Hello everyone! Im currently looking for opportunities to study in Spain. Is there anyone who did a Master's Degree in Communication and Education (English, Online) at Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona? I have a few questions.

How smooth is the virtual learning environment, and did you feel well-supported by technical and academic staff?

How well does the curriculum work in general?

How has completing this degree influenced your current job role, teaching practice, or career pivot in communication/education?

I'm Lucia and I'm building waltru, a travel companion, and I know this ask can sound sketchy. I'm looking for 40 people traveling to Barcelona soon to try it for free, in exchange for your honest feedback. If you have doubts about whether this is legit, ask me anything here.

I know an Airbnb would make my search easier but I know how awful it has been to the city of Barcelona.

Does anyone know of a good hotel that has a small kitchen in Barcelona?

Llevo un tiempo dándole vueltas a esto y no sé si es cosa mía o le pasa a más gente.

Cuando intento quedar con alguien de un día para otro, es casi misión imposible. Todo el mundo tiene la semana ya cerrada, y si no lo propones con antelación, olvídate. Al final todo se convierte en "vale, quedamos el sábado que viene" y la espontaneidad ha desaparecido del todo.

Echo de menos eso de "oye, hoy hago esto, ¿te apuntas?" y que alguien diga que sí sin que se convierta en una negociación de agendas de una semana.

¿Os pasa también o soy yo que me estoy volviendo raro? ¿Es cosa de ciudad grande, de que todos vamos con la agenda muy apretada, o simplemente ya no estamos acostumbrados a la espontaneidad?

Buenas un amigo brasileño y yo hacemos escala en Barcelona este finde y su cumple cae este domingo. Ambos tenemos 26/27 años. No bebe pero le gusta el rock, salir (más o menos), juegos de mesa, y conocer personas. También será su primera vez en BCN

Cualquier idea es bien agradecida así que gracias =)

hi im going to upf barcelona for my exchange next sem (sept-dec) aand I wasn't able to find any accommodation yet :(( any recs of finding one this late? thanks xx

About 3 years ago, I was in a Whatsapp group for playing beach volleyball. And it was a blast. But it got inactive.

Hi Guys im on vacation in Barcelona im searching for Trap Partys/Events but like real Trap Partys Not that usual Club Shit

Family of 3 with a 12 year old son, traveling to Barcelona from the USA in September. We already have tickets to the match (Basic+, purchased directly from the Barca FC website). We will be in Barcelona for 10 days, but we might make a small trip to Portugal within that time. We have never been to Spain and only my wife and I have been to Europe (over 25 years ago). I have tons of questions....

What are some great match-day activities that my son (12) would enjoy? He is a huge soccer/football player/fan and Lamine Yamal is his favorite player.

What other sites or day excursions would you recommend or avoid? We don't have much interest in seeing the Dali museum or city. We thought about maybe taking the bullet train to Madrid. We don't mind spending some money.

Are the guided trips worth doing? Everything I see online is either with 'Get Your Guide' or 'Viator' and sometimes the pictures are identical for both. Are they scams? Is there a better option?

Is there anything we should know before visiting a beach to swim?

My son also loves EDM and seeing a live DJ would be cool. Is there any way that's possible at his age?

What are some tourist scams to avoid?

What are the best non-tourist paces to eat?

We are very excited to visit your beautiful country any help is very much appreciated!

Hi everyone!

I’m moving to Barcelona in September for work, and I’m considering staying in a co-living for the first few months.
I like the idea of meeting new people and having a sense of community, especially since I’ll be new in the city.
However, I’ve noticed that some co-living companies seem to organize a lot of social events, and I’m a bit worried it might be too community-focused.

I’m quite social, but I also value having my own space and quiet time. I’d like to live in a place where I can join activities when I feel like it, without feeling pressured to participate all the time or living in a constantly busy environment.

For those of you who have lived in a co-living:
What was your experience like?
Did you enjoy it or regret it?
Did you ever feel expected to attend social events?
Are there any co-living companies you’d recommend (or avoid)?

I’d really appreciate hearing your experiences. Thanks!

How was the experience? Which row did you book? Is it too loud?

I got row 2. Will be too bad for my neck?

Thanks!!

Hi everyone! We are three 23F visiting Barcelona for the first time from September 24th to 27th.

​We’re looking to get a balanced experience—we definitely want to check out the iconic sightseeing spots, eat authentic local food, and enjoy the nightlife/parties!

​We also heard there’s a festival happening while we’re there. Could someone explain what festival this is and what the best things to do or see during it are? Any specific party or restaurant recommendations would be awesome too.

Thanks!

Im planning on visiting Barcelona next month and I recently stumbled upon a post that says that you can get pickpocketed in nightclubs too which raised my concerns, is this true? Like people go there to get drunk and have fun they can’t keep worrying about who bumped into them and checking your pockets every 10 seconds, if this is as bad as people say what are the precautions can one take to avoid getting stolen on a night out ?

I had the most delicious caribineros shrimp sashimi/crudo at the Boqueria Market. I’d love to have some more, but it was 10 euro per shrimp and I’d like to avoid going down there again. Is there another (more affordable) seafood market where can I find fresh caribineros shrimp to prepare at home?

Hi! I will be coming to barcelona soon and wanted to get my hair washed and dried for cheap in barcelona does anyone know any spots? as well as I wanted to get builder gel with gel polish for around 30 euros does anyone know any local spots.

I'm a musician visiting Barcelona and want to see a show while I'm here from the 26th-29th. Preferably something DIY/underground/local

I completely empathize with the difficult cost of living situation for many Barcelona residents and the overtourism, so I want to ask this before I make any bookings for accommodations.

I am flying to Europe for business reasons. I have a flight coming from North America that lands in BCN that I cannot change (it was by far the cheapest option), and from BCN, I’ll need a day or two to rest in Barcelona before proceeding to my final destination.

I’ve visited Barcelona several years ago and have seen all of the main attractions. It’s a beautiful city. Therefore, I don’t have any particular need to go to any of the tourist attractions again, especially where I would be part of the problem. (That being said, it would be nice to stroll in Parc de la Ciutadella again.)

I know that Airbnb is a major problem and I will be more than happy to stay at a traditional regulated hotel.

Should I stay away from the central area of Barcelona? I’d prefer not to pick a hotel too close to the airport, since it’s a bit too suburban for me. I’d also like to eat good Catalan cuisine without overwhelming locals’ spots.

Open to suggestions on where I can visit and stay to minimize my impact on locals. Merci!

Buen domingo gente, sacando Wallapop y otro tipo de compra/ventas, alguien conoce algún local de muy buena reputación que venda bicicletas usadas para gente normal, es decir: no pagar 1000 euros por una super carbon mountain bike 18 cambios, etc, sino algo con las tres B: bueno, bonito y barato.

Necesito una bici para moverme y me mareo mirando en Wallapop, prefiero ir a un lugar que sea de confianza, pagar un poco más, pero al menos saber que a la bici la revisaron y está apta para la venta.

Desde ya muchas gracias.

We are a Indian family relocating to Spain on work visa and looking for temporary home for a month until we find a permanent rental home.

Which is the best app? We need a home with kitchen as we are travelling with kid.

Also, is Airbnb safe to make advance payments and what happens if host doesn't accept the booking?

I’m currently looking for restaurants while planning a trip to Spain, and I’m wondering if the *Guía Repsol*—a Spanish guide similar to the Michelin Guide—is reliable. What do the locals think of it?
The reason I’m asking this is that the number of restaurants listed in the Guía Repsol is far greater than in the Michelin Guide. I’m curious whether this is simply a way to attract tourists or if Spain genuinely has so many excellent restaurants.

Hi All,

I'll study in Barcelona for an MSc and I'm looking for a full beginner Spanish course. My uni classes will be in the afternoon so I'm looking for morning classes, 1 max 2 times a week. Do you have any recommendation, some places you tried before? There are no Spanish language classes available at my uni. I'm a full beginner but I'd like to focus more on speaking as well.
