- 13.Montjuïc by cable car — Ride up over the port to the castle, then wander down through gardens to the Miró museum and the Magic Fountain. A whole green afternoon hanging above the city.
- 14.Pintxos on Carrer de Blai — A pedestrian street of bars where everything on the counter costs a euro or two — take a plate, spear what you like, they count the toothpicks at the end. Dinner for a tenner, done the fun way.
