First Night Barcelona0
We are two adults and two teens. We will be arriving in Barcelona by train in the afternoon of 2/28. We have tickets for Sagrada Familia at 4:00. Trying to figure out what it makes sense to do afterwards. Based on the time we would not be able to go to la Pedrera or Casa Mila that day.
It will be getting dark by that time. Should we walk via Passeig De Gracia and see the exteriors of buildings, or take the metro or a taxi towards Barri Gòtic? Walk las Ramblas or avoid it? We thought of having dinner and then possibly taking in a flamenco show at placa reial.
thank you!

Maybe dinner and a bit of a walk/tour combined? I did this on my first day in Barcelona and loved it:

And don't worry about missing the Magic Fountain. It was fun, but I've seen better.

I didn't try Los Tarantos, and so can't say. But FWIW, when I planned my trip to Barcelona, Fodor's had a poster -- kimhe -- who truly KNEW (and loved) flamenco. He recommended Tablao de Carmen and Tablao Cordobes. I enjoyed the meal at Tablao de Carmen, but have no idea how it would suit anyone with a restricted diet. Good luck with your planning!

kimhe was a tremendous source of invaluable information. I didn't always agree with him, but I miss his insights.
