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!
