If you’ve already felt identified with what you’ve read so far in this article, you should continue reading, because this information might interest you. Moreover, if you are on holiday in Barcelona and don’t want to go to the typical touristy bar where music of Paulina Rubio or Ricky Martin is played, don’t worry, here are the top 5 indie hip bars in Barcelona. Betty Ford Right in the Raval district, you’ll find this corner for good drinkers, a place full of character, where you’ll hear good music and meet many locals with clothes from H & M (or even from those independent stores that have unique pieces designed by a young fashion designer, in a small but very cool store in Gracia or Born). There you’ll also enjoy delicious cocktails. Calle Joaquín Costa, 56 Barcelona Area: Raval El Vinilo A charming bar with a great atmosphere that seems to transgress the threshold of the 30´s. This isn’t a bar of crazy parties, it is a place to have a deep conversation or just listen to that music that makes you think “What is the name of his song that I´ve always wanted to hear?” At Vinilo, you’ll hear music of Jeff Burkley, Jack Johnson, Little Joy and thousands more (because if anyone understands music in this neighborhood are the owners of this bar); very intimate and caress music for your ears, which will bring you from a drink to another, while getting... read more

Discover the Bosphorus through a boat tour

The Only Team Istanbulite, Only-Be, Practical Guide to Istanbul

Istanbul is a city that seduces very much; this is partly due to the enticing blue color of the Bosphorus, which is the strait that separates Europe from Asia, the same that has served to unite two cultural worlds. It is for this reason that travelers can’t miss the opportunity to go on a historic tour and enjoy second to none views of Turkey. The Bosporus connects the Black Sea with the Sea of Marmara, making Istanbul a city located on two continents; one part is in Asia and the other in Europe. This strait measures about 30 km, the narrowest part is 700 meters and at the junction with the Black Sea it reaches 4 km wide. For you not to spend more than you should and discover the enchanting secrets of the Bosphorus, we’ll give you some useful information so you can get the most out of your holidays. The first thing to know is that there are many different tours, some of them last about 1.5 hours, some of them last more than two hours, and some others last six hours. Also there are some companies that offer a guided tour to learn particular history details of the area. All tours are very nice, but you should try to find out very well the price details, because some companies charge their fees in Euros, regardless of the exchange rate with the local currency, the Turkish Lira. Tours usually start at 10:30, you should get there at least 15 minutes early to buy tickets. During the warm months, it is better to wear light clothing and bring... read more
