24 hour Metro Madness

The powers that be in BCN have decided to open the metro all night long on Saturdays, making it easier to go home at a 'sensible' hour when bars shut (i.e. 3 a.m.), instead of wandering the streets providing business to illegal beer sellers (my personal heroes), queueing for the nitbus, or ill-advisedly paying too much to spontaneously go to a club and drink that unnecessary "free" drink (you always pay the next morning...)

This is all good news, although it's just a trial, so use it or lose it. The timing is a little strange though, seeing as the Generalitat keeps shutting down so many late night bars and clubs these days. Maybe soon the only thing to do after 3 a.m. will be to ride the metro up and down until the break of dawn.
