In the city itself the larger parks are worth a visit. As in my posts above, I find Parc de la Ciutadella to be productive for birds, especially at times of migration. Gaudi's Parc Guell is also as good or better for birds, especially along the paths in the wooded area up the hill at the back. A walk along the harbour at Port Vell sometimes reveals interesting water birds. I do much of my birdwatching in Barcelona in the morning, as it is both hotter and (probably) more busy in the afternoons. Also, in the afternoons and evenings there is that wonderful cuisine to enjoy!Around La Sagrada Familia there is the chance of seeing peregrine falcons, always spectacular.Allen</blockquote>
