    Barcelona is pretty good for party and sun.
    I have been here sometimes, but except Gaudi and sun, this city is annoying.
    I going in Barcelona for the Mobile World Congress who are very interesting.
    Are you seriously comparing the architecture and cultural life of Barcelona and Milan ? I don't think you have a clue of what you are talking about as usual.

    Milan Is quite all concrete yes

    I ve voted it mainly for the language

    In the future it will improve based on the restyling with the New skyscrapers.


    For Miori: Passing the summers in Milan Is terrible. There Is not a sea there. Next time go to Riccione , Rimini or Milano Marittima where that a where all the milaneses go in summer.


    Milan Is Cosmopolitan and a true Chinese town too. There Is the china comunity wich Is big and important. Milan Is china and china Is Milan. It will be more and more in the future Because milaneses have the same industrial mind of chineses and same nihilism and sense of life. Milan Is liked indeed very much by chineses
    Because milaneses are chineses inside

    I've been to both cities and depends on what you're looking for: I'd go for Barcelona since it's way more fun.

    Thought Barcelona yes. Suffer Pickpocketism
    Why do they have the culture of Pickpicketing there?
    Balkan immigrants, mainly.

    Furthermore, there is no water in Milan, except for a miserable suburbian canal.

    If Milan was moved to the seashore and merged with Trieste or Genoa, well, it would equate Barcelona.
    Dont come to Spain anymore. Thanks.

    I was never on Milan or Barcelona. So I can't say.

    But I think Florence beats them all.

    And Lisbon is now on fire in terms of Tourism. Monuments and Weather. Perfect.

    I much prefer Milan, it is my right.
    I know the city, have rubbed off a property there.
    I spend my summer holidays in Milan during my childhood because my father work during this period on these financial interest there.
    The fact that the sea is not close does not bother me, as to whether during my childhood and now I have always lived by the sea / ocean, so without it the summer is not a problem.


    Barcelona never awaken interest in me, unlike Valencia I find most interesting.
    Barcelona is so overrun with tourists that summer anyway, it takes away some of the interest.
    That made two years in a row that I spend the summer holidays in Marbella, and I preferred this way rather than Barcelona.
    Barcelona, ​​I am going at the last Mobile World Congress, it is a dynamic city that sits on several sectors of the future, I do not deny its cultural wealth, economic and industrial.
    It's just that the feeling passes less than Milan.

    [IMG]http://www.robbedinbarcelona.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/two-pickpockets-robbing-
    Barcelona doesn't have a home grown culture of pickpocketing. It's mostly foreigners from poorer parts of Europe who arrive and work as teams. Spanish laws aren't harsh for petty crimes and so they naturally come to Barcelona and other cities tourists heavily visit in Spain to work their magic.
    http://www.newsweek.com/2015/03/06/h...es-309066.html

    Both the victims and the perpetrators of petty theft in Barcelona often have something in common: They’re not from here. That’s why Spain’s financial crisis hasn’t had the effect you might imagine on the city’s pickpocket problem. A bad economy doesn’t make these thieves more desperate; it just drives down the number of potential marks. The more well-off these tourists are, the more money they roll into town with, the more packed the boulevards.
    Half of Spanish prisons are full of foreigners and gypsy criminals. It would be much too high if the law came down hard on these people.

    Of course you have the right to have your preferences, you could even like more Essen for all I care. What is not matter of opinion is that Barcelona has much more architectural value and it's a much more lively city.

    Barcelona is so overrun with tourists that summer anyway, it takes away some of the interest.
    That made two years in a row that I spend the summer holidays in Marbella, and I preferred this way rather than Barcelona.
    Completely different environments, Marbella is a summer holiday city with no particular cultural/historical value but it's even more touristy than Barcelona so I don't get your point, altough i agree that mass tourism ruins the atmosphere of the places.
