Look up who all the artists were who lived there at the beginning of the 20th century...that ought to be fodder for some interesting stuff.

Café Quatre Chats has a menu, the decorations of which were designed by Picasso himself.

Look up how and when GaudĂ­ died. That's a good story.

Chocolate producing center of Spain....can't go wrong with that.

The Columbus Column at the Port end of Las Ramblas is pointing south, because if he were pointing West, towards the New World, he would also be pointing towards Portugal...their Exploration rival.

Must be SOME sort of good info regarding the Olympics! I knew one of the divers! Does that count?
