7 to 8 days shouldn't be a problem the first week or so of January. You'll be there for Three Kings Day, the biggest celebration of the Christmas season. If you want, you can head up to Begur for a couple of days if the weather is nice, which it normally is, and enjoy the sunrise from a room at the Parador. The last time we where there after New Years, it was 60F under clear blue skies.

7 - 8 days is not too long to visit Barcelona - you could spend weeks and not run out of things to do. My husband and I spent six weeks there this summer. As others have said, there are some easy day trips by train. We liked Girona and the Cava region. Here's our trip report with sightseeing ideas... http://latitudeb.com/summer-of-spain...-in-barcelona/.
P.S. There is a lot of tourist crime in Barcelona - so be alert for pickpockets.
