Barcelona - such a special city, which can not be simply impossible to come only once. First, I want to lie on the beach plenty of sunbathing and sipping mojitos at the beach "chiringito." Then wake up the interest in the old town - the streets of the Gothic Quarter and Born, Youth and bars crowded squares of Gracia.
