BWBlackett Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 Has anyone from the Uk any experience of caching in or near Barcelona? We've just booked our holiday there for 2 weeks next May. I've looked at the map on GC and there are around 40 in the area. Any recommendations ? Brian The Jones' Quote Link to comment
+rutson Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 Forty caches? two weeks? I assume you just want advise on what order to do them in then? Quote Link to comment
+Simply Paul Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 Loved my 2nd visit to the city earlier this year Barcelona by Yellow Jacket and Lectro - Virtual with great views over the city. Have a read of my Feb 17th log for some extra help Castell de Montjuïc (Barcelona) by Ana, Albert and Mariona - Physical in a really interesting location. Take the underground tram from Parallel, then then cable-car (if it's been replaced) or else enjoy the climb and the views. There's a multi which ends at Parc Guell. I didn't do it, but the park is well worth a visit. One of my favourite places in Barcelona. Enjoy your trip! Quote Link to comment

+douglasf Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 Actually I'm there for work in 3 weeks (any TechED people let me know ) so I'm interested in knowing if there are any [really] good caches that can be done late afternoon / early evening. Quote Link to comment
+sfab Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 I attempted a few this summer. In Barca Gardens series is OK small city parks I found GCM6WO, GCM5Q6 and DNF'd GCQ64R a nice park at the back of the New Camp, and GCQ3GE. Failure factors were, poor GPS signal, caches placed in bushes (scared of biting things!), alone (rubish finder, but persistent..) and well armed police strolling about! Any would be an ok evening stroll. However, they look to have impressive puzzel caches but I did not have time to prepare so did the 'easy' ones. You will need to find a 'Catalan' language translater to research the cache write ups! The caches in the countryside are protected by very thorny scrub! Quote Link to comment
+Hi-5ers Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 Castell de Montjuïc (Barcelona) by Ana, Albert and Mariona - Physical in a really interesting location.

I didn't do it, but the park is well worth a visit. One of my favourite places in Barcelona. Enjoy your trip! We spent a long weekend in Barcelona at Easter and did Castell de Montjuic and Parc Guell. Both were excellent. The Castell de Montjuic took us along great paths with views of the docks, and Parc Guell was great as it took us to various Gaudi-related architecture places we would not otherwise have found.
