Just a quick addition, in case you're mentioning another concept there is a "Barcelona Card" which is a totally different kettle of fish to the metro. This is not worth it, unless you plan on visiting absolutely every museum. I would say also that if you plan on doing something like the tourist bus, then you will probably only need 1 T-10.
Glories isn't very central, really, so you will rely on public transport to see the main attractions, but you're also very close to the tram, so don't rely just on the metro (you can use the same card for the whole of the Barcelona transport system).
I think the T-10 would probably do you, as you may get the metro into town, but then end up walking around to see many of the things you had planned on going to on the metro (it's all fairly compact) or if you need to buy 2, it's only going to be 14 euros, so just price up what you think will be best!

Have a great time!

The card for 5 days is better. You can use a T10 only for 10 times. It isn't enough to see all the main attractions in Barcelona.

Zone 1 covers anything in the city and the airport and out into the suburbs. So that's all the attractions unless you want to make a day trip out to Sitges or Monserrat (which you're better off buying separately anyway). Go with zone 1.

A five-day ticket is just over the price of 3 T10 tickets. If you're very active, you might make more than 30 trips (6 trips a day), but I think most tourists would average slightly less. If you're schedule is packed, do the 5-day, otherwise buy the T10.

It's a wonderful city. Enjoy!

A T10 ticket for zone 1 will cover all the area of the "major attractions", but I would advise you to buy a card for five days. Why? Because a T10 is only for ten trips, which for you means two trips daily...somewhere and back. If you want to see a lot of the city and you are staying by the Glories Centre you are going to be using the subway (Metro) and buses to get around. Even though I am sure you are going to do a good amount of walking there will be times when your feet just can't take anymore and at that time it's nice to grab a bus to go those 10 blocks!! I live in Barcelona and I average about four trips per day.
