    Heading to Barcelona for a week in the next month or so. Did a bit of prior-thread research, came up with the following attractions/warnings.

    Things to do:
    - Nou Camp
    - Bus tours
    - Nearby waterpark
    - Parc Guell
    - Gothic quarter
    - Gaudi stuff
    - Zoo
    - Las Ramblas, good for food market during the day

    Things to avoid:
    - Be careful of pickpockets (not a problem, my da had a €400 camera nicked there, left it down for ten seconds...)
    - -Aquarium, not great at all.
    - Las Ramblas. Avoid at night/evening.

    I do need to find a good Irish pub to watch the Leinster game that weekend, and herself wants the All Ireland Hurling Final too. Which of the 4 that I've heard of would you recommend?

    Any other recommendations/things to avoid?

    Day trip out to Montserrat.

    The castle.

    Seriously - the pickpockets - watch out when getting on or off metro.
