I know this is an early post for a trip in june of next year but i cant wait. I have friends there but would like to know what are key things to see and places to visit?

pokaapokaa, hmm that is quite the name !

I can give you a list of places to see, but since you have friends there.......... why not let them take you to all the "must see places"

Hi!!

If you want to know the authentic Barcelona (and not just the Barcelona that a normal travel guide shows you) you can take a look to my blog: discover-spain.blogspot.com
You can find some interesting places to visit, "movie walks", information about the nightlife of Barcelona, etc.
I hope you'll find useful!
And if you have any question don't hesitate to contact with me!

my friends are wonderful but i hate to burden people and i like to do my own sightseeing sometimes. and pokaapokaa is a nickname. 'percy' is that a nickname?

thank you for websites i will research everything i read book or on-line i take into consideration.

i will def. look up your blog and dont be surprised if u do hear from me even if i have a map i sometimes get lost in a new city 'Adria'
