Budget tips in Barcelona

Friday, April 18th, 2008

Hi everyone!

Here I am again. I was thinking about an original subject to write about. Well I was thinking about a tipical subject for students: Budget tips!!
You want to do and see a lot here in Barcelona, but you do not want to spend all the money you got, right? So I will give you some tips and places you can go.

Well, like you all probably know, the Spanish Cooking is famous for its Paella. There are different types of paella. If you do not like sea food, you can order a ‘paella’ with meat or vegetables. Or if you like both you can order a ‘mixed paella’. I know a very good restaurant which is very cheap and that I would like to recommend you, where you can eat the best paella! 

The name of the restaurant is: La Fonda. It is situated in a side street of Plaza real: ‘Pasaje Escudellers’ But: if you want to go, you should be there at 20.15 pm, as there is normally a queu to get in, but when the restaurant opens at 20.30 you are garanteed to come in. Just for your information… Of course you can eat other things apart from paella. Just see it for yourselves. You can eat a ‘menu’ (starter, main course and dessert) with drinks for about 17 euros!

Budget tip number 2: Xampaneria
