I want to party, have a blast, meet cool people, maybe hook up with some guys (I'm 23 yrl old female) go to bars and clubs, see some culture and sites, and go to the beach. Along those lines, Is Barcelona a good fit for that? and how is 6 days long enough to spend in Barcelona? and Whcih is better for that type of agenda, Spain or Italy? And waht about Ibiza, is that worth going to?? thanks!

@boletas de avion: Barcelona is a great place to visit as it is a truly lively city with a wide variety of entertainment and cultural events. Time is difficult to judge as it depends on how your travel. As for a contrast to Italy, both are superb countries but Barcelona is a fine choice if you visit one city.
