I’m especially looking forward to the hotel, as it looks like a miniature version of the Jumeirah in Dubai and is right on the beach. I’ll take plenty of pictures.

I’m keeping my list of things to do short since I’ll only be there for a few days (and since work is priority, obviously). Here are my “musts”:
Go to the Beach
That's pretty obvious. I’ll be happy if I even have an hour to splash around in the Mediterranean.

See La Sagrada Familia Basillica
Another obvious one. No shame in being a little tourist-y.

Enjoy plenty of paella and sangria
My favorite part of traveling is the dining aspect. Can’t wait to sample the local fare. I love paella, so I imagine I’ll be eating my fair share. Sitting and people watching over a good plate of food is always a delight.

I told you it was a short list. If you’ve been to Barcelona and have any suggestions, I’m all ears!

if you have time, definitely get to guell park. it has an amazing view of the city. it's just gorgeous. bring bread/cheese/wine/pastries/ sunscreen and eat and watch people in the park.
wander off the rambla for paella - we found really good paella by the wharf and actually down by the W. bring comfy shoes for lots of walking.
be prepared to wait for the sagrada familia - i've never actually been inside it because 1) the line is way too long and 2) i hear the outside is better than the inside.
there's the picasso and miro museums if you like that kind of stuff. definitely get a fresh fruit smoothie in the big market off the rambla - i think its 1Eu and so good.
have churros con chocolate with a coffee and try not to lick the plate.
watch your valuables while walking, particularly down la rambla.
i'm so jealous. i was there in march and it honestly feels like years ago... have a blast!
so jealous! I have been to Spain once and hit Madrid, SEville, and the Marbella. I would love to go to Barcelona some day! Have a fabulous time..be sure to buy some amazing shoes and/or a handbag there!!!
How awesome! Have a fantastic trip (it'll be hard not to!). Take lots of pics so we can live vicariously through you :)
I am heading there in Sept! I can't wait. I am definitely excited for all the things you speak about!
You didn't mention that last night! Let me know what you think - my husband and I are going to Germany in January to visit family and were thinking about a stop in Barcelona on the way back...
I'm very jealous! Those pictures look fabulous! You'll have a great time!

I was in Barcelona last summer and it's a beautiful city! I posted about it on my blog here and here, if you want to check it out - maybe it'll help with your list.
I would definitely try to make time for the Fonte Magica and a walk through the Barri Gotic, simply gorgeous.
Have an amazing time!
You lucky duck! La Sagrada Familia is just awesome. I went to Barcelona a couple of years ago and loved it.
To answer your question on my blog, you should definitely try out the laundry soap. I use it for everything - even delicates - and it works great!
Amazing! I'm so jealous of this trip of yours. I guess I need a change of profession in order to travel like this.
