'When you visit Barcelona, do you know which side of the tracks is the wrong side? Or where you'd go to find a Catalan hangout? An English newspaper? A fancy hotel library to read it in?

That's why you need a copy of "le cool Changed My Life — A Weird and Wonderful Guide to Barcelona" le cool has become the travel guide for the been-there-done-that set. Any old guide can list hotels and landmarks and decent restaurants. le cool will not only send you to the most authentic tapas bar, but it will also tell you which bar stool to occupy.' - The New York Times

Reviews
‘This chunky little volume … reads more like your hippest good friend… Inside is a selection of locals’ favourite parts of the city, with directions and roughly sketched backstreet maps to the coolest cafés. What you won’t find is how to get from the airport to La Rambla or the cost of admission to the Sagrada Familia. Instead you will find an intriguing mix of some of the best Barcelona has to offer a youthful audience, away from the tourist hordes.’
Aoife O'Riordain, "The ten best guidebooks in the world", The Independent on Sunday, January 2006
‘It has a plain red cover so you won't stand out as a guidebook-using tourist while sipping mojitos in cool bars, and contains information on where to find drugs, sex and designer sunglasses, with no mention of Gaudi.’
Gemma Bowes, The Observer, September 2004
‘An essential guide to the underground and alternative Barcelona.’ Vogue (Portugal), October 2004
