Is Brigton the Barcelona of the uk?

[Lord Bracknell]

You've obviously never been to the Bar Zamora, just off the Ramblas.

I've never forgiven Bobby for that, strolled in casual as you like only to realise all was not as it should've been

 

[Gwylan]

Nah, Brighton's great, Barcelona's the most shite city I've ever been to - no comparison.

 

[Lawro's Lip]

Que?

Barca is one of my fave places to be, i love the place.

I can see where you're coming from. West St is Las Ramblas, St Peters Church is our Sagrada Da Familia & obviously Withdean is the Nou Camp. The Queens Rd kebab shops remind me of all those delightful little Tapas Bars & our Marinas are identical. Then of course there's the views of the city. For Brighton you have the view from the racecourse & Barcelona has the vista from the Olympic site.

I love them both but I think Barcelona might just have the edge for tourists.

 

[HAMPSHIRE DAVE]

NO.
Everyone who supports the local football team in Brighton does not keep going on about some inter country war that took place over 50 years ago like they do in Barca!

its probably the MOST like barcelona out of any english city.....but it still does not come close to the excellence of BARCA

 

[turienzo's lovechild]

why?

 

[turienzo's lovechild]

ok- similarities i can find:

- by the sea

- biggest city in the area

- bit sleazey

- easy to get drugs

- easy to get prossies

- laid back locals

- full of foreigners

- bit gay

- has a marina

- go into the city centre and a pint will set you back a bit

- decent clubs if you know where to go

- street drinking is banned but everyone does it anyway

- low quality beaches (barcelonas one is horrible and sandy...the main one that is)

Just feel glad you haven't had to live the Franco years.

 

[Garry Nelson's Left Foot]

Surely the question should be:

Is Barcelona the Brighton of Spain?

 

[¤DãŃn¥ §êãGüLL¤]

Err.....no.

 

[rospants]

Hang on isn't Brigton somewhere else ?

BTW Brighton has no Zoo either.

its got moulescoomb, plenty of animals there

Also lots of good food, and personally I thought the beach in Barcelona was quite nice the last time I was there.

Try and erect some modern architecture, then you will find out the answer is an no.

McGhee Out, Gehry Up!

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

Whoops, I meant to write 'a no'

 

[Drumstick]

Well where building our own little stadium, how many stands we got now?
