Eat in El Quatre Gats (4 Cats) if you can, not far from the Ramblas and close to Placa de Catalunya. If you can also try and go for a meal in Pla, which is down in the old town, again not too far from there, it's amazing All the Gaudi stuff is worth seeing, in particular Casa Batillo and Parc Guell (if it's sunny). If you get the tourist bus you get to see the city and there are loads of places to visit listed there, they are frequent and decently priced. They leave from Placa de Catalunya anyway, you can get tickets in the tourist office there. I've seen the Miro gallery there and the Dali museum, if you like art then they're well worth a look. The Miro one is on the way down from Montjuic where the Olympic Village is, you have to head up that way for great views over the city. The views from Parc Guell are great as well. To be honest you'll not run out of things to do, it's a fantastic city for tourism. Debs will give you a lot more of the local knowledge as well 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swampy Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 People who haven't been to too many places on holiday, and when asked if they have any ideas where someone should go on holiday, always claim one of the places they have been. They invariably think it is the best place in the world despite having never seen many other much better places. It happens all the time on p&bThis isn't to do with Debbie and Barca, but it sort of reminded me of this. To be fair, where else are they supposed to recommend? A lot of people say "I wanna go to X one day" (the much-missed Adam for example) but people can only really base it on their own experience, so... For example if someone wanted to go on a "city break", after I asked them not to use such queer terminology I'd recommend Munich, because it's a short flight away, I've been there, and it's awesome. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluetooner Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 It's not so much the fact they suggest it, as you can only obviously give a review on somewhere you've been.For exmaple if some has only been on a holiday to Cyrpus, they will go out ouf their way to recommend it to everyone despite the fact for a beach type holiday there are thousands of places exactly the same (and better) But if they have only been to Cyprus, and think its the best place there is to go for that holiday then ofcourse they are going to say that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We also did the bus tour - jumping off and on when we fancied. The Nou Camp is a must also. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
