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. Possibly in the Opera Cafe (bar) opposite the opera house on La Ramblas. They have a couple of rooms upstairs that are usually pretty quiet.

So, unless someone has a better alternative, let's say:

Friday 30 March
9pm - upstairs in Opera Cafe


For the first one,  please post a reply so that we can see if there is sufficient interest.

Now go and spread the word.

Thanks

Robin

Thanks for the message.

I will try to get down earlier, but if you are the first please hold a table. Things tend to start a bit later in Barcelona.

Hello, I would like to join ... is there more info? What are the meetings about if at all?  :)  Karina

NRGreer

Hi Karina, it is all very informal. No agenda, just a general meet up to meet others who have landed here. Make friends, get advice, drink beer. I hope to meet you soon. Robin

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 :)

NRGreer

Hi, would be great to see you again. Opera Cafe is an interesting place, I went first because there is a Hemingway story set in the place. The customers come in shifts, tourists, local bar flies, La Ramblas streetlife on a break, the after opera crowd, etc. But it seem to have remained very authentic, though some of the old time grandeur has faded. They have done a good job of renovating upstairs.
