True. Don't waste your time trying to see flamenco in Barcelona. You will be in Catalonia. Go see how cava, the Spanish equal to champagne, is made at the Freixnet winery. The city has other great Spanish features such as the artists Picasso, Guadi and Dali. If you are a rock climber or if you want to see a natural/man made wonder, take a day trip to Monserrat. Save the flamenco shows for Andulucia.
