Eat MDMA and party until noon on Sunday; very popular there.

Obviously la sagrada familia is the big attraction, and for good reason. It's one of my all time favorite sights. If Barca is in town, catch a match at Camp Nou. It's something to be seen! Barcelona is my all time favorite city with Lisbon being a close second. Spanish is not needed as everybody speaks English. Enjoy the seafood, shopping, architecture, and the many rooftop bars! I would HIGHLY suggest doing the tasting menu at "Tickets". One of my most memorable and fun meals ever...

The first site I seent there was a couple copulating on a balcony overlooking Las Rambla.
True story, but it improved. The Gaudi apartments (casa mila) were cool, and I'm not really into site-seeing.

Go see every place associated with Gaudi. All of them. From Casa Vicens to Sagrada de Familia. Just make your trip 8 days of Gaudi.

Get hammered at Chupitos Espit. The bartender will recommend all the shots. And enjoy all the tapas elsewhere.

Do a bike tour the first day to get a lay of the land. Definitely worth it.

Also, catalan is the first language spoken there. I would learn a few phrases in that. Obviously if you know Spanish well, you can communicate that way too, but knowing at least a little catalan can go a long way.
Huge party city also. Depending on your age and your company, partying all night long is a must.

Park Guell is a really cool place, as are all things associated with Gaudi
Montjuic castle is definitely worth checking out as well. It was not very long ago that it was still in use and it has a beautiful view of the city.
Do your research before choosing your hotel. It is a cheap city. We were able to get a 2 story suite with a private rooftop pool at a 4 star hotel for 100Euro/night, which was much better than a regular room at a 5 star.

There are definitely some hot naked chicks at the beach. There are some not hot naked chicks at the beach though. And when I went, every Spanish guy there had a 6 pack. The water is really nice though.
Some great bars. Stock market bar and there was a really cool shot bar and I don't even like shots. It's a very easy town to drink too much. Spain has the best themed bars I've seen.

Bull fight? Not necessarily the most distinguished activity, but that is something you won't find here in the US.

So are you going to share the name with us, or post any pics:

I don't know if you're a soccer fan but on my bucket list is a game at Camp Nou before Messi retires.

Sagrada familia takes all day, it's just that awesome
you must buy a separate ticket to go to the top
Also there is an underground part that's awesome
