The Beach, a View, and a Champagne Cocktail

The beach in Barcelona is full of tourists and pickpockets.  If you want to go to the beach, go to another city.  If you want to spend a ton of money on mediocre restaurants that appear really cool or have your bag stolen, go to the beach in Barcelona.  It sounds like every other beach in the world, except t it is not that nice.  The W Hotel is an attraction unto itself in Barcelona.  It is on the beach in Barcelona, in an area called Barceloneta.  There is a bar on the 26th floor that overlooks most of the city.  I went there to watch the sunset. 
Barceloneta.
La playa.
It is windy on the beach, just like home.
View from the 26th floor.
Sun setting behind Barcelona.
Beach at sunset.
Lovely view.
Lovely Veuve-Cliquot cocktail.

The view was amazing, but on the whole the W felt like Las Vegas and I want to be in Barcelona.  Next time I'll stay at Le Meridian.  Hahaha, yeah right.
