Plugs

I just wanted to take a minute to plug some other useful and enjoyable sites about Barcelona.

Kids In Barcelona is what its name implies: a fantastic resource for anyone with children who either live here or are planning on a visit.

The Bad Rash, meanwhile, is a great blog for anyone interested in local politics, generating varied and impassioned comments from many readers.

If you're more in the mood for drinking, Drink Barcelona offers one of the more comprehensive guides to the bar and club scene here with rankings and maps.

Got visitors in town and don't feel like showing them the sights? I suggest The Barcelona Guide Bureau for some great and original tours with first rate guides.

There's also a new book about Spain called Courting the Bull, which is a collection of short stories and essays about the country written by expats.  I'm still waiting on a copy and when I get it, I'll post a review.

Finally, thanks to Where I Am - Suburbia for a list of useful topics on which to write. I'm always open to suggestions.
