Train Yourself
Barcelona has so many great museums you might find it difficult to choose from them all. The most well-liked are the art museums of Dal, Picasso and Mir, as well as Barcelonas modern art museum, the MACBA. If art isn't your cup of tea, then what about the interesting Cosmo Caixa science museum, or even the camp NOU football museum and stadium tour?
discover The Mediterranean
If you want to explore the secrets of the sea and dive into the Mediterranean without getting wet then the Barcelona aquarium is the place to do it. Wonder over the 450 different species of sea life, wave at the sharks thru the glass tunnel or if youre feeling brave then take a swim with them.

shop Till You Drop
Barcelona is a sufficiency of name brands, little shops and high-street chains ; so if its a new wardrobe your after, then you have definitely come to the right town. To avoid spoiling your new purchases in the rain head to one of Barcelona's indoor shopping centers.
Lilla is found on the Diagonal and this centre is full of restaurants so you can make a day of it and enjoy a leisurely lunch after a tough mornings shopping.
Diagonal Mar features a wide selection of shops, restaurants, a hyper market and even a bowling street which is another great rainy day activity.
You need to take the metro to La Maquinista as its a little bit further from the centre. Here you will find the Apple store as well as many other big name shops.
Nearly all shops are closed on Sundays in Barcelona, aside from the Maremagnum shopping centre. So if you are flying home on Sun. night and cannot remember to get a gift for your friend, then head down to the port area at the end of Las Ramblas for a last minute splurge.
Buff Up On Your movie Data
There are a massive choice of theatres all over Barcelona but if you Spanish talents arent up to much then dont worry. Keep an eye open for V.O and V.O.S which mean the films are shown in their original language version with Spanish or Catalan subtitles. Most titles aren't literal translations so it may be worth checking out the films preview image on the web so you know what's what. You don't want to look at Lord of the rings for the third time do you? The Alexis, Cines Verdis, the Renoir chain, Icaria-Yelmo ( down by the beach ) and Imax are the main theatres offering the most recent releases in their original language.
Of course if you're determined to adhere to your original plans then just grab an umbrella and don't let the rain spoil a single thing!
