Yes, it is still nice here in BCN as usual, but as you are probably aware working here can be frustrating especially as a foreigner. Catalan is fairly easily learnable if you are fluent in spanish, and even easier if yo have french or portuguese aswell. Once again, good luck, and get in touch if you do move here, its always nice to meet people here in the same profession. Perhaps we can help each other in the future.
