POBLE ESPAÑOL DE MONTJUIC - THE SPANISH VILLAGE
Well worth a visit - Poble Español - situated at the foot of Mount Montjuic.  Created in 1929 on the occasion of the Barcelona International Exhibition, the Spanish Village is the only initiative of its kind which has survived the test of time.  A collection of streets and squares, monuments and buildings, representing the different peoples and cultures of Spain.  Some might call it kitsch, but it is an attractive and interesting place to visit, full of shops selling the handicrafts of the various regions.  There are restaurants and cafes to enjoy a break and also an art gallery, Fundacio Fran Daurel.
Above the entrance is a terrace cafe with incredible views (but alas, bad service and incredibly high prices!)  However, the views were worth it...
