Hey joseph, Barcelona is a great city but a 2 1/2 week vacation there is overkill  I know, you will be travelling around as well to other places and using BCN as a base, good idea. I hope ya get some travel buddies out of this thread. Saludos, jer...

I have just returned from my 2nd visit to Barcelona in less than 12 months, and I always find plenty to do. Having said that I have not stayed more than 5 days, but I suggest you take the Bus Touristic from Placa de Catalunya. There are 2 routes, as with the Madrid Vision bus, and you can get on and off at any of the stops. If you buy a 2 day ticket you can spend at least 3 hours visiting one of the main tourist attractions, i.e. Sagrada Familia, Futbol Club Barcelona and Montjiuc. This way you can fill in all of the daylight hours, at night you can get the Metro up to Placa Espanya and see the musical fountain which operates between 7.30. and 8.30pm. A trip to Monserrat, 68km. northwest of Barcelona, is a great day out too. You could also visit Sitges on the coast and Penedes the winery area and sample wines at one of the 40+ wineries producing sparkling bubbly. What ever you choose to do enjoy your time in Catalonia!!!!!
I love spain
