"Say what you like about Las Ramblas but its never dull. People talk about it going downhill, and blame tourism, but the fact is that there have been prostitutes and petty thieves here for hundreds of years - Barcelona is a port city after all. If anything the area is cleaner and safer than five or ten years ago, and I think most people who visit will see all the good things about Las ramblas without having to focus on the bad"

"Why is it called Placa Reial if Plaza Real is the Spanish name? Confused"

"El Pueblo Espanol is a must visit in Barcelona. A wonderful showcase of the many different architectural styles of Spain. Tickets are fairly expensive but it is a unique attraction of the world."

"def my fave museum in Barcelona. Picasso was a genius and you can see how skilled he was from his early works as well as how influential he was with his more famous cubist pieces. "

"After a Barca victory everyone comes here to get drunk and celebrate. It starts off well but inevitably ends with trashing the place and clashes with the police. I advise if you go to celebrate a win in a big game to go soon after the match and not stay til the end when things can get out of hand. "

MACBA

"I love the MACBA building but I must say I was disappointed with the contents - a lot of the exhibitions lacked the physical presence and visual interest you expect from contemporary art. Certainly I don't think you can compare MACBA favourably to the Tate. I can still just about recommend visiting thanks to the amazing interior. The bar is a pleasant find too. "

La Sagrada Familia

"recently took a guest to revisit La Sagrada and was re-blown away! The exhibition in the back (which I had bypassed last time) reveals Gaudi's inspirations from Mother Nature and its fascinating to look again at the cathedral with this knowledge... I couldn't understand all the technical architectural terms but his employment of science and physics from the natural world into man-made buildings is really impressive (can't believe he was the first to think of it!) and the guy was clearly a genius, even if his taste has been questioned by some. Unlike any other church in Europe... and for fear of spouting a cliche it really is a must-see in Barcelona"

"Amazing. I went with a friend for a superb guitar concert of Spanish and classical music. The venue is remarkably and I couldn't help thinking the architect Montaner can feel a little hard done by to be outshone by Gaudi. We were sat in a box in the main auditorium and there were some wonderful reliefs of the muses at the back of the stage. There was a lovely moment in the concert when someone in the audience started clapping wildly... only to realise that the guitarist was simply tuning his guitar. Very funny!"

"A mind-blowing piece of handiwork, and a great tribute to the legendary Gaudi. Worth coming to Barcelona to see this church alone"
