The main languages spoken here are Catalan, Spanish and English. You may also hear some Moroccan Arabic being spoken around the city, because there are many Moroccan immigrants that have moved to Spain.
The euro (€) is used here in Spain.
A bottle of water costs about two euros here. I usually get very happy when I find a water bottle for a euro though.
The best meal this week was a classic Arabic evening dish at one of my friend’s houses, called ashwa. It was basically vegetables and labneh (spreadable yoghurt, like cream cheese) with eggs, and it was really good. Sometimes it's the meals that require the least effort that really hit the spot.
