Wines in Spain

[daveflores]

I am just beginning my first semester in the School of Hard knock's Wines 101 course, and will be traveling to Barcelona, Spain in mid June. I am very interested in trying some of their best stuff (red preferably), but most of the travel books and magazines I read suggest only proper wines to match certain food. I am looking for the best red wine, native to Spain, (preferably in the Barcelona area) that I could enjoy while deamericanizing myself in a little bar in Las Ramblas. Any suggestions?
