I went to Barcelona last march and every restaurant, museum and other attractions were pricier the gently caress out more than any place I visited except for Paris and by that alone I reconsidered my views on how Francisco Franco treated them during the Spanish Civil WAr

If you can visit Barcelona and go and see the Sagrada Família, then please do. I visted it about 10 years ago, and it was beautiful even then.

Do not be intimidated by idiots as:

"Construction on Sagrada Família is not supported by any government or official church sources. Private patrons funded the initial stages.[44] Money from tickets purchased by tourists is now used to pay for the work, and private donations are accepted through the Friends of the Sagrada Família."



I am also not into football at all, but the Camp Nou was pretty impressive too.

15 loving euros for the basic ticket and the drat thing isn't even completely finished!!!

castro was not fond of tourism, limiting it heavily until the USSR collapsed and Cuba was in need for hard cash. he associated it with the prerevolutionary period where tourism was run by the american mob and Cuba was seen as an especially hedonistic destination for americans and sex tourism was rampant. the more long term opposition to it was more of a nationalistic thing than socialist imo

That's everywhere in the Third World, if you go to any beach here in Northeast Brazil you'll find a great number of schlubby europeans or americans alongside a prostitute that is very likely to be underage
