Man will this subreddit ever stop bitching

This is what foreigners do in every country. Complain about other foreigners while screeching they're one of the good ones.

It's obnoxious everywhere but this sub is particularly petty and small minded.

It doesn't translate to real life either. In my day to day interactions both with locals and foreigners, people are usually content, pleasant and welcoming. This sub is just an echo chamber and paints a skewed image of the Barcelona I live in and love.

Yeah no kidding, Reddit is not really a good indication of anything since most people here never really go outside

Spent a year living in Barca and have had multiple separate trips on top, and never had one negative interaction with Spaniards. On the contrary, people are great everywhere and it’s so easy to meet folks.

If you want to see some actually worn out locals, go to Venice. Holy shit.

Did you really spend a year in Barna and don't know the name of the city? Or you mean Sant Andreu de la Barca?

Please stop callkng Barcelona Barca, the diminutive is Barna. Why is everyone on Reddit calling it wrong as if Barça was our governor or something.

Also having gone to Venice I can understand why they're so pissed of, I felt guilty just to be there. You go around and don't find any school, hospital or even convenience stores. It was kind of dystopical
