    If you haven't seen the synchronized light show with the fountain your are missing an evening treat in the city. Pro tip, the show looks pretty much the same from any angle

    This is one of the most popular and touristy streets/walks for shopping, dining and people watching. Do beware of pickpockets. There's very limited seating in this area, so be prepared to walk until you're ready for lunch or dinner!

And also if you are in Barcelona to spend a short time, and then drink the water from the Fuente de la Canaletas, you know that you will return to Barcelona one day.
