Language & Currency

Official language Catalan & Spanish Both are co-official. Catalan is widely spoken and cherished as the regional identity. English is highly spoken across tourist sectors, hotels, and main districts
Payments Euro (€) Credit and debit cards are standard and accepted for even the smallest purchases. Keep a little physical cash for small tips or buying quick bites at market stalls
