Camp Nou Sunset
The first match I attended at Camp Nou, a derby against Espanyol, didn’t end as beautifully as it began. At the very end Espanyol scored a goal to tie and Real Madrid scored one to win in close succession and Barcelona lost out on the league title . Then we ended up in the emergency room so that my friend could get stitches after some kids attacked us on the street after the game. This was a really nice view though.
El Clásico
A much better time in the Camp Nou. Barça beat Madrid 5-0 and I bought every newspaper I could find the next morning to bring home the covers with me. Even in the pouring rain one of the most enjoyable days I can remember.
Camp Nou: A Soccer Pilgrimage
I’ve been to Barcelona, walked Las Ramblas, marveled at Gaudi’s masterpieces (from La Sagrada Familia to Parc Guell), but the thing that stands above them all is an authentic experience in Camp Nou. Nothing, not tapas nor siesta, is more Spanish than watching a La Liga game is this cathedral of football. http://wheninespana.wordpress.com/2012/03/08/barcelona-and-the-beautiful-game/
More Than A Club
I dare you to visit Camp Nou, take the tour and not become a soccer fan. Barca is more than a team, it is a way of life.
