Type the special Barcelona Home promo code BCNHOME18 to get your first free drink to try the app and see how much fun you can have with it. Afterward, the monthly cost of the subscription is just 29,99€ (yes, the same price you will spend for 3 cocktails in a night but with the possibility to have 8 cocktails every day!).

#2 Wallapop
Want to buy some second-hand clothes, vehicles, or devices, but without leaving your cozy bed? Wallapop – a virtual flea market is a solution for you.

To sell or find the product you need, you just have to sign in with your Facebook account. The app will automatically display all the items within 2 km around you. You can filter them by category, distance, and price, or simply scroll down until you will find something you like!

In this way, you know how other people like the restaurants, and maybe get recommended which dishes are the best. In the App, you can select a lot of different things, as which meal, the price, the category, etc. You can also save a restaurant if it’s good so it’s possible to find it again, or if you walk by an interesting restaurant you can save it so you can try it another day.
