Thank´s guys, will look in to that, we are going without the kids, (well the youngest one is almost 15, so they are no kids anymore)

Hani: I should of known you where there this summer, have seen that but forget, was a bit late yesterday when I made the thread,

and the same goes for you Ludwig, of course I´ll know that Sideways and Strebo been there, on my way to the Swedish Thread. . .

 

Oh and shopping is a killer there... will have to get my wife on TS if you need details, all I have is a CC Bill

 

Stayed at the arts as well for one night only but I highly recommend it

 

Never take your eyes off your wallet/wife/passport. I trust Spaniards like I trust GT3Ranger to be constructive.

 

Oh SNAP!
Yea I don't trust Spain either, they're definitely in cahoots with Greece, Portugal and the rest of the failing world.

 

No, need no details from your wife about killer shopping , thanks anyway!

Will take a closer look on that, I have a Spanish favorite shoe brand with the name of The Art, and I like them, maybe the hotel is just as good!

 

Bump, there must bee some members in spain, or some members that are really familiar with Barca!

 

PM "thedude", he's a barca fanatic (god bless his soul) so i'm sure he's been around there

 

Thank´s my friend, you are a gentleman!

 

Axman!

I'm sorry for my late input (thanks Gray! ). I was raised in Barcelona and lived there for 13 years. For me, it's the best city in the world, and I think you've made a great choice to choose it as your destination.

There are many things to do and explore in Barcelona. As you explore the city, you'll realize the attention to details in almost everything in Barcelona, from the buildings, benches, fountains, light poles make it a city where you cannot get bored. Everything is just artsy.

A good start would be visiting the unfinished cathedral La Sagrada Familia and the Picasso Museum, possibly the two best touristic (art) attractions.

You also need to visit Park Guell which basically is a park/garden designed by Gaudi. Then there's Montjuic; a hill that overlooks the city of Barcelona. Make sure you don't forget your camera cause the sight from up there is simply amazing. Check La Rambla as well, it's a street full of local stores. You'll also find a lot of performers right there on the street which can be entertaining.

I highly recommend you eat at a restaurant called El Cangrejo Loco and Siete Puertas. Those two are top notch Spanish cuisine restaurants, and you definitely won't be disappointed. Also, go to a restaurant called La Pepita. I haven't been there but I've heard great reviews about it. I'm sure you won't forget to try tapas, because they're all over the place! :P

What I mentioned are the things you shouldn't miss. I haven't been there in a long time, and I'm sure there are many more things to do and see. If you want, PM me and I'll ask my family and friends for further details.

Have a great time!

PS: Let me know if you can find me a 00/01 Real Madrid jersey with FIGO "10" printed on the back.
