Olivia, et al--glad you're having such a great time. We loved Barcelona when we were there a few years ago--at least we liked it up until the point that my purse was stolen. Purse snatching and pick pocketing are apparently a huge problem in Barcelona. When I went to the Police station to report it, I actually had to stand in a long line of tourists with the same problem. And there were at least 20 people on the ship we were on that had the same problem. Anyway--I'm glad your guide recognized the pick pockets and you didn't have to deal with that. Hope nobody else did either.
