“Travel is more than the seeing of sights; it is a change that goes on, deep and permanent, in the ideas of living.” – Miriam Beard

Casa Mila
Park Guell
Magic Fountain
The Beach & Beach Night Clubs
Las Ramblas
Picasso museum - recommended if you have time. I learned that Picasso is a genius. His renditions of "Las Menina's" is amazing and pretty deep once you study them. I also learned that Picasso is quite a pervert. He had some very erotic paintings and drawings that I would have never expected from him. See "Nessus et Dejanire," "Nu couche avec Picasso assis a ses pieds" Afterwards, We went to this yummy tapas place twice for lunch. It was called Princesa 23 (also a bar at night) right on Rue de Princesa, steps away from Picasso museum.
After lunch, walk a little further down Princesa and go to Creps Barcelona.
Saturday Night - Definitely have to go to the Magic Fountain Show
Take the L3 Green Line to Plaza de Espayna or L1 Red Line to Plaza de Espayna. Walk through arch, toward the fountains you cant miss it. It's absolutely beautiful. Its on Friday and Saturday nights with music at 19:00 19:30 20:00 20:30
For Dinner, we went to Citrus. Make reservations on the phone or in person that day. It's very elegant you would think it would be so expensive but its affordable and delicious. The restaurant also offers the best views of Passeig de Gracia in Barcleona. Very good and very fresh Mediterranean cuisine. its on Passeig de Gràcia 44, right down the street from Gaudi's Casa Mila.
Opium & Catwalk - well-known clubs on the beach
Dow Jones Bar - cool bar where the prices of drinks fluctuate like in the stock market. As more people buy one kind of beer, the price for that goes up. At the same time, the prices of the other beers go down. When the stock market crashes, theres a scramble to buy, as all drinks are are half off.
