	Tips as to what to see in specific locations in Spain Suffering from ads?

I'm going on a week long tour of spain. It is organized meaning that the moajority of the time I'll be lead around by an instructor with a group. I will recieve enough spare time though, to wander about. I can also choose to stay at the hotel in Costa Brava.

I want tips as to what I should see in each place, and whether it is worth it, or is it better to stay in the hotel or go somewhere else.

I will be visiting the following locations (each trip takes a whole day):

- Barcelona (two times)
- Monserat monastery
- Hirona and then Figars (?) (the town of Salvador Dali)
- Costa Brava and it's sorroundings
- Andorra

What is Granada?

Just get lots of picks of hot Spanish chicks...

I have never been to Spain, but would like to and probably will soon. My ex-boss moved to Seville a couple of moths ago. I will be interested to hear of your trip... have fun!

Granada is the southern most portion of Spain where the Moors held out the longest. I believe it's also where the Al Hambra is located.

Post it at the Spanish Forum, I know the thread it´s really OT but they usually don´t browse much the OTF so I doubt someone will answer here .

I see that you are going to at the northeast zone (Cataluña country) so I give you a more specific advice.

quote: Originally posted by Sirotnikov - Barcelona (two times)

I was there three years ago , reason why there are sites that can have changed (bars and discos mainly). I suppose that you will see the most typical things on your guided trip (Sagrada Familia, Güell Park, Ramblas, Olimpic Promenade, Aquarium, Barça Stadium (110000), City beaches, Maremágnum...)

Museums:

-CCCB & MACBA (modern art), Miró Foundation, Tápies Foundation, Picasso Museum, Museo de la Erótica ....

Eating: every street has a good place:

-Can Culleretes, Fresc-Co (vegetarian self-sevice), Dive! (owned by Steven Spielberg, submarine form), Téxtil café...

Drinking & Cofee: Thousands

-Schillins (fashion, top models), Café de l'Ópera at the Ramblas, Laie, Els Cuatre Gats...

Night & Dance: Thousands. Opposite to other cities there is much mixture in every place

-Club Felini (international DJs), Fou Performance Night Club (Weird, founded by a gay ex-monk), Zeleste (top concerts)...

Surrounding Barcelona with mountains there is the Collserola Urban Park, With Foster communications tower at the top.

quote: - Monserat monastery

Montserrat (=Sawed mount )
Strictly guided tour. Near the monastery there are impressive caves that are said inspired to Gaudí: Caves of Colbató
Another interesting near mountain: Cardona's mine of salt. Shining

quote: - Hirona and then Figars (?) (the town of Salvador Dali)

Girona: I haven't been, They have a very well conserved medieval center.
Figueres:

quote: - Costa Brava and it's sorroundings

Wonderful beaches, Sitges specially. Visit the Ebro Delta: Natural park threatened by a massive engineering project
And Medas islands, there is a submarine trip.

quote: - Andorra

tech & clothes purchasing (No taxes) Amazing high mountains, try a walk.
There is a precious near valley, Aran valley where you can see ancient rest of the romanic culture, also you can practice climbing, fishing or rafting at the most wild river of Spain: Noguera Pallaresa.

Try going to Aigüestortes & Sant Maurici Lake National park: One of the best places at the Pyrenean mountain range.

Siro: If you're a soccer fan and your guided tour of Barcelona doesn't take in the Nou Camp you should definitely find time to go. It's an amazing sight even when empty and the trophy room is spectacular.

Andorra: The traffic is horrendous. Really get away from the main road if you want some quiet walks. Very pretty though.

Cordoba and Granada are worth a look.

OK, that's probably understating it a bit. No holiday in Spain would be complete without taking in Cordoba and Granada. They simply cannot be missed, for too many reasons to go into here. The Ahlambra deserves special mention though.

Gibraltar is a curiosity; like stepping straight into England from Spain.
