Dos and Don'ts in Barcelona

144470387_8dd4306d73_m.jpgIf you spent your holidays in Barcelona, you might do not bring your own car. Because often the streets are totally overcrowded and especially in the rush-hour you are faster by walking! But if you still want to drive by car, you should not leave your valuables in the car when you go away, because they will be stolen when you come back. If you book a Barcelona hotel in the city centre, you don't even need a car.
If you smoke, you have to go outside the bars and restaurants. In some of them it is allowed to smoke inside and they are marked.
When doing some sightseeing, don't go in your beach dress. Short trousers and shirts are not the best way of dressing when you would like to visit a historic church or monuments. And in restaurants you will gain a smile when you wear sandals with white socks. But the most important point is that thieves directly identify you as a tourist. Therefore, it is better not to use a handbag while strolling. The best way to protect you from bandits is just to take a Spanish newspaper in your hands and enjoy Barcelona!
