What To See in Barcelona?

What are the must see sites/locations/attractions while in Barcelona?  Keep in mind that my days will be spent at TechEd but I will have a fair bit of perhaps two days for some site seeing.

How much Spanish do I need to know? I've noticed some similarities to French so I hope I don't get too confused.  Did anyone see Mr. Bean's Holiday?  He went to Paris and was using oui for yes, non for no and Gracias for thank you.   What a hoot.

On that topic, I need to go see another movie again.  Perhaps this weekend.

So, back to Barcelona.  Help me find the best places to see while I am there.

Thanks

Gerry

  Absolute must see - La Sagrada Familia Cathedral designed by Antonio Gaudi - still being built since it was started.  Climb a spire as well for the experience!

  So, does that mean you are going as well Glenn?  Greg W. will also be there. Sounds like you've been there before.  :-) We should definitely hook up. Gerry
