Sites
- La Sagrada Familia; absolute must do, and absolute must to go inside. You haven’t seen La Sagrada Familia unless you’ve been inside!
- La Boqueria; the markets just off Las Ramblas- great fresh food, especially seafood which even has little booths where you can have your food cooked! Great for fresh fruit and veg, great way to kick the jetlag!
- Las Ramblas; just walk along Las Ramblas to get a feel for how busy the city is! Watch your bags, but check out the human statues and caricaturists!
- Casa Batlló; One of Gaudi’s gems! One of the best Audiovisual tour guides I’ve seen!
- Parque Güell; Another of Gaudi’s gems!
- Hospital de San Pau; incredibly beautiful hospital and grounds near La Sagrada Familia

- Barceloneta; the beach of course!
