The Nautical Museum down by the statue of Columbus is phenomenal. It is housed in a Medeival shipyard, one of the largest public works structures surviving erect in Europe -- go in mid-morning and you can stroll around the waterfront afterwards, and pick a nice seafood restarant for a late lunch.

Similarly, you can take the city bus to El Parque Guell (and Gaudi museum) and then walk downhill into Barcelona (and from there, it is all downhill).

I also recommend a visit to El Boqueria market, right off Las Ramblas -- you will see every kind of food available in Barcelona.

Lest you get the completely accurate idea I travel for my tummy, I'll also recommend a visit to La Tomaquera (Magarit 5, which cooks everything over an open fire and features the best grilled artichokes in the world -- and some of the best Pa amb Tomaquet (grilled tomato bread) in the city.

That address should be Magarit 58 for La Tomaquera.
