The thing I remember most from my visit in Barcelona is the football stadium (and I am not a very big football fan, just that I never was on any really great stadium). Also bought few presents there for my more football loving friends.

EDIT: of course I am talking about the famous FC Barcelona team stadium. There is another known team from that city if I am correct....

Well, the Sagrada Familia (the weird looking cathedral) and the Rambla (a big avenue buzzing with people) are the most catchy stuff there. Be sure to check out the seaside and, as Marek mentioned, the huge football stadium is also a popular place to visit!

I'm sure you're gonna have a blast, I love that city too! Besides Córdoba, it's my favorite Spanish city (well, it's actually Catalonian...)

Wonderful city Kaz and I'm sure you'll all have a great time.

A couple of additions to the ones already mentioned...

Fundacion Jean Miro - if you like modern art, lots of Miro's work plus Giocometti, Pissaro and others. You can take a venicular railway up to it from the city or the cable car. It's on Montjuic where you can also ind the musical fountain.

Parc Guell, over looks the city and was designed by avant garde architect Antonio Gaudi. You can see a lot of his architecture as you wonder down the Ramblas. He also designed the Sagreda.

Cable car, near the statue of Cristopher Colum (Columbus) is a cable car that sweeps out across the city and the bay.

If you have time you can get the train out to Figures and visit the Salvidor Dali museum.
