However, it is true that going to the dentist could be pretty "painful" for both you and your wallet so you want to be sure there is no misunderstandings.<br /><br />I did some research and in 2007, most recent official figures I could find, there were more than 5,000 people holding a British passport registered in Barcelona, so based on the fact that only a percentage of people living in other countries register to the local authorities, the amount of UK citizens living in Barcelona has to be at least four or five times this amount.<br /><br />We also have to add people from the US, Canada or Australia so I guess this dentist must be very busy as well.DJAhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10806007357346320154noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37125649.post-13448337870995038292008-12-03T09:02:00.000-08:002008-12-03T09:02:00.844-08:00Parc de la Ciutadella<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjX9OionXfClbmiAqs3Wvh7iJyocMansVVmDqqEp3eLRuoHTzZN_BsjeKBK2ypLZ2X-FV9v4NfleIQ3TOexufrr-5EHQ8GU9fAFRxar0FDuD3oBcvOcJlwukaShpyr9Fzy-AEsT/s1600-h/ParkCiutadella.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 296px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjX9OionXfClbmiAqs3Wvh7iJyocMansVVmDqqEp3eLRuoHTzZN_BsjeKBK2ypLZ2X-FV9v4NfleIQ3TOexufrr-5EHQ8GU9fAFRxar0FDuD3oBcvOcJlwukaShpyr9Fzy-AEsT/s400/ParkCiutadella.JPG" border="0" alt="Parc Ciutadella Barcelona" title="Park Ciutadella Barcelona" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5261122910162920882" /></a><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;">Parc Ciutadella</span><br /></div>DJAhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10806007357346320154noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37125649.post-83677148084286122882008-11-25T11:51:00.000-08:002008-11-25T11:51:06.473-08:00Arc del Triomf<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigaiPi11NESn7oVzE3fVZ-KsokM_NO4VLRvzmbhrRq6Xgk4zJdRtuq_rfmvs8F6c7F1cYLbx5pUMu2d_FFRw3fOp8xNqdOlKNsvGdgzu4YtV4-7MD59EXsB5DKkbr5WDwyZjHs/s1600-h/Arc_del_Triomf.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 295px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigaiPi11NESn7oVzE3fVZ-KsokM_NO4VLRvzmbhrRq6Xgk4zJdRtuq_rfmvs8F6c7F1cYLbx5pUMu2d_FFRw3fOp8xNqdOlKNsvGdgzu4YtV4-7MD59EXsB5DKkbr5WDwyZjHs/s400/Arc_del_Triomf.JPG" border="0" alt="Arc del Triomf Barcelona" title="Arc del Triomf Barcelona" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5261119895588415650" /></a>The <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;">Arc del Triomf</span>, designed by the architect Josep Vilaseca i Casanovas, was built for the 1888 Universal Exhibition.
