Barcelona Tourist Trap Tips by emilybcn

Honestly the Ramblas probably is a tourist trap, but ironically it is still a must see for Barcelona, it's definitly worth strolling a couple times but you won't want to spend your entire trip, or limit your nightlife to the Ramblas.

At Least Do This: You must go becuase there are great places along the way, the columbus statue, la boqueria, the liceu opera house, and those street performers.

The corte ingles may seem like it has everything,(supermarket, department store etc.) but you should be warned that it is much more expensive than other clothing stores and other supermarkets.

At Least Do This: If you need food and it's the only place around it's worth it but I've never seen any clothes here that were worth the extra cost, they're not particularly unique it's mostly western styles and mass marketed things you could get anywhere.
Alternative: Instead go to the cheapest supermarkets, dia, lidl, condis, caprabo. You won't find on the main streets but just go down the side streets ( off the beaten path I suppose) and you'll definitely find one. Opencor is also more expensive but it's open very late.
