Besides that....check out that god-awful looking church with the modernistic, really ugly (IMO) design....and somewhere downtown there is a Picasso museum that I never got to.

Hope this helps! Heh hehh.
Read the thread about police behaving badly. I'd say you got off easy.
Did you go into the church--the outside is so-so IMO--one side traditional, one side Gaudi's design, one more modern side is someone else's, and the front was under construction when I was there. No idea what it's supposed to look like. It's the interior that floored me.
The Picasso museum has a lot of early stuff and a bunch of his interpretations of Velasquez' Las Meninas but nothing else from the peak of his career.Worth skipping.
