Barcelona may have earned a reputation as anti-tourist, but the city still works hard to accommodate and encourage the flood of travelers that are the lifeblood of the city’s economy. In recent years, there has been a concerted effort to improve the city’s web offerings and make it easier for tourists (especially non-Spanish speakers) to get information.
A good example is the city’s Getting There site, which offers an easy-to-use route planner. You can plug in your destination, and the planner will offer the different transportation routes available, including the busses and metro. The site offers live traffic updates and includes cycling and walking routes, which gives you a clear idea of the options. (One tip I always share: Barcelona is on a hill; I like to take transportation up the hill and walk down the hill.)
You can find the route planner site here.
