It’s a good idea to book your guided tour in advance. From the Gothic Quarter it is 15 minute metro train journey and 7 minute walk either side to and from the station. A 2 day train ticket is only €17.50 per person for unlimited travel.

Las ramblas
@TheTravelSourcerer
This is one of the main avenues that is great to walk down and people watch. Don’t eat here (other than at the markets) as it is very touristy and overpriced.
