Check out the "living statues" down Las Rambles Gaj.

THERE IS A DODGY/GOOD/FUNNY STRIP CLUB/PEEP SHOW PLACE ON LES RAMBLES......SO I'M TOLD!

YOU HAVE TO CHECK OUT THE SAGRADA FAMILIA (PROB NOT HOW ITS SPELT BUT YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN)

All the usual touristy stuff is great - the big cathedral thingy, Parc Guel is also worth a look as is the Miro Foundation up near the Olympic complex. There are some great Cava (£2 per bottle!) bars down on the edge of the old quarter near the docks/marinas, just across from the wee glass seafood restaurant. Halfway down the Ramblas on the left there's a plaza which certainly used to have a few really good clubs in the basements - indie/punk but dinnae open until about 1am! Don't go anywhere near the flower sellers on the Ramblas and keep an eye on yer wallet...god is that pickpocket in for a dissapointment ;) Have a great time...it's one of the most amazing cities I've ever been to!

I was just installing broadband for someone who came back from a short break In Barcelona last week and she said it rained all the time, however she tells me that the weather out there is glorious now (just like here).

Have a great time GAJ.

The 10 day forecast doesn't look great! Cheryl's face is tripping her!

The Nou Camp is very impressive, and the museum is quite interesting.
Was there in 1999, just wish i had been there in 87 ;)

Have a good wee break Gaj. Do they do Guinness in Barca? ;)

[GAJ]

I'm back! Thanks for the advice everybody.

Willie, they do indeed do Guinness and very nice it was too! Saw quite a few MINIs over there, mainly black and white (a good choice I think) but I also saw an electric blue Cooper! Is it only in the UK that electric blue is only available on the S?
