[SystemSafety] help in Barcelona Spain

[Amaya Atencia Yepez]

Dear colleagues,
I read this list because it is a safety forum, but not a discussion about Spanish national borders or tourism.
 I think we all have many mails in our mailbox to pay attention to.
Please, keep this list to its original aim and move this type of conversation to a private chat.
Thanks for helping to maintain the safety discussions alive.
Amaya

Barcelona is a great choice for a holiday though five days is probably not enough. I tried to do it in seven and ended up extending to 11. I documented my visit here:

Be advised that in visiting Barcelona you are going to Catalunya not Spain.
Antoni Gaudí's Cathedral Sagrada Família was the highlight. It's the most amazing piece of architecture I have ever seen.
The other thing I loved about Barcelona was the dancing in the streets as you will see in my blog. The Catalonians love their land. They are possessing of and possessed. It is in their poetry, songs and dances; around every corner and in every town square, written in the simple steps passed from one generation to the next, eternal and unconquerable. Their Catalan dialect says a lot with little. A sixteenth century poet monk expressed it with a simple quatrain:

L’Emigrant

Dolça Catalunya, (sweet Catalunya)
patria del meu cor, (homeland of my heart)
quan de tu s’allunya, (to be far from you)
d’enyorança es mor. (is to die of longing)

Jacint Verdaguer

RE: Safety
Barcelona is famous for its pickpockets. I was hit twice in one day (refer my blog). Leave nothing in your pockets especially in well trodden tourist areas. Don't leave anything dangling down that can be grabbed, for example camera straps. These two incidents wouldn't stop me from going back though. I love the place.

Cheers
Les

I do not know if this is appropriate, so I apologize in advance.  I am seeking advice about what to see and where to stay (area or hotel) in Barcelona Spain.  I have not been there before but will be staying 5 nights and 5 days.  I will be arriving on a cruise ship.
