Some places are just of the chart burning with 10's. Anyone that as visited this city can tell you that you can find thousands of bars and hundreds of clubs, a lot of them listed in the mainstream guide books, that are a complete waste of time if your goal is to score on a night out in Barcelona. I'm not even talking about the dozens of venues where you pay 15 euros to get in, only to find out that there are 10 guys per each girl or, more often, that is completely empty and it will stay that way for the rest of the night. I'm talking about choosing a place that fits you, whether you're a guy in a suit or a backpacker and hitting that venue at the right time, with the right attitude, to make sure you really get lucky in BCN.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Of course this is a theme that will run through all the posts in this blog and I will give you specific details on strategies and places that will skyrocket your chances of having the night of your life, so take this as an introduction with a few precious tips that will make a huge difference on the way you experience Barcelona.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Keep in mind that you will a do a lot better if you also choose the type of venue that as the type of girls that you really want.

Sutton Club&lt;br /&gt;2. Ribelino's&lt;br /&gt;3. CDLC Barcelona&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;...like the alternative-rock type of girl:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1.

Roxy Blue Barcelona&lt;br /&gt;2. Bikini&lt;br /&gt;3. Catwalk&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These are broad, but yet filtered types of venues. But what if you just want diversity and don't really fit into any category? These are the top 3 places where you can find a good mix of beautiful people and are always &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;hot&lt;/span&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. Opium Mar&lt;br /&gt;2.

During the next weeks I will post a few tips and strategies that will make this easier for you. Barcelona has a good mix of daily social events where you'll be able to meet both local and international people while you engage on some cool activities.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That's all for now, more will come on this subject on my next posts!!!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4538532275124369439-1156458647887942225?l=datinginbarcelona.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://datinginbarcelona.blogspot.com/feeds/1156458647887942225/comments/default' title='Enviar comentarios'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://datinginbarcelona.blogspot.com/2010/02/where-to-meet-girls-in-barcelona-top-3.html#comment-form' title='0 comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4538532275124369439/posts/default/1156458647887942225'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4538532275124369439/posts/default/1156458647887942225'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://datinginbarcelona.blogspot.com/2010/02/where-to-meet-girls-in-barcelona-top-3.html' title='Where to meet girls in Barcelona - Top 3 Venues'/><author><name>Luke Devon</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15384528110940593579</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4538532275124369439.post-1521485149498451212</id><published>2010-02-01T15:51:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-02-18T07:16:12.333-08:00</updated><title type='text'>The Brandery Barcelona - Urban Fashion Event of the Season</title><content type='html'>&lt;object width="600" height="338"&gt;&lt;param name="allowfullscreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=9040445&amp;amp;server=vimeo.com&amp;amp;show_title=1&amp;amp;show_byline=1&amp;amp;show_portrait=0&amp;amp;color=ffffff&amp;amp;fullscreen=1"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=9040445&amp;amp;server=vimeo.com&amp;amp;show_title=1&amp;amp;show_byline=1&amp;amp;show_portrait=0&amp;amp;color=ffffff&amp;amp;fullscreen=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" width="600" height="338"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Last week Barcelona celebrated it’s 2nd edition of The Brandery-  a replacement for Bread and Butter fashion week, which previously was held in Barcelona. The amazing B&amp;amp;B was held here for about 8 years and left a lot of memories of fashion parties and events that are now back in town. For a week, an already packed city got an extra boost of beautiful people from the international fashion circus.

Barcelona is still the charming and cosmopolitan port town on the shores of the Mediterranean sea. But thanks to a vibrant crowd of students, artists and creative professionals from all over Europe, Barcelona is also the most international city in Spain. Barcelona is now considered one of the world's most exciting cities to life in, ranking in the top positions of all the  "Best quality of life" surveys done by the main bussiness and entertainment magazines. Recently AskMen's anual report of "&lt;a href="http://www.askmen.com/specials/2009_top_29/" target="new"&gt;Best Cities To Live In 2009&lt;/a&gt;", a report that considers factors such as "Dating &amp;amp; Sex", ranked Barcelona as the #2, with good reasons for the top position.&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;So, what's the relevance of all this for the dating scence in Barcelona? Actually, having a vibrant community of people connected with fashion, design, art and style, made Barcelona a true meditteranean capital of the nightlife , serving as the all year round Ibiza for the urban crowd.  Barcelona attracts now hundreds of party people from all over the world and, together with the warm weather and the relaxed vibe that an amazing beach lends to the old town, that makes this city the best place for hooking up and having a summer fling, even if we are still in January.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;What i'm trying to say is: If you know where to go and some basic insider tips to make your life easier and avoid tourist traps, it's impossible to come to Barcelona and not get laid.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4538532275124369439-3877552828715699295?l=datinginbarcelona.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://datinginbarcelona.blogspot.com/feeds/3877552828715699295/comments/default' title='Enviar comentarios'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://datinginbarcelona.blogspot.com/2010/02/dating-in-barcelona-about-dating-scene.html#comment-form' title='0 comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4538532275124369439/posts/default/3877552828715699295'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4538532275124369439/posts/default/3877552828715699295'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://datinginbarcelona.blogspot.com/2010/02/dating-in-barcelona-about-dating-scene.html' title='Dating in Barcelona - About the dating scene in Barcelona'/><author><name>Luke Devon</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15384528110940593579</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4538532275124369439.post-6615947454963183252</id><published>2010-01-03T05:03:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-02-16T14:50:41.336-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Welcome</title><content type='html'>Welcome to Dating in Barcelona .
