El Clasico, arguably the biggest football match on earth is fast approaching. This fierce rivalry is about more than just sport, it goes to the deep routes of those who feel Catalan against the Imperialists from Madrid. Every win is more than just a victory for your football team, it is a victory for your pride, homeland and national status. But where is the best place in Barcelona to watch the battle of these two absolute giants of the beautiful game?
Flaherty’s
Arguably the biggest and best Irish pub in the entire city. If you want a home from home whilst in Barcelona, this is the place for you. It is the place to make a whole day of the experience, with buckets of beer and great food both on offer. Wear your colours, bring your teams flag, and get ready to watch the game in the amazing atmosphere of this wonderful pub.
Travel Bar
Those after a much more intimate experience are recommended to head over to Travel Bar. As the name suggests, this is a wonderful place for the traveler who is more of a neutral than avidly behind either team. Before the game, why not try one of their famous free walking tours of the amazing city of Barcelona? Then take a seat, have a burger and a beer and watch the game with friends from all over the globe.
L’Ovella Negra
Here is one for those who want to do far more than just watch the game! In L’Ovella Negra there are games to play, Oktoberfest-esque jugs of beer to consume, and a huge crowd there all to enjoy the match. The atmosphere on match day is incredible, and why not stay afterwards for a game of fusbal, pool or table tennis? This is a bar you can spend all day at, watching the game, playing bar games and talking to the locals.
Jai-Ca
Now for a slightly different experience. If you really want to feel the rivalry of El Clasico, head on down to Barceloneta and watch the match surrounded by avid locals in this Tapas Bar. Grab some patatas bravas, sangria and have a truly Spanish experience celebrating in the religion of football! Down in this less touristy end of town, be warned that to be anything but Barca will get you some very bad looks indeed. Vista el Barca!
Camp Nou
Of course, the best possible place to watch the match is the stadium itself! You cannot beat the atmosphere of El Classico at the Camp Nou.
