When you are there, don’t forget to look down. The sidewalks have different patterns on them depending upon where you are in the city.
How to travel to Barcelona
How I did it: I went for a week several years ago, as the field trip for part of my master's degree in Heritage Studies. We were visiting primarily to look at how the museums had been set up. It wasn't particularly expensive, to fly there or stay there and there are usually inexpensive deals on the internet. Go with friends, if possible!
Lessons & tips: Its a beautiful city. I had a moment of total happiness when, wandering along a small cobbled side street in warm spring sunshine, I could hear someone in the distance singing "Quizas, quizas, quizas" with a guitar. It was just perfect. The Gaudi buildings are wonderful, and I was so impressed with them that when I came home I started covering bits of my garden with broken china mosaic.
