Moving to Barcelona
When moving to Barcelona, expats enjoy aspects of a major metropolis such as vibrant and unique business, a pulsating nightlife, and sprawling but unique neighbourhoods while retaining, throughout, the character of a traditionally Mediterranean city.The city's beautiful surroundings and cityscape make life appear paradisiacal in Barcelona. Yet while the city has these alluring aspects, relocating expats have difficulty making Barcelona their new home. Low wages, language barriers, schooling and high costs of life are all initial drawbacks to moving to Barcelona.
The city's architecture is indicative of its long and extremely unique history. Low and ornate Spanish influenced buildings are decorated between by skeletal structures of Gaudi and vie for attention with the ultra modernist downtown high rises. The push and pull between modern and old, Spanish and Catalan influences define the city in flux.
As Spain's second largest city and the capital of the autonomous region of Catalonia, Barcelona is a prominent city which is increasingly asserting itself in the world stage. Business can enjoy the city's new economy that betrays its image as an historic tourist destination. It now not only receives tourists and but also foreign businesses and relocating expats gladly in tow.
