Answer 1

It´s depends if you go on summer or winter. Summer is must better go to barcelona because the weather is prety and is near the sea. On winter you are going to find more things to do in madrid.

Answer 2

Barcelona, go to Via Julia on the yellow line. For a drink, friendly bars and you wont be riped off, as you will be in the tourist parts. Madrid if you fancy chilling out try Oseste Park. Get a Metro to Largo.

Answer 3

Maybe you can go to Madrid, because in Barcelona people speak in Catalan an maybe you dont undestand.

Answer 4

Barcelona - most visitors stay in or near the Ramblas or in the Gothic Quarter just to the east. This is a good base from where you can explore the city's sights by day including Gaudi's masterpiece, the unfinished Sagrada Família Cathedral, and Parc Güell in the north. Or maybe visit the 98,000 seater Nou Camp stadium the home of Barcelona football club. See http://www.spain4uk.co.uk/places/barcelo... for more details

Answer 5

Madrid-  awsome city....  

so much to do....

Chueqa has all the best bars and restuarants, coincidently it is the g*y district, so there are a lot of unpleasent sites, but look for a bar called, "el tigre"  its awsome!!! you order a beer and you get a plate of free food.... i go there almost every day....

all of these are worth seeing:

Plaze del Sol

Plaze de España

Retiro (central park of madrid)

Plaze de Cibeles

Las Ventas (bull fights every sunday)

Plaza Mayor

and for some clubs: i think the best club in the city is Kapital, it has 7 floors,  get there before 1:30, and entrance is 20€ and you get 2 free drinks.... (trust me its a good deal) plus the cocktails here are 70% alcohal 30% coke or juice....

so remember, El tigre, Kapital, awsome places, try to stay out of the irish bars, (i mean, why go to different country to see the same c**p you got at home?)
