The language in Barcelona

The official language in Barcelona is Català, it sounds like Spanish, but the language is different.

In Barcelona you can find almost everything in Català, but Spanish is also spoken. You can go to Barcelona speaking Spanish because everyone will understand you.
It's like... speaking English in Dublin, everyone will understand.

Can I speak English in Barcelona?

Many people ask this. Most people in Barcelona can understand English, as Barcelona is a touristic town, but in Spain not everyone knows English.

But of course in central locations such as restaurants and shops, many speak English.
Barcelona is ready for tourists, you don't need to worry.
