Els4Gats used to be amazing - we first went there in the mid/late 80s when it was more locals than foreign tourists.
I still use my 4 Gats beer mug on special occasions!

OK, confession time: that is not my pad and not my mug - unfortunately - but I've got a mug just like it in my kitchen (which looks nothing like a late 19th century Catalan bar and restaurant).
Seriously though, if you are ever in Barcelona look in at Els4Gats - just off Las Ramblas. :thumbup:
Anyone interested in Barcelona during the Spanish War should do the Nick Lloyd walking tour.

It’s just wow. Helped by the stunning weather. Started with the compulsory open top bus tour, then have gone back to see individual sights. 24 hours in, 48 to go. Lap 2 tomorrow. Large beers, large portions, large prices.
Walked into an Irish pub (for a cool drink you understand) by check point Charlie and was served by a guy from Cardiff!
Also do the Stasi Prison museum (Hohenschonhausen - out in the suburbs), visit the Reichstag (make sure you go up into the dome), see Marx and Engels in the park, go up the TV Tower, and check out the Ramones Museum (really). And don't forget the site of the Fuhrer Bunker (now a car park). I loved Berlin - we were there for a week, and it wasn't long enough.
To counter all of the superb things about Berlin.
The negatives. The whole place is a building site, too many roadworks, too many traffic lights, resulting in massive traffic jams, graffiti everywhere, loads of litter and heaving with tourists.
On balance the positives outweigh the negatives thousand to one.
