    Played there last year for the FTP Spanish event (1500 euros).. I didn't play any cash games while there since my fiance was with me on the trip, we weren't in the casino except for the tourney I was entered into.. I am not sure if there was special dress, but its not your typical vegas casino, so would dress a little nicer.. Sorry I am not being helpful, but I normally wear a hoodie in a vegas casino and in this one wore a nice shirt..

    The casino itself is at the end of the pier, and a 10 minute cab ride (or a slightly longer bus ride) into the center of town.. When I was there, there was a cool air show on the beach going on during the weekend, and heard they have events on the beach often enough..

    Enjoy your time there!

    I wore jeans and a button down shirt and felt comfortable doing so (although did miss my hoodie somewhat, but seemed appropriate for the atmosphere to me).. You do not need to wear a tie for sure.. According to something I just searched, they are smart casual.. No shorts or sandals or ripped jeans..

    Hi,
    Usually in Spain, casino dress code is quite tight.

    -- Copied from his site

    Casino Barcelona has a dress code in accordance with its excellent image. The jacket is not compulsory but you may feel more comfortable wearing it, specially at night.
    IT IS NOT PERMITTED TO ENTER THE CASINO WITH:
    • Coats
    • Bags
    • Back pack
    • Cameras and/or electronic devices
    • Shorts, Bermudas, Pantalon “pirate”
    • Camisole and tank top
    • Ripped pants
    • Jagger suits and shoes
    • Beach wear (sandshoes, pareo, bathing suit)
    Coats, bags and electronic devices must be left in the Cloakroom

    ---------------------

    Hope this help

    Was there alot last year.
    Spain is very relaxed, just donīt wear shorts and you should be fine.
    Regarding tourneys , cash games. there is a weekly tourney for like 100 euros or something with people playing who dont know a flush beats a straight.
    Cash games are very soft as well, they ll have from 1-2nl to 10-20plo, but they fill up quick and if u dont put ur name on the list super rapido u could be sitting down waiting like a lemon for a long time.
    Great club by the casino called opium, hit that about 4am with ur $2k profit and party hard!

    quick word of advice, BRING YOUR PASSPORT.
    I went there last May when I was there, I forgot my passport at the hotel, but had my drivers license, it didnt matter I had to take a 20 minute cab all the way back to get it. be prepared w/ ur passport!

    they run 5/10 plo frequently offpeak, 10/20e plo during peak. std euro casino dresscode (jeans + shoes). favorite city in the world, barcelona's the best. and unlike madrid, they deal clockwise
