I'm happy to report that my second trip to Barcelona was just as enjoyable as the first. I swung into full tour guide mode for a few of my uninitiated fellow travellers ... a whistle-stop trip around notable Gaudi sites [last year's impressions]. First on the list was Parc Guell, which I missed out on last time ... we rounded the corner of the gates and, wouldn't you know it, stumbled right into the middle of an S Club 7 video shoot. Awww, crap. For those of you who are interested in such things, they are all very short and that-blonde-one-wot-sings was smoking furiously between takes. Aside from that minor scenery blip, the rest of the Parc was great, as were La Pedrera and La Sagrada Familia - just as beautiful the second time around. The following day was mostly occupied with being lazy - a long stroll around Barceloneta and the beach-front and a small amount of pinking up too (one wouldn't want to be seen to be too pale, now would one?). Top dining tip: if you're visiting the Catalan capital, check out "La Crema Canela" at the top entrance to the Plaça Reial. Absolutely fantastic food and setting, and two courses and a share of a goodly amount of wine only came to around 12 euros. Muy bueno!
