Barcelona is such a tourist cliché in Spain that it's a challenge to discover something new and different to do here! But all it takes is a little time and patience and you'll be pleasantly surprised to find that this city is much more than beaches, churches and seafood!

Drive a Ferrari: If you're an F1 enthusiast, here's a dream-chance to drive a real Ferrari round a real F1 race-track!

You can even arrange for a special drive with a professional race-driver, along the Spanish Grand Prix route outside Barcelona.

Spanish cooking classes: For foodies, cooking classes conducted by a professional chef in Barcelona would be a fun way to learn how to prepare authentic Spanish dishes like paella and also learn to make sangria, appreciate fine Spanish wines and put together some of the yummiest Spanish desserts. You can also learn the Catalan specialties like prawns in garlic soup and cherry ice-cream.

Get aMAZEd: For family fun, there's the Parc del Labirint near Horta, where you can lose yourself in the intricate maze built by the 18th century builder Bagutti. The theme park built around this maze is also a fun outing for the kids.

Learn Spanish: If you've got a few weeks in the country, it's worth signing up for conversational Spanish classes in one of the hundreds of language schools in Barcelona. This is also a great way to meet the locals and make friends.

Chocolate Massage: For a completely different experience, pamper yourself with a chocolate massage! If chocolate is not your choice, you can avail of sea-shell, olive or almond oil or a herbs and spices massage which will leave you refreshed and rejuvenated.

Skateboarding: Barcelona is the skateboarding hub of the world, with the MACBA (Museum of contemporary art) grounds serving as a picturesque venue for your skateboarding thrills! There is also a skating goods shop nearby.
