And don't forget the tapas!
When I went to La Sagrada Familia, I didn't take my own advice about not going up the spires, and after coming back down from on high I desperately needed to sit down for a while and stop shaking. We left the building from the end where the spires that you go up are, and sat down in a square behind the cathedral (not the square where the buses all drop off, the one at the other end). Once my legs had turned from jelly back to bone, we went to a small cafe which, if you stand and face the cathedral, is on the right hand side of the square. It looks like nothing special, just the Catalan equivalent of a greasy spoon, but it served the best Patatas Bravas and Tortilla that I have ever eaten. If you can find it from my description, I recommend that you go there to grab some lunch rather than to some overpriced glossy tourist trap.
