Barcelona is Spain's second largest city, with a population of nearly two million people, and the capital of Catalonia. It is a major port on the northeastern Mediterranean coast of Spain. The many faces of Barcelona include the medieval Old Town, and the unique street grid resulting from 19th-century urban planning. The city has long sandy beaches and green parks on the hills, pretty much side-by-side. It is also famous for a number of prominent buildings, of which the most-known are by the architect Antoni Gaudí, including his Sagrada Família, which became Barcelona's symbol to many.

Why Barcelona?

The city has plenty of resources for trans folks and easier for expats to integrate into.

Why not Barcelona?

Barcelona is one of the most expensive cities in Spain. Expect to pay about €700-1100 for a studio and €1200+ for a 1-bedroom.

The city also attracts a high concentration of tourists.

Housing

Housing is very tight. Expect to monitor listing sites hourly in order to secure showings.
