All aboard the 303 bus.
Dont think ive ever contributed to this thread (although I cant see the last page as its blocked at work).
I know barcelona very very well, my recomendations would be:
Stay here:
http://www.eljardi-barcelona.com/
Eat here:
http://www.culleretes.com/ - Oldest restaurant in barcelona still open (1768), still original interior tiling, menu del dia is good and cheap, you cant book, you have to turn up at opening and queue.
Watchout for pickpockets, and the people trying to sell you things at cafe will knick stuff if they get an oppurunity. Only drink in the placa real at night in big groups, (personally I wouldnt at all). The clubs down the back alleys that try and entice you in, dont go in, they will lock you in until you've spent a certain amount of money (had to basically fight my way out out of one once, we won be sheer numbers of us).
Dont forget about the foundacio miro, it gets overlooked a lot because of the because of the picasso, dali and gaudi museums. Climbing up the towers in the sagrada familia can be sketchy as fuck when its busy.
