Hi everyone,
Haven't been posting much on here recently due to some difficult times. I unfortunately lost my mother in January (I'm only 20 so its a bit more difficult) and things have been rough dealing with the loss and finishing my college semesters.
To celebrate my mothers life, my father and I are heading to Europe on Good Friday (April 18th). We are flying to Barcelona first, and staying there from the Saturday, to the Wednesday.
We don't have huge amounts of time, and I realize it's Easter weekend but we will make the most out of it. The reason we can't make the entire trip longer is because I need to be back in college in May.
So for Barcelona, I need anything you can give me. Restaurants, sites and shopping. We found a cool spot called Bubo Bar but other than that we need some help. My father is a chef, but we'd love to experience true Spanish tapas and culture. We will most likely go to the main tourist attractions and anything else you can suggest (something different). We will also do the Camp Nou stadium tour (huge football fans). Are there any good stores, shopping area's you can recommend? Mid range in price? Because the Euro is high right now (1 CAD = 1.50 Euro), value is key. I'm very excited for Barcelona and also smoking some nice cigars. Found a good cigar dealer called Gimeno. We are staying at the Soho Barcelona.
We are then flying over to Milan for a couple days. Again, any food/bar/shopping suggestions. Would love to pick up some unique and high quality Italian shirts/casual wear/shoes. I do realize a lot of the manufactures are in Naples but still. Help a brother out. If you can recommend any good barbers as well..We are staying at the Best Western Felice Casati.
Lastly, we are flying to Dusseldorf and visiting family (my entire family is German). We will also go to Berlin for 2 days and check out Kadewe and any other recommendations you may have. Also heard, there are a number of decent outlets.
Thank you very much for any help you can provide.
