art in museums that are mostly free, great food, wonderful architecture and Gaudis, is very lively. People slam it for being not Spanish enough, because it has roman and mediterranean influences- but I think that makes it wonderful. Amazing for any art lover. And you can find reasonable B+Bs in the Raval, and walk everywhere.
