Las Islas Balearas--Great Islands with either a party atmosphere of nature atmosphere depending on which one you go to.

thanks, that sounds cool. I think I wouldn't mind the possibility of a party one day and a nature walk the other.

if you're going to be staying in Barcelona, Tarragona which is a very small city, is just a short train ride south. It depends what you want to do, but the scenery from the train is gorgeous and the town itself, while it's a little boring 'cause it's small, has an odd charm. It's very sleepy and quiet if you want to get away from cities.

Hey Machito...I visited a little village called PortBou in 1992 and took my wife and kids there last year. Sipping sangria at the beach bar (Antonio's) all day.
They have a nice hotel and two hostales. I can send you a couple pix later tonight if you want. Real close to Barcelona. Right on the border.

Mallorca!!
It's an hour flight from Barcelona, it cost me $100 round trip. The Balearic Islands are absolutely breathtaking, and they've got the largest night club in Europe (I didn't make it there).
Rent a nice little convertible (I rented a Fiat Barchetta - slick little car) and drive up the coast of the Med, enjoy the cappuccino in the morning and some sangria for the sunset. You can see 90% of it in one day, if you don't stop too many places. I'd advise checking out some of the local towns,though. Great stuff. My #1 pick for Europe travel.http://www.mallorcaonline.com/ma…
Enjoy!!

Las Ramblas is great but BE ON YOUR GUARD. Search the PV-AN for some scary Ramblas stories...mine included.

Lloret de Mar!
well not recommended as you got wife and kids, but it's a great place to drink, party and get laid.Anyway, Ibiza is famous for it's clubs, I guess you'll need a lot of bucks though.
