Headed to Spain for biz travel

didn't realize Palermo is the heart of Sicily...I haven't been to that part of Italy yet. That's a contender.... it sounds like the mafia is pretty deep there tho.

don't listen to people who've never left their state telling your how racist Spain is
Barcelona is pretty cool, there were a decent amount of blacks there too

I already know for myself. Music festivals are a big part of Barcelona's identity. When I was there, a huge citywide festival was taking place called Montjuic De Nit. First I walked up on a black area of the city where they had live samba bands and hood liquor cocktails (a la Nutcrackers in Harlem). The area looked poor and rundown but the people showed loved, were friendly, and everyone had a good time w/o drama.

Afterwards I went to the music festival's main event which was a EDM rave inside an ancient castle. Those Catalonians know how to party.

Best of all....it was all free.
