Barcelona means Gaudi, but his contemporaries were quite interesting as well. There was a lot of money rolling around Barcelona at the time, and the local elite competed by pouring money into prestige buildings. The Ruta is a great way to get acquainted with some stunning architecture and skip the Gaudi-worship.

Gaudi is synonomous with Barcelona, and Sagrada Familia is his masterpiece. If you really want, queue up to go inside; all money from the entrance goes towards completing the construction. It's a work in progress and expected to be completed in 2030.

Even if only to appreciate the architecture, MACBA is another Barcelona must. Also, the side streets around can be extremely rewarding, as they house a number of smaller shops and pubs, catering to the art crowd.

Grab a book or your iPod and some food and make a picnic under a tree in its cool shade. If you’re feeling romantic, try renting a rowing boat on the central lake, and ask that special person to marry you. There’s an open WiFi network, but it’s stronger in some places than others, try getting as close as possible to the “W” signs.

It's not really a question of should; you will visit Les Ramblas. It can be a remarkable experience, if only for the complete mix of people. The name is plural, as it's actually five different street names, as you slowly crawl towards the port. Be careful of your belongings at night, when the less savory parts of Barcelona life present itself.

There's no shame in hitting the tourist trail for this one - Gaudi's mad talent is on full display, and it's one of those things that are not to be missed.

For the mix: by day, families and children play on the beach and take in the sights. At night, it turns into a full-blown party with lots of options, especially for LGBT travellers.

The decision to move the nudists to Mar Bella caused some controversy, and you'll still find defiant locals strutting their stuff to protest the move. Amazingly, this beach can actually be fairly quiet, which belies it's very central location. Go hang out for a few hours, before finding a nice place to lunch in the 'Neta proper.

The area is massively popular with the locals - there's usually a sort of fun fair on along the boardwalk, and the less walked areas are used by skaters. The beach club in the back of the area round this off as a great place to go in summer.
