We loved Barcelona, it had one of the coolest pieces of art I've seen in Europe. Parc Guell is a garden complex with architectural elements situated on the hill of el Carmel in the Grà cia. Their http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Park_Güell doesn't do it justice! A great park with statues, tile work, viewpoints, it's like being in a piece of artwork on the wall. Truly cool.

Christine - there's a lot to do in Barcelona, and I'm sure it's even more fun when it's warm.
