My family and I are staying two nights in Barcelona. Any suggestions on things to do?

Buy the DK Eyewitness Top 10 guide to Barcelona and follow their suggestions and you'll have a great time.

Download a copy of Maribel's Guide to Barcelona (http://maribelsguides.com). She has a lot of excellent suggestions.

You can also check Turisme de Barcelona (http://www.barcelonaturisme.com/) and the Barcelona Travel Guide (http://www.aboutbarcelona.com/)

I was in Barcelona in May. It's a wonderful city, and I'll go back again the first chance I get.

Since you're asking about family activities, I suggest:

1. La Fonda--Restaurant

* It's on Escudellers, right off of La Rambla
* Hands down this is the best restaurant in Barcelona. The food is great, the atmosphere is trendy/classy (yet you can wear what you want), and the prices can't be beat. (Try the goat cheese salad w/ salmon)
* The place is very popular so the line can be long, but trust me; It moves fast, and it's worth it to wait.

2. Fat Tires Bikes

* It's on Escudellers, further up the street from La Fonda
* They offer great and inexpensive city bike tours. It's cool to take a tour early on in your stay. You'll find many things to do and see on the tour so when you're alone, you know what places to check out and what to get into.
* Ask for Ivan. He's great! He's from California, but has been in Barcelona awhile now.

3. Tablao de Carmen

* If you're interested in an authentic Flamenco show and a nice dinner, this is the place for you and a date. Even if you just want drinks and a show, you can do that too.
* It's located in Poble Espanyol

Have fun!

Ciao,

P.S. Don't ask anyone for the time. One night I was walking down Avinguda de Parallel, and I asked the first person I saw for the time. Long story short...I got cursed out in Catalan by a 6'3 drag queen prostitute with a lisp. *-)
