Barcelona Tips?

[HouHorn97]

Heading there for business in mid-March. Will be tied up in mtgs most of the days but any tips on good restaurants, bars, quick sites to see are welcome and appreciated.

And yes, I'm dreading the 7-8 hr flight from Newark to Barcelona on a 757...what's up with that, Continental? I may go Newark-Madrid-Barcelona just to be on a 767 for the long leg.

Sagrada Familia. Anything Gaudi. Anything Calatrava.

Don't laugh when the locals call it -- Barthalona.

Beautiful city with beautiful women. Great architecture.

What Stuck at Work said.

For art, the Fundacio Joan Miro. For more architecture, the Barcelona Pavilion (van der Rohe).

If there's any way you can swing it, make the trek to Figueres to see the Dali museum. You'll feel like you're in one of his paintings.

Damn. I need to go back soon. I miss Spain.

BUMP.

I will be there the weekend of March 7th. 1st question, if it's a few dudes rolling, HOSTEL >>>> HOTEL, correct? And if so, which ones are rowdy and badass?
