It seems no better place in the world and to each Barcelona which has not yet seen, it should in any case. Barcelona is one of my definite favorite cities. Barcelona has 1.5 million inhabitants and is the second largest city in Spain. It is located on the shores of the Mediterranean and the climate is just fantastic. In comparison to other European cities, Barcelona is not too expensive, it is there in any case cheaper than in England. You can eat anywhere cheap and there are numerous opportunities for shopping.

Basics
The architecture is breathtaking, it is a mixture of modern architecture and the Gothic style, which mainly be found in the center. The main courses, which you should watch, the "Las Ramblas" and "Port Olimpic. The Ramblas consist of a tangle of roads, which spread over several kilometres. The main street is a huge promenade with shops and restaurants and connects the Christopher Columbus monument with the Placa Cataluna. This way, any visitor to Barcelona once. The other attraction is the Port Olimpic, which for the 1992 Olympics was built. In this part of the city is also home to the casino. A very elegant area with beautiful beaches, trendy bars, shops and many other amenities.
In Barcelona, there are some cultural attractions. To check it out in the Park Guell walk or make a day trip in the Ciutadella Park (with a connected Zoo). The Gothic architecture in the Gothic parts of the city is certainly worth seeing. It is always a good idea to take a day to poker and to think instead of historical interest. This, I especially all the players, which is based on tilt.

Food, women and wine
Barcelona is characterized primarily by its bustling atmosphere. In the bars and clubs steppt day and night the bear. Barcelona is a collection point for many great people who visit in this city an unforgettable experience.

This is some of my friends are gourmet, I can recommend them some restaurants. Excellent food, there is e.g. El Japones Del Tragaluz or Thai Gardens. Cuisine best you can in Los Caracoles (table reservations recommended) enjoy. It could well be that you have during the EPT Barcelona some of the poker pros. But not only Local dese three are recommended, in Barcelona, visitors can of course also a lot of other restaurants to discover.

Some of my friends gave me tips on the hottest clubs in the city. The two best nightclubs are certainly the catwalk and the opium Mar. As in most large cities in Europe, can also be found in any quantity Barcelona bars, nightclubs and economies, they can be sure that for every taste. You just look at Barcelona, which is enormous selection or ask me in our forum.

Beaches
Beaches in Barcelona are simply indescribable. They extend along the entire city, the casino is also located near the beach. There are 7 official beaches in Barcelona, all beaches are "topless" or even "naturist", so you should not be alarmed if you suddenly a lot of nudity to be seen. Make sure that you have appropriate clothing and plenty of sunscreen bring. It belongs to the label, incidentally, that one beach makes no photos or film.

I can understand the beaches without exception all very recommend. The beaches near the casinos are currently just announced very, which is why all of these beaches are relatively expensive. If you have something along the coast drive, you can find outside of Barcelona a little quieter beaches, which together with their friends or her family can enjoy.

EPT Barcelona facts and scheduling:
The EPT started in the last 4 years in Barcelona and was the main event from year to year bigger and better. The prize pool rose from 229,000 € in Season One to € 4,181,100 in last year's Four Season.

In the last year had record-breaking 543 players participated in the main event and in 2008, this record certainly broken. In the Gran Casino Barcelona, this year expects about 600 players, which is a prize pool in the amount of 4.8 million. Everything this year is bigger and better, so you should not wait any longer and their tickets as soon as possible book. The casino itself is also part of the top class and offer the players in the inner several exclusive restaurants.
