Hi all - I have been reading lots of great post - please help me plan two quick days for my in laws - they are 70ish and don't want to have to hassle with much - any suggestions for them? On/off bus tour? Also, train or bus back up to Dordogne (SW) France to meet us for the last leg in France? THANKS!

I suggest you take a look at Maribel's Guide to Barcelona (http://maribelsguides.com), or one of the following:

Turisme de Barcelona

Barcelona Travel Guide
http://www.aboutbarcelona.com/

Website of the city of Barcelona

whatever they do, don´t let them waste time at the train station getting a ticket to france.
they should pay the extra 5 euros or so and get it at el corte inglés or a travel agency or through hotel where they speak english and there is not much of a line.

the tourist bus is a great solution to hassle free overall view of city.

If I was sending my parents, I'd suggest the on/off tour bus. It looked like a great way to see the city.
