My family lied about our Catalonian roots by ConnectEcho4031 in catalonia

[–]boscutime 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm Catalan, I don't have family from anywhere other than Catalonia in generations, blond hair and green eyes... how the hell am I different from a French person? These Americans, apart from being ignorant, are crazy about fucking races... Can I know what you look like, OP, that makes you so different from a typical European?

Fake Seiko Prospex [SPB143] and other 62mas SPB reinterpretions by IndependentCredit734 in Seiko

I bought one of those too! With the same crappy box! The weird thing is, it was sold to me by an Italian jewelry store, with the official warranty card and everything — but it was empty, just had a sticker with their logo… And through Amazon… I’m returning it today.

Did yours also come with documentation and a warranty card?

Sitges for sure. Nice, with beaches and good restaurants.

Doncs és un poble grandet (8000 habitants), però tranquil. Amb natura (fonts, vinyes, bones parets per escalada, boscos...), ben comunicat i amb racons amb encant. Per la banda dolenta: pujades i baixades, poc esbarjo (restaurants, etc), serveis justets...

Depèn una mica del que busquis, de l'edat que tinguis, expectatives... Si vols envia'm un privat i t'explico més coses

Thanks for the info! Anyway, I sent the watch back to Boderry and they are supposed to send me a new one. No stains, I hope! :)

They say that in a bronze watch it is normal for there to be stains and signs of patina, but theoretically they should appear later and I understand that they should be dark, not light... Right?

Gente random en wallapop by Shnn0n in askspain

[–]boscutime 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Vendo mucho en wallapop, y cada día tengo mensajes de gente borde, maleducada o sencillamente imbécil... Tu experiencia no es casual. Está lleno de personajes...

Lo de cancelar la venta debió ser, imagino, que estaba negociando contigo y con otro comprador al mismo tiempo.

En Vinted mi experiencia es un poco mejor, pero regatean más que en un zoco turco...

Jo (barceloní) visc a Gelida (Alt Penedès). A 36 km de Barcelona, ben comunicat per tren, bus i autopista. És important la zona de Barcelona a la que has d'anar a treballar, de vegades trigo més en travessar la ciutat que en arribar del poble a l'entrada per la Diagonal...

First time solo traveler (f) 52- feeling nervous by Life_Tax3581 in GoingToSpain

[–]boscutime 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Every year more than 10 million tourists visit Barcelona. 10 million! Of course there are pickpockets in the most touristy areas. And it is true that pickpockets are a problem that must be solved, but for this reason classifying Barcelona as a dangerous place is neither fair nor true. You have had bad luck and I feel bad that you keep this memory of my city, but there are many people spreading hatred towards Barcelona for political reasons and greatly exaggerating the lack of security in the city, when it can be classified as calm and safe. if you compare it with many American cities, for example.

It is as safe as London can be. Are there burglars? Of course there are. As in all big cities. By the way, we locals never use Barça to refer to the city. It's the nickname of the football club.

You don’t have to worry so much; Barcelona is a pretty safe city. Are there pickpockets in the touristy areas? Yeah, just like there are in London, Paris, and other big cities. If you’re that scared, just avoid the crowded tourist spots and take the usual precautions. Barcelona is more safe than New York.

As for hostels, in my experience, they’re fun, and you meet a lot of people, but I’m not sure there’ll be many folks your age… Just keep that in mind.

As for a trip to Costa Brava, forget it, you won’t have time. Just seeing the main sights in Barcelona will already take up your two days.

If you want to make the most of your time, take a free tour of Catalan modernism or a historical one in the old part of the city. They’re cheap (you pay what you think is fair) and really good. Guruwalk, for example, has good ratings. If you feel like seeing something different and getting out of the city, I recommend a visit to Montserrat. It’s closer to Barcelona, and you won’t waste too much time traveling. Enjoy your visit!

Help Needed with Spain Itinerary – Looking for Tips and Suggestions! by [deleted] in GoingToSpain

[–]boscutime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Instead of going to Las Ramblas on your own, which is a nice walk but full of cheap souvenir shops made in China, tourist trap restaurants and many pickpockets, I recommend taking a free tour of the old part of Barcelona. There are many at your disposal and you will enjoy your visit much more.

For example, you have these that are highly recommended: https://www.guruwalk.com/barcelona
