Our backpacks were weighted down by all the souvenir we bought from Guinness Warehouse so we have no choice but to post our souvenirs back home. The postage cost us about EUR60, even more expensive than the stuffs.
Our Ryanair flight from Dublin to Barcelona was delayed for about an hour, we had to sit on the freaking plane with no air-cond for an hour. Surprisingly we have to go through immigration check when we arrived in Barcelona, even though it should be consider as local flight within EU.
We stayed in Pension De La Plaza De Goya nearby Universitat. Pension, essentially cheap guesthouse occupying few floors on the building with virtually no signage, are quite common in Spain. If you want to look for it, make sure you check the building directory as there's usually no signage.
TIP: Barcelona airport bus pass though Plaza Espanya, Universitat and ends at Plaza Catalunya. All the 3 stops have metro connections. For accommodation, stay in pensions near any of the metro station. For metro, buy 1-day unlimited as most of the attractions are reachable by metro.
