Heading to Barcelona for a week in the next month or so. Did a bit of prior-thread research, came up with the following attractions/warnings.

Things to do:
- Nou Camp
- Bus tours
- Nearby waterpark
- Parc Guell
- Gothic quarter
- Gaudi stuff
- Zoo
- Las Ramblas, good for food market during the day

Things to avoid:
- Be careful of pickpockets (not a problem, my da had a €400 camera nicked there, left it down for ten seconds...)
- -Aquarium, not great at all.
- Las Ramblas. Avoid at night/evening.

I do need to find a good Irish pub to watch the Leinster game that weekend, and herself wants the All Ireland Hurling Final too. Which of the 4 that I've heard of would you recommend?

Any other recommendations/things to avoid?

Day trip out to Montserrat.

The castle.

Seriously - the pickpockets - watch out when getting on or off metro.
