Does this sentence make sense: He podido ver cosas que nunca hubiera visto en Inglaterra! I was trying to say: "I have been able to see things that I never would have in England"

Also, I tried to write 'For example, I have been to Park Guell and Casa Batllo, but the best thing has been climbing up the Montjuic. Here's my attempt: ''Por ejemplo he ido a la Park Güell y la Casa Batllo, pero lo mejor ha sido subir la Montjuïc.''

I know I have been a pain recently with all my silly questions, but I won't ask any more - you guys have been so helpful! Thanks again :D xx

To me the first looks okay with the caveat that technically it should be habría, but hubiera is often substituted in that situation. In the second I think you need to repeat the preposition "a" - "..y a la casa..." - bosquederoble, May 29, 2015
But I will leave it to someone more qualified to give you a formal answer. :) - bosquederoble, May 29, 2015
You're right about' a la casa de' Bosque. - annierats, May 29, 2015

The first sentence is totally correct, but supposing that there are any paragraph or sentence before, for example:

(Durante mi viaje a España) he podido ver cosas que nunca hubiera visto en Inglaterra

In the second sentence there are few small mistakes:

Por ejemplo, he ido al Parque Güell y a la casa Batllo, aunque lo mejor ha sido subir a Montjuic.

But as you know, I love to "rizar el rizo", so I make my own try:

En mi viaje a España, he podido ver cosas que nunca hubiera visto en Inglaterra, como por ejemplo el Parque Güell y la casa Batllo, aunque lo que más me ha gustado es subir a Monjuic.

He podido ver cosas que nunca hubiera visto en Inglaterra! Perfecto.

Also, I tried to write 'For example, I have been to Park Guell and Casa Batllo, but the best thing has been climbing up the Montjuic. Here's my attempt: ''Por ejemplo he ido a la Park Güell y la Casa Batllo, pero lo mejor ha sido subir la Montjuïc.''

Por ejemplo, fui al parque Güell.. pero el mejor momento fue lo de subir..

Note, I'm only a student and I'm glad you liked Barcelona. I don't know why you're worried about making questions?

Oh, I've asked quite a few in the past couple of days! And thank you for the second sentence - does that mean my sentence didn't make sense, as for the exam we have to have a section where we talk about a past experience using the perfect tense? - EffieE, May 30, 2015
If it doesn't that's okay, because I have used it in other places and the past is good too! :D - EffieE, May 30, 2015
Look at Txta's answer, he is using the tenses as you were asked to, I didn't know you were to write it in the perfect. It is perfectly understandable. - annierats, May 30, 2015
