Looked like a beautiful and highly civilized European capital even then, with the added advantage of ethnic homogeneity.

Madrid is a nice city but Barcellona is better ( bad aspect of Barcellona is the tourist... too many ).

I have been the first time in Barcellona in 1981 ( and then in 1982 and 1988 and 1992 and 1996 and 2000 and 2004 and 2008 and 2012 ) and it was already a nice big city.. .. but with no beach or very small.. So i decided to achieve Valencia area to enjoy the seaside..and to visit internal countryside..

I will go to Barcellona when Sagrada Familia will be "finished"..

I know both cities (Madrid and Barcelona), and I liked Barcelona a lot. But I like Madrid a bit more.

Don't forget that Madrid is an "inferno" in the summer.. while Barecellona temperature is much lower...Culturally and geographically speaking Barcellona has more chance to win a competition with Madrid..( that is another nice and great city )

Si tiene muchos inmigrantes, pero gracias a dios no esta en los niveles que Paris o Londres. Ademas, muchos de los inmigrantes no Europeos en Madrid son gente de paises sudamericanos (Colombianos, Ecuatorianos, Peruanos, Argentinos, Chilenos), y algunos Chinos. Igual aun sigue siendo en gran mayoria poblada por Españoles etnicos.

En Barcelona me dio la impresion de que hay mas negros y Nor-Africanos comparada con madrid, y eso no me gusto. Esa es una de las razones (no la unica) por la que Madrid me gusta un poco mas que Barcelona. Aunque tambien Barcelona esta mucho menos llena de inmigrantes que Paris o Londres, afortunadamente.

Barcelona pronto se perderá

In 2016 about 59% of the inhabitants of the city were born in Catalonia and 18.5% coming from the rest of the country. In addition to that, 22.5% of the population was born outside of Spain, a proportion which has more than doubled since 2001 and more than quintupled since 1996 when it was 8.6% respectively 3.9%.^[70]
