Connoisseurs will turn up their noses, but this is one of my favourite places to go for good, inexpensive, and fun sushi. I have brought people here who are wary of sushi but find themselves enjoying rolls with creamed cheese, fried salmon skin, and other not-very-authentic additions.
And I've never paid more than $30 for two people to be stuffed at the end of the meal.
Valencia/22nd st, San Francisco
While living in Barcelona I went here nearly every weekend because of its stunning views and unlimited picnic possibilities. There are several beautiful gardens for wandering, including a cactus garden, the gardens of Jacint Verdegeur (my favourite), and a children's garden.
There are also a couple great museums, the Miro Museum and the Museum of Art of Catalonia (the impressive building you see as you approach from Plaza Espana).
The funicular is a great way to climb the mountain if you don't want to walk. Best of all, it never gets the crowds of tourists that Parc Guell does...if urban Barcelona is wearing you out, Montjuic will provide the antidote!
