Did you love or hate Barcelona after your first visit?

Walking, far distances?? 😅😅 sure you didn’t experienced Madrid or other cities in Latam. Not to mention the US suburbia-type cities or other big cities in Europe… I would say Barcelona is super walkable and not that of a big city at all

Barcelona is a spread out city?! Have you taken a look at population density across the different cities you're thinking about?

Some context about the ubers: there is an ongoing conflict between taxis and ubers. In a nutshell, because taxis have to pay a taxi licenses and ubers don't, taxis argue that ubers have no right to operate. There have been numerous strikes with taxis collapsing Barcelona. So, although I disagree, I understand that Ubers don't have a designed place in the airport.

I completely agree about the intersections. I remember thinking how incredibly inefficient they are. I don’t think I could ever live in Barcelona for that reason alone

Lack of cafe culture? Walking distance? Spread out city? hmmmm. Also the the octagon streets are to give more functionality/parking areas in whats the very condensed city.

I know it is too late for you, but I hear this - use the Aerobus when you leave the airport

I noticed the octagon streets today and thought I was the only one annoyed that it made my walks longer 😂

Good video but the gps is wrong. Downtown Barcelona is a club not the actual city's downtown with Plaça Catalunya as reference ;).

Hey ,,,, great video,,,I´m from Barcelona....I disagree about laking of Coffee places...there is a booming of cafes shops where you can seat and relax drinking your coffee,,,It is difficult no bumping one.... Anyway, you were kind when it comes to bad thinks about barcelona as you dint point pick pockets, dirty streets, traffic and others...

1. In the old days, there were horse carriages running in the city and the octagons were cut out so that the carriages could see each other and not crash. The core city is still old buildings and architecture only being renovated or repaired. It's in fact symbolic of the city map

It's always great to hear your perspective. Thanks for your reports!

I think Uber was banned in Barcelona until fairly recently, so that might explain why it's so hard to coordinate with them at the airport. But taxi rides from the airport to the city center have a fixed rate and it's around 30€, so I don't think it's going to be much more expensive than the Uber ride.

Sound like a great part of what you didn't like was because of going in the hot summer. We loved the place in April and found the beautiful detail on all the buildings to be outstanding. We used Welcome Pickups to get from airport to hotel and they were waiting for us right outside customs. I love your images of this fantastic place. Made me very nostalgic.

Please try Seville at some point! Curious to see your comparison to Barcelona - lived there many years ago.

LOVE, love, love that late night culture!

Did you use an air b and b? Our host is asking for a copy of the passports of all occupants. They said that it’s the city’s rule for a year now to register for air b and b

Great video ! But your end screen shows a video from Airbnb Cape Town. 🤕

Yo

I didn’t like it at all
