The Underground

The metro is the quickest way to get from A to B in Barcelona. It is fairly cheap compared with London, for around 8 euro you can purchase a T10 ticket which gives you 10 complete journeys each up to 1 hour and 30 mins distance. You can also use this ticket on the buses, trams and short distance RENFE trains.

For a full information guide on transport in the city see:

Luis Frangella Exhibit

Last chance to see the art of Frangella at Fundació Suñol - Ends 28th January 2012 The Argentinian artist Luis Frangella created works with an experimental vocation, which moved between abstraction and a nod at figurative art. He worked mainly as a painter and sculptor, and collaborated with artists like John Cage and Maryanne Amacher. Despite all that, his work has hardly ever been on display. Through the exhibition Luis Frangella. La jarra vertiente o máquina de dibujar, the Suñol Foundation is giving the public access to this groundbreaking artist's work. It will feature more than thirty works by Frangella, one of the most authentic contemporary artists.
