They had a European Cup there so I got my picture taken with it, in my Villa top of course !

Isn't there a beach within walking distance from La Ramblas ?
The Nou Camp tour was superb.

Bottom of La Ramblas. Turn left and round a bit and there it is. Madrid's better though - with or without a beach.

Agree. Barcelona has hyped itself up beyond reality, while Madrid just gets on with being a far better city to visit.

The Olympic stadium tour in Berlin is even better than Madrid, it's a fantastic stadium.
