Watching World Cup in Barcelona

[tasha4860]

We will be in Barcelona on Friday - Spain plays in the World Cup that evening. Any good recommendations for a local "sports bar" to watch the game? We're staying at Le Meridien Hotel...

Across La Rambla from the LE, you'll find a couple of restaurants/bars that have TVs. There were something like 4 or 5 tapas places in a row. When I was there in May, there were tons of folks watching the Champions League games. If nothing else, ask the concierge at the LE for a good place.

Do ask the concierge where a fun place to watch might be.

 

They usually set up huge HD screens in parks, around stadiums, on the beach, etc. There might very well be someplace exciting to watch the match that isn't your typical restaurant with a tv screen.

 

Kind regards,
