Coming to Barcelona, one should consider understanding public transport, the rich cuisine, the living expenses, language barriers and finally, difficulties in finding a place to stay. Barcelona enjoys mild winters; it almost never snows, and warm summers, where temperatures rarely rise above 35 degrees centigrade. It is important to understand the politics of the Catalan Community. Citizens are very proud of their Catalan language and are seen striking several times a year for independence. Therefore, one should be careful when making any comments to others regarding Spain (or being Spanish), the civil war, or the independence of Catalonia.

Barcelona is an incredible city with art, music, history and culture aplenty. Although being the second-largest in Spain, the city itself is a metropolis of international communities. These range from all continents of the world. Being here really does open you up to a plethora of cultures and customs. Highlights of the year are the many open-air festivities of San Juan, La Merce and the fiesta mejores!
