What do you do, and how long have you lived in Barcleona?<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

My name is Rob Dobson, I’m a digital marketing consultant from the UK and I’ve been back and forth between London and Barcelona for about 5 years now.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Tell us about your history with Barcelona.<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

My history with Barcelona is a short one. I was here 20 years ago while traveling around Europe by train. But we’d come down from Amsterdam and so consequently I don’t remember too much about it. It’s great to be back here now. It’s definitely my kind of city.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

What was your first impression of Barcelona?<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The architecture. It’s impressive. And they have done a fantastic job of integrating old and new. The Olympics changed the city. But they haven’t stood still. Areas are always improving.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

One thing you wouldn’t leave Barcelona without doing?<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Walking. If you haven’t walked around most of the city you’re missing out. It’s a real walking (or biking) city. There’s something around every corner.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Favorite food in Barcelona?<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Definitely pulpo (octopus). I’d never tried it before I came here. But now I can’t get enough of it. It can vary in quality. But when it’s good, it’s very, very good.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Favorite restaurant in Barcelona?<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Such an impossible question. But currently it would be Taverna Hofmann, or maybe Mano Rota, I love La Pepita too. See!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

What would be your ideal night out in Barcelona?<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

A summer’s evening, a beautiful back street pla\u00e7a, <\/em>a large table outside a good restaurant, with friends from around the world, talking, eating and drinking.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
