We started our trip in Barcelona, a city filled with people at all hours of the day. Being a "world class city", in the European Union, also means that is somewhat pricey. Apparently it isn't pricey just for tourists, but for the locals as well.
A recap of what we saw and did in Barcelona:

All things Gaudi, or almost everything. Starting our way in Parc Guell, we made our way to Sagrada Familia (in the rain), then to the apartment buildings. We questioned whether we should go inside Casa Mila, but after seeing the ridiculously long line-up, it was a quick decision to go on our our way.
- Passeig de Gracia was the way we made our way back. Picture it as New York's Fifth Ave.

Las Ramblas, which was just a few steps from our B&B. Filled with tourists, a market of many things (most popular were the caged birds), and high priced establishments. We took a stroll just to see the place, and to make our way to the La Boqueria (a HUGE fruit, meat and wine market). Definitely would love to have such a place back home.
- Barri Gotic (the old town) and everything in it. Europe at its best, with narrow curvy streets, churches, little shops, and cafes.

Tapas, sangria and wine. While wine is plentiful, it comes mostly by the bottle. And smoking is also plentiful.
