Barcelona Trip in Sept/Oct 2008

Hello Non-Rev members,

My wife and I are planning a trip to Barcelona in Sept/Oct 2008. We are looking for some advice.

1. Are there any festivals or events worth attending at that time of year? Wine festival?

2. Can anyone recommend a fair priced hotel?

3. Are there any sites/locations that are a "must see" in or near Barcelona?

4. Can you recommend any online links to explore Barcelona?

5. If we go to Barritz/Hosegor in France, what transportation options do we have?

We are planning to fly from JFK direct to Barcelona on AA on a friends pass and would appreciate any help.

thanks in advance

Rodney
