I Just Moved to Mataro. Ive made some great new friends here,but I am also interested in talking to and meeting English speakers in the area. My Spanish friends arent as awestruck as I am by the beauty around me. It would be cool to meet people who want to explore this country as much as I do. I look forward to hearing from anyone.

Terrapin- are you a Maryland grad? I will be in Barcelona in the first week in June and would love to have someone to explore with. Maybe we can get together and take in some beauty!

The beer I drink in Barcelona I believe is called Estrella Damm. I am a beer drinker and it's pretty good. In Galicia: it's Estrella de Galicia. In Madrid, it's Mahou (de barril - draught) and in Sevilla, it's Cruz Campo; but all over Spain, you can't go wrong with San Miguel (Special Export)

A pub outing works for me! I loved cruz campo. 100 pesetas a glass and I thought it was better than san miguel.

Voll Damm. Gotta go with the Voll Damm, but watch out cause it has a tendency to ruin the next day (7% or something).
Let me know when you all come, I live 15km outside of Barcelona.

Its nice to hear from you all. I would love to meet anyone who is coming this way. My roomate is into partying every weekend, whereas I like to get out & around. Its hard to get out during the day if youre partying till eight in the morning. Im not a Maryland grad, just a little bit of a deadhead. Moving here was my first trip to Spain. Ive only been here about 5 weeks, so I havent gotten to do much(yet).I love it here so far,but I know Ive just touched the tip of the iceberg.Im looking forward to meeting new people to discover Spain with. My apartment is about ten minutes walk from the train station in Mataro, so any new friends could crash there, and we'd have easy access to transportation.Its only about a half hour ride to barcelona. I have a car also, but its cheaper and more convenient to take the train (Its also a lot safer when drunk). Keep in touch.
