Some of my ex's family were Catalonian, so if you can get out the city and see a bit of the country, you won't be disappointed, the people are luvverly
In the city though, the neu camp is awesome - and I fooking hate girly football.
The picasso museums good...
But the best bits are all of Gaudis architecture, obviously the cathedral "Expiatori del Sagrada Familia". It's pretty amazing even if you're not interested in that kinda thing.
Theres a nightclub on the main stretch called called "casa del diablo" [house of the devil] which you have to go to, to appreciate the name.....
Have a great time though mate, it's probably the nicest city in Spain
