Some shops and restaurants may be closed during August in Barcelona as well. We just returned from Barcelona and I noticed signs posted at many establishments noting that they would be closed Aug 1-31. It should not hamper your ability to take in the wonderful sights of that city, however.

I second recommendations for using VRBO and TripAdvisor. We’ve had good luck with VRBO, most recently finding a great houseboat to rent in Amsterdam. In Barcelona, we stayed at a nice aparthotel that is part of a chain, but there may be less expensive options.
