Went on a stag last weekend. There are loads of taxis on the rank outside the airport. Great clubs bars on the edge of the beach. Beware though three out of 18 got their phones stolen. Great place to party!
Worth a visit: Park Guell, Sagrada familia (I just looked at it from outside), Get to the nou camp if you can. Las ramblas is fun, although watch your pockets and it changes quite drastically at night! Litre beers in the sun Montjuic has an amazing view from it. The gothic quarter was interesting if I remember correctly. Their version of madamme tusauds on las ramblas was pretty funny.
I had a great time just wandering around in the sun there. It has an really nice atmosphere, and the beach isn't too bad if you have time. Although I sprinted into the sea when I went and ran into (an underwater) rock... don't do that
Got great mix of nice bars, restaurants, culture, the port areas - and for pure tackiness Baja Beach Club (is that still there?).
Like most cities also got a seedy underbelly.
Remember being down there for the grand prix 10 years ago or so. Was cutting through from La Rambla to our hotel in Av de Parallel. Cam across some kind of street party mainly made up of immigrants. A girl who could be no older than 10 came up to our group, spat at our feet, gave a volley of abuse and walked off to a group of angry looking men in dirty white vests !!!

Like most busy cities plenty of pickpockets!
Great open top tour buses, jump on and off as you please
As any city eat off the beaten track and you'll find good food and drink at reasonable prices.
Lovely beach areas to the south of the city
Stadium tours for Barcelona, but always long queues
It can be as expensive or inexpensive as you want
Great city to visit, one of our favourite places
Barri Gotic very touristy - better to wander round the Ribera and El Born parts of the old city
We're going again next week.
Agree do a open top bus and jump off jump on where you please.
Sagrada Familia is worth doing.

Bstd company
It's the Marmite of Spain
The sun tan obviously suits me, as there were so many women, asking me if I wanted sex.
Think I fell in love about 30 times a day on the beach. The women are a joke.

And having to fight off the pickpockets.
Still love it though.
