Aussie's to lead the party

Of course, my first night out in Barcelona was with a couple of Aussie's...I was warned that they always lead the party ;)
I went into some cool little bars with Liz and James, just to have a couple of drinks and chill out. The first bar seemed to be a diner that turned into a local hangout at night. The second bar was a hotspot that we happened on while walking home through the streets of the Barri Grotic. It looked like it hadn't had a facelift in a while...with old wood panelling, crackled faded mirrors, and shelves of ancient liquor bottles...but the crowd was definitely young and hip.
On the way home, we passed by a few prostitutes (some even walking with their johns.) Barcelona has a problem with prostitution but I got the feeling that they wouldn't bother us unless we bothered them.
