Barcelona Art & Culture for Android

Barcelona Art and Culture really ripped the boundaries from Barcelona. The map feature has a variety of categories which made finding the museums and all the attractions a simple task, identifying each flag with a name and a picture. The app is easy to operate, even for a novice, and we had no trouble using it to access any information we needed. Useful hints, such as suggesting we get our Sagrada Familia tickets online ahead of time, had us skipping a line that curved around for over a block. Since English explanations around the city were rare, the app's background and detailed stories enriched our experience. I would not have known about the secret past of Christopher Columbus or the elevator in his monument or the impact of the anarchists The vivid photographs were an added bonus. I hope Facaros and Pauls create apps for all the places we want to visit.

If you're going to Barcelona, buy this app!! Mike Pauls and Dana Facaros are the best travel writers out there- not only hugely knowledgeable, smart and witty, but fun just to read while killing time in the airport, in your hotel room or on the metro etc– their Cadogan guides are great (I have over a dozen of them) and this app is like their books...only more fun because there are thousands of great pix! Food entries spot on, too, and loved the bit on Catalan music. Just got the new update. Fantastic! The best app gets better. Just back form a short trip to my favorite city. This ap remains indispensable. October 2012.

Barcelona Unbound really ripped the boundaries from Barcelona. The map feature has a variety of categories which made finding museums, restaurants, or any of the attractions a simple task. The app is easy to operate, even for a novice, and we had no trouble using it to access any information we needed. There were very useful hints such as getting our Sagrada Familia tickets online. We walked past a line that curved around for over a block. We took their suggestion to try Les Quinze Nits and went back again for very reasonably priced and tasty meals. Since we didn't find many explanations in English around the city, the background and detailed stories enriched our experience at every site. I never would have known about the secret past of Christopher Columbus or the elevator in his monument or the impact of the anarchists. The vivid photographs were just an added bonus. I hope that Facaros and Pauls write apps for the places we want to visit next year.

I appreciate the way these authors maintain this info. They've never let me down. Thx.

I never thought an app could replace a good book, but this one proves me wrong. The incredibly detailed city map, zoomable down to intersection level is loaded with reference icons. The articles range from overviews to individual attractions to walks, all written in an entertaining, witty and obviously deeply knowledgeable style. This one can be the replacement for all that paper!
