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 
I think that if there is a place you can always go and hang out at, it is Club Trece in Plaza Reial. Even if you just want to go and hang in a bar and get a drink, or you want to go and eat at the cozy restaurant, Club Trece is a good answer to your prayers. Though in the summer time they very often sell out, and ride the hip-hop and RnB wave that attacks Barcelona with the tourists every summer. But at this time of year Club 13 is having a pretty cool scene for foreign electronica DJs, and furthermore have a Sunday “electronica Post-Resaca” session with Electronica DJs such as Angel Fernandez (bcn), Mitja (slov) and Gaelle (fr).
But otherwise I would say that Saturday is the day to go to Club Trece if you want to party with a cool party crew in Barcelona. The bar is not one of the cheapest ones, but you do not want to go there before 12.30 or 01.00 anyways, so if you’re in a tight financial spot, grab some drinks at home or start out at Princessa 23, where the drinks are cheaper…
Some general facts/ideas:
When you go there they will send you down to the basement, where they have 2 areas with different kinds of music. Sometimes the room on your right, when you’re comming down the stairs, is very smokey, which is quite stressfull for the eyes… I mean VERY smokey… even now after the smoking prohibitions. The toilet is up the other sets of stairs you will see those at the foot of the “entry” stairs at the area where you leave your jacket!
Hope you will enjoy

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!!!
I just met this guy who has got some pretty cool websites where you can easily locate cheap hotels in Barcelona, Spain or cheap hotels in Madrid, Spain… he even has a website with cheap hotels in Paris, France!
The websites are cool because of the very easy navigation, and the fact that no hotel featured will cost more than 30 Euros per night! That might be the reason for the name; Barcelona30.com or Madrid30.com the Paris version is a bit more expensive though.. Paris35.com is featuring hotels at maximum 35 Euros per night!
If you need more exclusive accomodation the solution could be the SleepSi.com or apartmentSi.com where the luxurious hotel rooms can set you back up to 200 Euros a night!
Of the luxurious hotels in Barcelona the following are:

The 14th and 15th centuries were for Barcelona one of its periods of greatest importance, coinciding with the cityscontrol of the trade routes to the Orient, a fact which stimulated the expansion of the local economy. In only two centuries Barcelona built the last two walls around her original Roman nucleus: the first running as far as the Rambla, at that time a water course, and the second encircling the Raval district, in which a number of religious houses had been established. The Cathedral is inevitably the organizing element in any Gothic city, and we therefore propose to start a visit here. Built in the main during the 14th century, it has naves, all of more or less the same height, which gives the whole a sense of being a single space, quite different from the effect produced by Gothic cathedrals in northern Europe.
The Placa Sant Jaume was laid out in 1824 on top of the central point of the old Roman fort, when a law made it necessary to move all cemeteries outside the walled city. This circumstance provided the opportunity to construct the neoclassical facadeof the Ajuntament, or City Hall.However the main entrance to the cothic building is still to be seen on the side façade, and the Salo De Cent has also been conserved , the seat first Catalan parliament with its flat beamed roof over slender arched windows. Opposite the Ajuntament is the Palau de la Generalitat guarding in its interior its courtyard of orange trees. Both of these buildings are magnificent examples of the influence of Moorish architecture on catalan gothic, a consequence of the conquest of the kingdoms of Mallorca and Valencia by King Jaume 1. A few steps from the Palau we come to the Placa de Rei, in which we find the Palau Reial Major, of which the Salo del Tinell, and the Santa Agueda chapel are important parts.
Continuing our itinerary along Calle Ferran, a street opened in the same way as Haussman was doing in Paris, to impose some order to the heterogeneity of the historic centre, we come to the Placa Reial, a porticoed square in the style of main plazas, on the site of a former convent. Another square, the placa Sant Josep, now occupied by the Boqueria Food Market has a similar origin. Before making a our way down the Rambla, we might pass by the palace built by Antoni Gaudi for the Guell family at no. 3 Nou de la Rambla, which now houses the Museu del Theatre.
As we approach the statue of Columbus, one of the citys most emblematic monuments, we find on our right the old convent of Santa Monica recently converted to become a centre for temporary exhibitions with the aim of revitalizing the lower part of the Rambla. The Drassanes complex rise up behind it, the shipyards in which the vessels of the royal fleet were built in the 13th and 14th centuries, whose impressive series of workshops is a clear predecessor of the factory architecture of the 19th century. The itinerary continues along the Moll de la Fusta the remodelled old port which now constitutes the first strip of maritime façade to be recovered by the city. Here, walking across the boards of the Rambla de Mar pedestrian bridge, we come to the great MareMagnum shopping centre, the Aquarium designed by the Terradas brothers, and the Imax cinema by Enric Garces and Jordi Soria. Along here runs the coastal ring road built to link Olimpic Village with the sports installations of the Olimpic Ring on Montjuic. The visitor might also wish to see the Placa de Merce in front of the baroque church of the same name. The square was created in 1981 with the demolition of the block of houses which previously occupied the site, as part of the city councils policy of promoting the opening up of a large number of new urban spaces, which made it possible to create a whole series of parks and plazas during the course of the eighties.

On the other side of the harbour is the Barceloneta , a residential district constructed in the 18 centrury when the newly installed Bourbon monarchy, after destroying the Ribera area, found it necessary to rehouse the people that had been left homeless. Since the recent demolition of the dock side warehouses on the Passeig Nacional the view of the skyline of the historic city can be seen as never before. The building by Coderch at no. 48 of the same Passeig restored in the early 90es, is worth a visit. The Bourbons also constructed a military citadel, which was viewed from the start as a symbol of oppression from the centre; when this was dismantled as a result of a petition by the citizens it made way to the parkland which was later to accommodate the Universal Exposition of 1888. The park includes several buildings of importance, such as the Exposition Restaurant by Domenech I Montaner, and now home to the citys zoology museum, the Umbracle the Hivernacle and the Museu d’Art Modern.
