Advantages: Great city, fun, party, culture, nice people Disadvantages:
...I stayed in Barcelona for a two weeks languagecourse during september this year. I didn't have an idea which kind of city it would be; but already on the way to my youth hostel, which was situated directly at Las Ramblas, I knew that the time there will be just perfect - and I was right!!! Barcelona is just a great city - old buildings, nice, little streets, Las Ramblas, Sagrada Familia, the beach, many great bars and clubs - and last but not least sooo many great people!
Barcelona - definetly one of the best cities in the world!!!...

Advantages: So much to see Disadvantages: Finding somewhere to stay
...Barcelona is only 2-hour flight away and the fare including tax is only around £100 or less... What are you doing this weekend?
Come to the beautiful seafront of Barcelona and enjoy the gentle sea breeze of Mediterranean Sea. You can even ride a cable car over the modern habour of Barcelona. It will take you to the clean sandy beaches (St Sebastia) just beyond the habour. The cable car also goes to a hill (Montjuic) where you'll find the vast Olympic Stadium (Estadi Olimpic), and a domed palace (Palau Nacional) which is now a museum of Catalan art. On top of the hill, there is a disused military fortress (Castell de Montjuic) that can be reached also by cable car. Up here, you'll appreciate the panoramic view of Barcelona city. To go down from Montjuic to street level, try the funicular railway (Funicular de Montjuic) or just walk down...

Advantages: Great value metro tickets, that are valid for one day Disadvantages: can get really hot during the summer months
..., even though it is still being built.
The oldest section of the city was built on the harbour. This is crossed by the Rambla, a paved street extending from the harbour to the Plaza de Cataluna, the focal point of the city. The streets of the old section are narrow and crooked, in the newer sections they are wide and straight, and the buildings are modern. This area is great there are many markets just off of the Rambla and many street performers to entertain you. A visit to Barcelona is a great idea for a family, there is many things to do, including two funfairs and a zoo and the olypmic stadium is well worth a visit, but remember to take your swimming gear, you can go for a swim in the olympic swimming pool....
