderful in this market - you can eat. You go in the back and you’ll see a restaurant where you eat in a bar. They have some fresh fish. I recommend you : palourdes + couteau
it s the best in Barcelona. So fresh !!
You can go to a restaurant called: “Rita Blue / Rita Rouge” it’s two restaurants - really cheap and so good. It s behind the market but just ask and everybody will know it.... hum
For drink a glass of wine you can go to: "Shilling" Calle Ferran... they have the best club sandwich too. Just for 4 euros!!! They have the Betty Ford and Benidorm. I don’t remenber the name of the street but ask young people everybody knows this place. They close at 2h00 am
After you go to “La Terazza” it’s a disotheque. So crazy, you really have to take a look. Take the magazine "Pilote" they have all the programmation and all the information you need.
But, the best for me is the “Razzmatazz”. It’s crazy!!!!! You have 5 different clubs. Miss Kittin, James Holden… The best!!!!
and you’ve got "The Moog" it’s cool too like The Rex in Paris....
Oh just a last one for eat, you take Joan Borbo and turn when you see "Pita Hut". You go like if you go the beach. The name is "Jaical". It’s close to the beach near a restaurant "Loubina" it’s so cheap and so good. The gambitas +pimiente verde+ patatas bravas!!!!
I’ll be there in Paris for the Qwartz Music Awards – we’ll go to the party!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
oh yeaaaaahhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!
big kisses!!!!!!!
