San Francisco and Barcelona are now sister cities in more ways than one. Just like San francisco, Barcelona also has a major crackhead alley just off the main drag
Barcelona where do we start, ok the beginning we rock into town and spend some time trudging around looking for our hostel which after some time we manage to find and its a very nice place and has air con. Its a nice place the street its on not so nice it is about 300m off a side street off the main drag La Rambla which s packed with tourists. On any given day in these 300m u have to contend with between 3 and 300 crackheads, usually about 50 prostitutes and well pickpockets not to sure how many because of there chosen profession they tend to be discreet but as u will find out later in this story not discreet enough.
a true sister city indeed. La Rambla even looks like Market street from twin peaks

We stayed for 4 nights with a group of girls in 3 rooms. Safety in case of urgentie is non existend. Construction works were done while the rooms were taken. Sleeping with 10 students in 1 small room is dangerous. Noice from other rooms made the students have bad nights. Breakfast was of the cheapest I ever had. Personal was rather difficult to understand. Everyone can enter and leave the building. At night the neighborhood is a living brothel with junk- and ugly (very young prostitutes. In the streets around you see dealing and pimps. In day time police is everywhere, at night you almost see none of them. This is no night worth sleeping, one should get payed to stay.
pretty spooky parallel universe in a Twilight Zone kind of way
