I recommend you the following websites

Bear in mind that Barcelona is the capital of Catalonia, that we have an own language, Catalan (co-official with Spanish) and that a lot of typical Spanish sterotypes (flamenco, bullfighting, sangria even Mexican sombreros) are fake for naive tourists. This is what you must avoid.

It's very easy to be caught by tourist-traps if you do not read about our history, traditions, etc.

sight see sagrada failia, gaudi's house. Lots of places to eat so you won't be stuck for choices. Be warned it's an expensive city.

I have been on a day trip to Barcelona and loved it :o) you must go to the gardens and the unfinished cathedral they are a must as are the dancing fountains on a night.

There is also the streets with the strret entertainers that is also great to watch.

First of all, great choice -I 'm sure you'll have a fantastic time. With regards sights to see, then there are loads - Barcelona has 9 UNESCO World Heritage sites, and there are even some great places to visit apart from those.

For a good start, check out http://www.bcn-rentals.com/barcelona-guide which has been written by expats living in Barcelona and has some great tips.

you might also want to see http://www.barcelonasights.blogspot.com for some local knowledge.

Have fun!
