Fancy dress in Barcelona?

Question

Been roped into dressing up on my friends hen weekend in Barcelona... We're supposed to dress as s**y Policewomen one night, and Cowgirls another night. Having been to Barcelona before, I know that it's a pretty cosmopolitan place -I think we're going to look bloody stupid personally... But we've not been given any choice on the matter and the girl organising is generally being a bit of a Hitler about the whole thing... Fun!

Do you think fancy dress is suitable in a place like Barcelona? Will we get in bars, restaurants, etc? Tell me if you think I'm being a boring old fuddy duddy!? Lol...

Answer 1

Hi Blossom, I am in Barcelona the weekend of 25-26-27 April for the Grand Prix. I was there last year and there were loads of F1 fans partying all weekend dressed up in all sorts, myself included. On the Saturday {all day} myself and a bunch of pals got dressed up as the cast of the Rocky Horror Picture Show, {no link fo F1 I know,but what the heck}. I was dressed as Frankenfurter {I am 40 next week and hetro-male} and in case you have not seen the movie, the character is a transvestite. We partied all day and night and did not get refused entry to any pubs,2 restaraunts and 2 night clubs. So if a bunch of London blokes can get away with it,I really do not think a bunch of ladies shall have any difficulties at all! And with regards to Barca folk being cosmopolitan, s***w THEM and have a really good Knees Up. What's the worst that can happen? They'll send you home! Have a great weekend and I shall keep my eyes open when I am there for a group of drunken cowgirls!

We were in Barcelona last summer, and I distinctly remember running into a group of young women (Brits, in fact) having a bridal shower...they were all dressed as princesses!  Oh, loosen up!  You'll never see those people again!  Just have fun!.

We also met a bunch of guys having a bachelor party in the Giralda in Seville.  They were local.  They were all dressed in cheap bullfighter costumes, and the groom was the matador.  They do it too.  Enjoy!
