We prefer not to spend alot of time on a tour bus or in museums- we are also uncertain as to what the weather will be like. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Ronda near Marabella is highly recommanded so why not get yourself a rent a car, not so expensive.

If you love to shop for art try all the fantastic shops on the streets around the Picasso museum. The main Las Ramblas that everyone raves about was tacky and cheap and the restaurant we ate in was third rate. By night it is just a red light area. But do wander down all the side streets which lead you to designer shops, squares, cafes and markets. The Olympic stadium is worth a visit and do visit the marina area and walk along the marina front - it is beautiful. Some restaurants: Panyvino, Consolet del Mar, 15 08003 Born ( 93 268 77 76) - home cooking and inexpensive Thai Gardens, C/Diputacion 273 08007 (93 487 98 98) - expensive but lovely dining experience Puttanesea, Gran Via de es Corts Catalanes 618 (93 342 41 74) - if you fancy an Italian Obviously an abundance of tapas restaurants everywhere - but avoid eating on Las Ramblas! You have to visit Parc Guell - the Gaudi creation which is very beautiful. I recommend you go there at your leisure rather than on a rushed tour! Have a great time! --- Moloko....
