Je suis ouvert aux tuyaux et bon plans pour Barcelone en cette saison. Restos/sorties surtout, vers Montjuic; je doute avoir le luxe de pouvoir choisir l’hôtel.

C’est pour la série des expositions-et-conférences-auxquelles-j’irai. Et après je rentre à Montréal pour 10 jours c’est promis.

MàJ: plein de bon plans ci-après:

Cette liste est une gracieuseté de Sonia de la Fira, repostée ici parce que je sais que je ne la retrouverai jamais sinon. je n’ai évidemment pas tout essayé, mais si mes expériences sont représentatives de la qualité de la liste, ce sont là des recommandations de confiance.
