I really love markets, whenever i visit cities i try to visit at least few markets, it doesn’t matter if I end up buying stuff or not (and usually i do) but it is a lot of fun to walk and see all kind of stuff laying on the stands.
In London I really enjoyed Portobello Market, even if it is not the most famous, and it is pretty small, it was great fun, it is actually a street market located at Notting Hill.

I was visiting Barcelona for a week during September 2010 and I actually had a dilemma about this tip, since usually I write about good experiences and stuff i really liked but in this case its the opposite.
Port Olimpic is the area with some restaurants, bars and night clubs in Barcelona, right on the port so of course it has a great potential, great view and nice atmosphere there, but, i tried 2 different restaurants there and other than the fact they look really fancy and great and they are much more expensive than other places, the food was not that great (to say the least) – both times i was very disappointed – so maybe i chose the wrong places but striking out 2 out of 2 looks like a pattern to me…if you go there – make sure to know which place to go by recommendations (from someone you trust) before you go there.
