Gaudi architecture is legit amazing and worth the wait and crowds. Didn't even have time to see the sagrada familia, just the hotel and the park. Then we had the worst meal of my life in a tourist trap resteraunt on las ramblas. Even including that, so worth it.
Jiufen, taiwan - the village that people falsely claim inspired miyazaki's spirited away - is also just incredible. The views, the winding lantern-bedecked staircase, the teahouses. It's crowded and full of touristy knick knacks but i still took everyone who visited.
Honestly La sagrada familia is my second favorite Gaudi work, the first one being La casa Batllo. Hope you get to see it next time, and if you do pick up either dawn or dusk, the light through the windows is awe inspiring. Also, yeah, the Rambla is mostly tourist traps, also every single restaurant around the park Güell is an extra nasty tourist trap. There are some good places nearby, but realistically you're probably better off eating at a Tapa Tapa (the McDonald's of tapas) than a random place at the Rambla.
The sagrada familia is really cool. I highly recommend people get a guide (either the audio version or a real one) because the amount of detail is overwhelming.
for me the best part was the museum below. the method of how it was designed is just as impressive as the (near) finished product.
