Bar Aurora in Raval Barcelona

Filed under: Barrio "Raval", Bars — kasper @ 9:10 am

This bar in Raval is famous for its Mojito. The crowd is really great, kinda boheme style, cool cocktails… and the decor is RED. The Bartenders are very friendly, and makes some of the barcelonas best cocktails. The atmosphere is nice, music great Ecleclic comes to mind. They serve food on some nights, but be sure to ask if the kitchen is still open. the bar more or less turns into a nightclub after 23.00 - 00.00, but still we would categorize Aurora Bar as a Bar ;)

2007 Sonar Festival Accommodation Barcelona

Sonar Festival 2006

Barcelona, Sonar Festival 2006 accomodation: Apartments, Hotels, Hostels or even renting a tent! The Barcelona Sonar festival 2006 of electronic music. House, techno and chill out music, loads of international DJ’s performing, and multimedia projections take over Barcelona for a week in the middle of June. Two parts make out this festival: Sonar by Day and the Sonar by Night .

The Sonar by Day is held at CCCB, MACBA, Centre d’Art Santa in the Raval district of Barcelona. The Sonar by night takes place in the Hospitalet de Llobregat - Fira 2.

Foreigners from all over the world come to Barcelona to experience this unique festival. If you are an advanced music fan, do not miss the Sonar festival .

But the big question appears every year… Where the hell is it possible to find a place to sleep in those days? Barcelona goes crazy during Sonar festival and hotels are fully booked, apartments goes to the highest bidder, and people sell tents for people to sleep in parks or on the beach…

So… My recommendation would be to get my finger out the belly button and find a place right now… Look at Cheap Accommodation Online they have affordable accommodation online.. under 30 euros a night guaranteed!

Other online accomodation sites are Sleepsi or Apartmentsi ! Good sites but more expensive, and higher level.. they call it sleep 4 star for the price of 3 stars. They sell excess capacity of hotels, getting special negotiated prices… pretty cool!

well.. good luck with the hunting guys… see you at the Sonar Festival 2006!!!
