I live in Barcelona. For me, it's the best city in the world and it's very prety. I can visit a lot of much citys and I think in Barcelona the climate is better than the nord of Europe. Barcelona is very big an there are much people. Normaly, they speak catalan, but all the people speak also spanish. Barcelona is in the coast and there are a beach. Barcelona have a nice port. The Port is the biggest in the Mediterranean sea. All the year there are a lot of cruisers and the people can visit the town.
The mediterranean diet is the best in the world (for me). I like very much try the diferents foods but here is very healthy. The price is cheappier than London, and it is better than the England food.
In Barcelona, the transport is very good. The people can take the bus, the metro, the car, the moto and the bicy but is not cheaper. I think is more expensive than other countrys. The transport in barcelona is more expensive than the south of spain but I think is cheappier than Paris or other conutrys.
Barcelona is near the Pirineos and you can go sky and also is near to the France. And in 5 hours you can go to Madrid. Madrid is the capital to Spain and is very beautiful but is better Barcelona.
