Then venture out and explore as long as were able
Head to Montjuic fountains possible (only night we will be there when they are lit up)
Maybe wander Carrer de Blai

Sunday
Visit Cathedral
Do a pre arranged electric bike tour of the Barri Gotic area (ending about 1:30 PM)
Explore

Monday
La Sagrad Famila (tickets will be bought a head of time)
After follow tree lined street to Sant Pau Moderinsta area

Afternoon Park Guell (should I buy tickets a head of time and How long is reasonable to allow.
Go to Palosanto Restaurant

Tuesday

Montjuic
Olympic Village
Barcelonetta/beach

Wed

Those are the must dos I then have a list of things to add in where and when it works:
360 Degree Roof Top for a drink and maybe watch the sun set
La Boqueria -for food food etc
Paradiso/Pastrami Underground bar (funking trendy drinks)
Placa Reial
Possibly Casa Battlo

Any other must sees or wandering around suggestions

Not so sure of an organised electric bike tour of the Bari Gotico which is largely pedestrianised with very narrow streets.

Cheryl, I found Palau de la Musica Catalana really special. You can either sign up for a tour, or get tickets for a performance. I was lucky and did both. Cafe there is very nice and reasonable too, for a light meal. I also did a tour of the Sant Pau Hospital Complex, very lovely and impressive, especially as it was endowed and constructed to be a hospital for Barcelona’s poorest. You mention going to the area, but not visiting the hospital. It is a 15-minute slightly uphill walk from Sagrada Familia.

Thanks for the input Larry and David. I love the additions and as long as the day goes as plans will add them. As for the bike tour I have had several friends that did it and said it was wonderful so we will give it a try.

Thanks again for all input over the past several months.

One more thing. Should I buy tickets for Park Guell before we leave the states or can I do it when we arrive? The one I saw was 7 Euro does that sound correct. Thanks

Definitely go to Casa Battlo.

Also the Santa Caterina public market is worth visiting. Less touristy.

Camp Nou tour and maybe a soccer game? I think Espanyol is in town that week. FC Barça on the road. What are the plans for at the beach? November may be a bit too cold.
