Can Paixano {La Xampanyeria}

 Can Paixano{La Xampanyeria} is a small bar in barceloneta that everyone recommends. It's popular with tourists and locals. 
You get cups of cava for 1 euro! 
After your first cup you have to order something to eat. They have tapas and sandwiches were are really very good{and not the slight bit healthy}.
There are no chairs or tables, you just stand, eat and drink and throw your trash on the floor. 
Go early because after 7 there are so many people you feel like a sardine. 


And since I really really need to learn Spanish in the next 10 days... 

Can Paixano {La Xampanyeria} es un bar pequeño en barceloneta con cava para 1euro. Es muy popular con lugareños y turtistas. No hay mesas o sillas. Solamente necesitas estar de pie  y beber. Después de un copa de cava, necesitas comer algo. Hay tapas y bocadillos. Es normal tirar su basura en el piso (es muy difícil para la maestra en mi). Llega temprano porque después de 7 hay un montón de gente y sientes como una anchoa.

I'd rather not discuss how long it took me to write that.
correct away!

Looks like a fun bar! One thing I wouldn't feel comfortable with is to throw my trash on the floor.

Your translation in Spanish was very good. However, this is how I would write it:

Looks so sun and...well, Spanish! :) I think your paragraph en Español was good! I actually minored in Spanish in college but it has been so long since I had to use it that my vocabulary is all gone. I am pretty good at verbs still, though! haha

I nearly just come off my chair at your photos. I love this place - and every time I go to Barcelona I end up there... Even when it is packed with so many people.

Hope you are enjoying Barcelona.
