Barcelona

The Black Madonna. The scenery around that place is amazing.
La Sagrada Familia. Yes its popular with tourists, but for good reason. Pretty much all Gaudi stuff is worth a look and this is his work.
I don't remember seeing any coffee shops like Amsterdam.

Just be warned, keep your shit close to you in touristy/crowded areas. Especially Las Ramblas (the main touristy market street that sells tacky crap). Pickpockets be everywhere.

In response to your actual question though... take a walk up to the big castle on the hill (dunno what it's called). Really nice way to kill half a day without spending any money (unless you go inside the castle bit, I dunno what it's like inside because I'm a cheap bastard)

Not coffee shops in the Amsterdam sense, as far as I understand it there are legal 'cannabis clubs' which can grow a small amount for consumption of members. I have heard that you can join up for a fee (like 20 eur) but they aren't advertised like AMS. Best bet it to find a local who is a member (not sure how, I lucked out as my airBnB host was one).
Also, some locals would prefer to speak to you in English or Catalan rather than Castillian.

The park next to guell has a better look out and is free.
Go to Arabia club 20 euro sign up, mostly for tourists but it's chill it's close to arc de triumph.
Go to never mind to drink, or anywhere in raval, make hostel friends and drink at arc de triumph or somewhere chill

>Can't wait to visit and try my spanish!

You won't.

When I stopped people to ask for directions in Spanish, they would look at me offended and reply that they speak Catalan not Spanish

As a Spanish speaker that has lived 5 years in Barcelona, I urge you to stop making shit up.

I'm going to Barcelona with the family next week.

Will I need Cash/Euros in hand, or is paying cards usually fine?

>Will I need to have local currency if I'm going to travel abroad?
IDK mate, what do you think

>>1276638
Paying card = mastercard / Visa / etc.

Buying weed legally requires you to jump through a few hurdles. You have to sign up for a cannabis club, usually with some kind of sponsor. The three times I passed through Barcelona, I couldn't get it coordinated.

What I would recommend is that you go to the strip of nightclubs near the beach. (Club Opium, Club Shoko, Pacha, Catwalk, etc.) Once you get in that general area, several people will openly approach you selling every drug you could think of. Usually Middle Eastern guys. I've never found drugs so easily in a country.
