Hi Frank,

This is a great blog. You´re building a travel encyclopedia on Barcelona and Catalunya.

Only the information on the Barcelona Card is a bit out of date. For example:

- Picasso Museum - not included anymore
- Sagrada Familia - 1 euro off
- Colònia Güell/Cripta Gaudí - 15% off
- El Poble Espanyol - 25% off

Here´s the list of all the discounts (PDF).

Also, you can buy the card cheaper on barcelonacard.org. On this site you get 20% discount, while Barcelona Turisme only gives 10% discount for buying online.

Thanks and keep up the good work!
