Lots to do and see in and around Barcelona, spent a while there myself as used to have a GF from Sabadell just up the road from Barca, we drove from Barcelona upto St Tropez (to visit my aunt/uncle) and on to Monaco, had 4 days around there, lots of nice places to eat and great for people watching in St. Trop harbour cafes/restaurants admiring the super yachts 
....Yum-yum! Latino GF's
I very nearly emigrated to Venezuela due to one. Hola!! That BT TV ad must remind you of good times.
Aye Miss Sanchez-Garcia was a good un (She was a Ballet dancer

), fortunately not a spanish girl with a face full of teeth (lot's of them around

) she was good fun but I could not commit to move to spain due to work so ended it.
Yes the TV AD is good (She looked very much like the one using the Ipad

)
