PHOTOGRAPHY What to photograph: Modernista buildings, colourful markets, busy street scenes, the Ramblas, the waterfront and sweeping city views from Montjuïc and Tibidabo.
When to photograph: the Spanish summer sun can be powerful at the height of the day, making photos taken at this time appear 'flat'; it is best to photograph in the early morning or late evening.
Where to buy film: film and camera batteries are readily available from specialist shops and drouguerías.
WHEN DEPARTING Remember to contact the airport on the day before leaving to ensure the flight details are unchanged.
Spanish customs officials are usually polite and normally willing to negotiate.
