If going out for dinner to a nice restaurant - make sure you have reservations. Many of the nice / expensive restaurants may have only 1 or 2 seatings for the evening. If you walk in, see empty tables and think you'll be seated, there's a good chance you won't - I speak from experience. I would also suggest reservations for lunch at the nicer restaurants. Barcelona has incredible food. I got up early the morning I was leaving Barcelona and walked around the Barri Gothic district. It was blissfully empty except for a few Spanish guitar players setting up and practicing. Walking the narrow streets while Spanish guitar music filled the air was magical.
PERFUMES, COLOGNE, FRAGANCE...
by parsix
It called my attention while watching T.V. the lack of variety of Ads. I enjoying wacthing ads whilst traveling, it reflect a side of the local society and some are very creative. Every 30 sec there was an ad for perfums, yes it was Chritsmas time, still after two days I started to find it annoying.
Well then, no surprise to find one of the biggest retail chain beauty chains in Europe completely pack on Chritsmas day.
After alll those ads I guess the least you can do is buy a bottle of the latest fragances in the market.
Soccer in Las Ramblas

In Las Ramblas avenue you can find almost every day Juan Sabate, former soccer player that now entertaings the people who pass by Las Ramblas doing ball taps. He's got a few world records in that "speciality": 26.000 taps while seated!!!!
Living Statues
by SirRichard
As you walk along the Ramblas U can see many street artists performing various shows. One of the more popular are these "living statues", persons in disguised, frequently painted in metallic colours, who stand still for a while. When U stop and throw them a coin, they make a slow "mechanical" movement to thank you for your contribution.
