Today was a travel day. I booked an inter-Spain flight from Jerez to BCN on Vueling. It was definaltey cheaper then doing the whole trip via Iberia. Key thing to keep in mind: all inter-Europe flights have tight luggage/weight restrictions. The fees are high, Vueling was 10 Euro/Kilo and this is considered one of the cheaper fees!
We checked in with the Tourist Office at the airport. Picked up some maps and caught a cab to City-22, a few minutes outside of the heart of Barcelona. In retrospect, I would highly recommend purchasing the transit card from the Tourist Office as well. (When we bought ours at the station later that night, it wouldn't take our credit cards and had to use cash.)
We stayed at the Holdiay Inn Express in City-22 and though it was clean and accomadating, the internet was not free. The business center had two computers and there was always kids checking facebook on it - so it was never available either!
Meanwhile, the evening was low-key. We hopped on the L4-Yellow line, Llacuna station (<5m walk from the hotel) and made it Palau de Musica, where we bought tickets for a concert for Monday night. We walked over to get dinner at a Mexican restaurant (yes, Mexican!) - Rosa Negra was the place and they had the best Mojitos I have ever tasted! Caught an outdoor performance for a few minutes (a dude in a bubble, playing the saxaphone) and called it an early night.
