Montjuic

Steep, steep hill, lashings of rain and a lovely howling wind. There is, BTW, a bus which goes there too.

La Sagrada Família

Started in the 1880's and currently due to be completed in the next decade, you might argue that it's taken a day too long. I'm not even sure I like it, but it is big and it is clever.

Parc Guell

Gaudi's final secular project. After this he devoted himself to the Sagrada Familia until the silly sausage got hit by a tram and killed to death.

Gaudi's Casa Milá etc.

The locals joke that with all of the curved walls the residents can only keep snakes as pets.
