The other thing about Primavera is that you stand/dance on concrete all night for three days straight, so sensible shoes are essential. A lot of people end up having to buy more shoes 2 days in, but Birkenstocks and Vans serve me well. I think I only ever wear these shoes at Primavera! I might get some Nike Air Jordans for next year. Mmm. Air cushion.
Inspired by Anna from Door Sixteen, My other pro-tips for Primavera are:
- Book your pass early - 2014 goes on sale on Monday!
- Stay in the Raval area. It is cheaper and trendier than Barrio Gothic
- Spanish phrases - "Quisiera comer" and "Perrrito caliente por favor" come in particularly handy for me.
- Avoid the tourist tapas places on La Rambla and got to the cheap ones in Barceloneta
- Cr. de Joaquin Costa is full of great bars
- Spend to save! Go for free-pour spirits not beer
- Check the pre and after parties and park gigs
- Check out a show in the auditorium
- Don't buy beer from the random cervesa guys in the street in Barcelona. THEY WILL ROB YOU.
