Heading to Barcelona on Monday...

[LesClaypool]

I'll be there for 6 days. Much of my time is already spoken for for work and/or scheduled group activities, but I've got a free day and a half or so at the front end of the trip, and I'd love some suggestions on things to do or see.

For reference, here's what I'm already doing while I'm there:

• La Sagrada Familia
• Parc Guell
• Las Ramblas
• FC Barcelona futbol match at the Camp Nou

Also taking a walking tour of Barcelona one day, as well as a guided sightseeing Bus tour on another, but I'm not sure which sights or which districts they'll be covering.

Is the Olympic Park area worth exploring? I don't think we'll go there on either of the tours that I'm going to be on.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

The food is incredible. Get Bourdain's tour of Barcelona -- the tapas is incredible.

Not really, it's a little tough to get to, not much out there, but it was cool to see the stadium. I would just spend more time walking around Las Ramblas and checking out Mercat de Sant Josep and trying everything bit of paella you can find.

Wear a "Messi Sucks and should be in jail for tax evasion" shirt and see what happens
