Flatshare wanted March 2012 by Clidna
Hello, I will be moving to Barcelona from Hong Kong in March 2012 so I'm looking for a flatshare. Originally from Scotland, I've never been to Barcelona, my office will be on Av Digonal in la Sagrada Familia so anywhere semi close to here would ...
If you haven't found anywhere yet, then idealista is a pretty good place to have a look. http://www.idealista.com They have quite a lot of flatshares advertised on there. Oh, and if you want to change the language to English then the language ... Read More
REGULAR EXPAT BLOG MEET UP- 30 March by NRGreer
Hi everyone. Great night at The Temple Bar. We discussed the possibility of having a regular, monthly, meet up. Very informal drop in for all Expat.comgers, friends and whoever else wants to come. I am thinking the last Friday of every month. ...
I haven't been on here for ages, been super busy with moving house, work, etc. etc. but I'll be there on the 30th. I live just down the road from there, but have never been in, I always just assumed it would be really touristy, I'm curious now :) Read More

Expat blog meetup - Friday 11th November by JPope
So, we haven't had an expat meetup from this forum for a while (that actually happens and people come to), so let's have one! We'll be meeting on the 11th November: London Bar, C/ Nou de la Rambla, 34 at about 8pm. Anyone who fancies coming ...
Its not expensive. They change prices at 9pm. Before 9 it is on the cheap side of average. After 9 it is just average. Best thing to do is buy a bottleof wine just before 9 :-) Read More
We're moving to BCN in April 2012 - need help with a few things! by kaylaurabarcelona
- Can anyone recommend a nice area to live in the city? (was thinking Eixample area) - How much am I likely to pay for a decent 1 bed apartment? - Is it best to have an apartment ready to move into or come over and stay in a hostel whilst we ...
If you're looking for the best location consider: the city center=the most crowded and noisiest place in the world, is not a good value since the flats are old and expensive. Eixample is a good option and is not unusual to find good prices for good ... Read More
