Just back from Barcelona

This isn't a question, it's advice. Don't eat in a restaurant on La Rambla (the main boulevard) - they'll rip you off.  Eat at a little bar  / cafe in some back street neighbourhood (where you are probably staying). They'll treat you like a friend and give you good value, whereas on La Rambla they are rude and the food is no better but you'll pay several times more for it.
