Movie Set Travel: Vicky Cristina Barcelona

One of our favorite bespectacled directors (Woody Allen) is back to the big screen this week with "Vicky Cristina Barcelona," a sensual romantic comedy about two girls on holiday in Spain for the summer who fall for the same guy (Javier Bardem).

The girls (Rebecca Hall and Scarlett Johansson) also don't realize that their love interest's ex-wife (Penelope Cruz) who, oh yeah, tried to stab him, isn't completely out of the picture yet. She arrives and decides maybe she knows what's best for him after all. And yes, there is one particularly racy scene involving Scarlett, Penelope and Javier, but we hear it's been talked up quite a bit more than it deserves.

"Vicky Cristina Barcelona" was not only shot in, but is a literal tribute to, Barcelona. Keep reading to check out some ideal stops there.
