The Poble Español is a good reproduction of architectural styles throughout Spain. Since its been done in the 30ths, it actually looks quite "real". So you can wonder though Andalusian streets and sit in a Taverna which actually feel quite authentic. Definitely worth a visit, pan most of the day for it. Tip: if you reserve a table in one of the restaurants, you get free entry.
