As we got in early, before 8AM, our rooms weren't ready so we went out for some coffee and pastry, but I ended up having a jamon serrano sandwich, which is always the first thing everyone should eat on arrival in Spain! When we finally did check in we got a room with a view of the Plaza Espanya, which Mutsumi requested as she read on a Japanese blog was the way to go, and they weren't kidding...
Our hotel is right next to the old bullfighting arena, which is now being renovated into a shopping mall that will also house the world's largest collection of rock n' roll memoribilia.
See the clock on the hotel? Our room is all the way to the right of it.
And last time we were here, we discovered this great little Spanish brasserie that served simple yet amazing food, and since it wasn't too far of a walk, we headed over for our first official beers in Barcelona! Cheers!!

¡Bienvenido!
I'll be at the convention during the weekend, in and around the Panini Comics lot.
I'd like to say hello and introduce myself, I'm a journalist and editor of a couple of sites devoted to Marvel, Universo Marvel and Marvelmania.
Something looks different...
Man...you could at least TRY to make your job look hard once in a while. You know, just to make the rest of us feel better! ; )
