Going to Barcelona next week, and I know I'll have some free time to run around on my own. Anything worth checking out that's off the beaten path? I don't have my itinerary in front of me, but have a free afternoon or two to wonder around the city.
Also, it's my last day at my current job, and I'm bored out of my mind.

I was there for 2000 New Years celebration. Yes, I'm old.
I just stayed on and off Las Ramblas Street near the waterfront. Had a nice time seeing the sites in that region alone. Looking back I would have travelled outside of that region. Still, very pretty.

Sadly, there won't be any matches while I'm there. Not much of a sports guy, but I could definitely get into that if there was.
Any galleries (or areas with a bunch of galleries), design stuff, or random awesome things?
I get the feeling that once I'm done with the 'group activities' there won't be any problem finding fun things to get into, but it never hurts to have an idea.

i don't know of any actual galleries etc, but you will just 'fall into' the places in barcelona, it's a cultural paradise, just wander the backstreets off the ramblas and you'll find bars, restaurants, clubs and shops full of cool things and people. it really is a top place. theres a place called maxalot, which is a gallery and exhibition place, but was shut when i last went. http://www.maxalot.com
go and see gracia, a small suburb near the centre. u will love it. have fun

holy shit. you can't beat barcelona. except you may be out of luck during the afternoon when everyone's napping.
go to llacuna for amazing tromps through dingy fields with great art. go to ser lla, carrer ferlandina 39 in el raval for great music every night (chocked full of friendly people!)

Go to the wax meseum off La Ramblas, there is a alleyway shooting off the side with a crazy little bar made up like never never land complete with trees inside and a cave...kinda gimicky but cool atmosphere. Piccaso gallery is wicked as is all of Gaudis sites def get the audio tour at the Sagria La Familia and allow yourself at least 3hrs. The water front though it will be too cold to swim is cool for photography. Tapa's seem to be good everywhere. And there is a cool outdoor bar with low tables, shisha pipes and massive tables down at the maritime meseum that we stumbled upon.....eat, drink be damn merry!
