“I stayed at W Barcelona — while it’s a 5-star hotel, the service I experienced felt more like 1-star, especially as a Black guest. Both Fire Restaurant and Salt Restaurant gave very poor treatment, so if you’re Black, be prepared for that possibility. The hotel itself is stylish but can feel boring if you’re not into clubs. Unless you enjoy historical sites, there isn’t much to do nearby — for more adventurous activities, you’ll need to travel about an hour away from the hotel.”
If you go for 3 days, you will wish you stayed more! Easy to get around. Visit other cities in Spain!!
Barcelona, Spain was a favorite of ours to the point, I did not want to return. Wow the touristy locations were very accommodating. We ventured out on our own and found the locals to be wonderful. We felt very much so at home.
Been to Barcelona, twice. Once as a single man, then again with my wife and toddler.
I love it there, the food, culture, history and vibes are just amazing. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to travel.
I studied, lived, and worked here over the course of two years. I experienced a lot of micro aggressions and stares. I was, unfortunately, also asked for sex especially walking through El Raval. The food is okay. I’d stay away from the touristy areas if you want good paella. Menu del día is a thing which is nice because you get three courses for a good price.
There’s a better beach than Barceloneta but it’s in Badalona, if you’re willing to take the metro ride. Bunkers is a good place to get a good view of the city but it’s also a bit of a climb. Air quality is really bad because the city is small and overcrowded so take a mask. Experience might be a little different as a tourist than living there while Black. It is not somewhere I’d want to live again as a Black woman.
The infrastructure is nice. We walked all day & night, looking around the city.
I wouldn’t be interested in going back. It’s not my favorite place.
