I just got home from visiting BCN last week! It was incredible. I spent a lot of time walking, a lot of time with Gaudi, and a lot of time eating. I'd say the Top 3 experiences for me were:

1. La Sagrada Familia. Yes, Barcelona's number one attraction, but for good reason. It's unreal. Wait in the line to visit the interior. Bring cash, not credit. Pay for an audio tour, not a tour guide, so you can take your time with it. I visited it 2 times in 5 days. Unbelievable.

2. Cuines Santa Caterina - the restaurant in the Mercat de Santa Caterina. I'm not kidding, we ate there for nearly every meal. Tapas, cava, and even the best scrambled eggs I've ever had! The design of the menu, the interior, the food, all extremely well done.

3. The waterfront. It's long and transitions through different neighborhoods, so you get a good sense of the city. Go people watch.
