Good choice. Love the place.
any recommendations Chris?
It was a few years back now but I seem to remember really enjoying the Parc Güell (which was designed by Antoni Gaudí). We also walked all the way up Montjuic (before we found the small railway that almost runs to the top. Doh!!!) and that was very nice.
La Rambla and all the markets were pretty good but a friend of mine went there this year and said that it was full "living statues" which she found very irritating.
Obviously La Sagrada Família is just outstanding. We also went to another building designed by Gaudi but sadly I can't remember the name.
Strangely one of the most surprising places we went to was the fish market, early in the morning. An incredibly selection of fish, very colourful and beautifully presented. Smells a bit though.
Mostly though we just sat in the sun, drinking and relaxing.
