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

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?
