How To Use Barcelona Metro & Getting Around the City

How do you get around in Barcelona? Well, other than using your legs, the name of the game in Barcelona is the Metro. We like the buses too but more on that later.
We definitely recommend the Metro. It’s cheap, it’s safe; you’ll get to see loads of the city and if you’re familiar with using the London Underground, the Metro will feel pretty similar. So here goes…
A single ticket costs €2.15 and this is good for one, single journey. But, if you plan on travelling a lot over the course of your holiday, consider buying a T-10 ticket. It’s really useful because it allows you ten journeys and each journey can take up to an hour and fifteen minutes and I think it allows you on the bus as well as the Metro. And you can use it between two people so I can go through the barriers and then pass it back to Siân-Amy and she can go through too.
What’s also great about the T-10 ticket it that you don’t have to use all of your ten journeys in one day, because that would be pretty tough to do. In fact, no matter when you buy your ticket, it will still be valid until the end of January the following year.
If for some reason you don’t like the idea of those, you can buy tickets that are for two-day travel, three-day travel, that sort of thing. But we have spoken with locals out there, we’ve done it for ourselves and, sorry, but the T-10 just wins hands down. And we realise that’s a lot of information to take in, but what it comes down to is…
The T-10 will be great for you if you’re going to be in Barcelona for a few days and if you plan on going around the city and seeing a tonne of sights. T-10 is the way forward. T-10 FTW. T-10!
That’s the Metro in Barcelona. It’s open until midnight Sunday to Thursday and then 2am on Fridays and Saturdays.
Next up, seeing the city from buses. Sightseeing tours work on a hop-on, hop-off basis. There are two main bus tour companies in Barcelona. You’ve got Barcelona Bus Touristic and Barcelona City Tour. Barcelona Bus Touristic claim to be the official Barcelona bus tour company and they have three major routes: red, green and blue.
The red route includes some of the Gaudì attractions, Port Olympic - where as the blue route takes you to some of the most popular tourist attractions like Sagrada Família; you’ll go up to Park Güell and FC Camp Nou. The green route is a seasonal route. It runs from April to November and includes the coastal views.
You can buy your tickets on the bus, although I think you’re less likely to get them if it’s going to be really busy. You can buy them in the tourist office or you can even buy them online before you go, if you want to be super organised, and then when you get on the bus they’ll swap them for real tickets.
You can do a walking tour of the city if you want to use your feet. Some of them you do have to pay for and some of them are free. They include tours of the Gaudí attractions; a tour of the old city; a tour of Barcelona at night time. Yeah, it’s really cool. Obviously, if you don’t want to pay though, you can just wander around yourself and find your own way around.
We’re going to recommend using your feet to keep it cheap or going on the Metro. Obviously both these things are affordable and easy and just great ways to see the city. Yep and now you know how to get around the city, have a look at our video on the top things to do while you’re here.
Thanks for watching. Bye! Bye!

EXCHANGING & WITHDRAWING CASH WHEN TRAVELLING | BASICS OF BACKPACKING #5
Let's talk money in today's episode! In particular exchanging currencies and withdrawing cash abroad without the massive fees!
It is a good idea to exchange a small amount of cash before you leave so you have some funds for taxi’s or a cheeky coffee at the airport. But don’t take too much cash, only enough to cover your first couple of days. Don’t carry anymore than you are willing to lose!
Using ATM machines abroad can vary. Some countries will have next to zero ATM machines which will accept foreign cards, like Japan, which is why it’s good to have cash on you till you find somewhere to withdraw.
Taking a travel card is a good idea which is where you pre-load money onto the card and spend it in different locations across the world. Some Travel Cards may freeze the exchange rate or have it flexible so you get the best exchange rate when you spend!
Using your home bank card is a popular option but can incur some hefty fee’s. Here are some tips: If you need to withdraw cash then don’t take out $50 at a time. Cover yourself for a few days and try not to use EFTPOS machines!

The Costa del Sol is one of Britain's fave Spanish holiday destinations. Including stunning beach resorts such as Marbella and Benalmadena, and all-inclusive resorts like Holiday Village, it's no wonder it entertains over 10 million tourists a year.
There are four main towns along the coastline: Marbella, Benalmadena, Torremolinos and Nerja. Then there's Malaga city, of course. In this video we take you through our top 22 things to do across all these locations and give you some handy tips to know along the way :)
We'll be adding a Costa del Sol playlist to the channel pretty soon but, in the meantime, why not check out our playlists on the Canaries and the Balaeric Islands for some more Spainspiration... ;)

Welcome to the Costa del Sol. 22 Things To Do in Malaga and the Costa del Sol.
Almost all beaches along the Golden Mile are Blue Flag, with lots of fun activities, shallow waves and plenty of sand. They’re family-friendly, and have disabled access and there’s almost always food of one sort or another close by.
The Marina at Puerto Banus isn’t far from the beach. It may not be the biggest of places of places along the Costa del Sol but it’s certainly a shop-aholic’s haven.
While Benalmadena Marina is a bit more ‘every man’. The vibe here is more family-focused and relaxed and the beach here is huge! If you’re staying around Marbs, you should definitely check out the Ocean Club. TOWIE fans, this is a must!
This is the Mariposario Butterfly Park. 150 species of butterfly flutter and float in the air. They’ve even adopted a pair of iguanas, a tortoise and a wallaby!
Balcon de Europa is just as relaxing as rewarding. The funny thing is, everyone thinks the King actually founded the place… He didn’t, it was a well-known local secret; he just came up with the name.
Frigiliana is a labyrinth of cobbled, winding streets. And what makes it more traditional are these gorgeous white-washed buildings. One of the best things about this place is the views.
You’ll find Orange Square in Marbella Old Town, a medieval courtyard of lively and colourful restaurants, cafes and shops.
A day trip to Malaga should definitely be on the cards. Pablo Picasso was born right here in Malaga in 1881 and became a highly influential artist in painting, sculpture and even print-making, to develop Cubist and Surrealist movements, among others. And this museum is devoted to his works.
Malaga Cathedral dates back to the 1500s. The original design for the cathedral had it with two towers, although now it only has the one. In fact, that second tower was never built because they ran out of money during the building process, thus there’s only one. The locals around here affectionately refer to this building as ‘The Lady with One Arm’ or, La Manquita.
Alcazaba Fort is said to be the city’s most important landmark because of its strategic hilltop position, overlooking the ocean, to watch out for any invaders.
The Nerja Caves are a subterranean labyrinth of stalactites and stalagmites that date back millions of years. Above ground, a beautiful way to see the countryside and meet with the locals is on a John Keo guided walking tour. Bring your lunch, your camera and an ear for local stories. This really is a memorable way to spend a day of your holiday and learn about the natural landscape you’re holidaying in.
The cable car in Benalmadena gives you some of the most beautiful views in the Costa del Sol, at nearly 800m above sea-level.
