Four days?! Blasphemy! ;-)
I lived there for about 6 months (back in '93) and have been back twice for a few days, and it's my single most favorite city in this world.

Be sure to visit la Boqueria, one of the world's great food markets, on Las Ramblas. Even if you don't buy anything, it is a wonderful playground of colours and smells.
