About Barcelona
Over 300,000 expats already call Barcelona home, making it one of Europe's easiest cities for newcomers to land in. Beach, mountains, and world-class architecture are all within reach, and the food scene rivals any European capital. Be aware that Catalan is the primary language (not Spanish), housing has gotten very expensive, and the city has cracked down on tourist apartments.
