Moving to Barcelona

Barcelona combines beach, mountains and one of Europe's strongest tech ecosystems. Catalan is co-official with Spanish; both are used in schools and public life.

Language

Public schools teach primarily in Catalan. Adults get free Catalan classes through the Consorci per a la Normalització Lingüística.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to learn Catalan?

Not immediately, but it opens doors — especially for public-sector jobs and school-age children.
