I have lived in Barcelona, and can speak Catalan. I would not hesitate to spend a month or two there over the others. I don’t speak Portuguese, but understand much if it, i do speak French and Spanish.

Barcelona wins hands down. Coolest place to spend a month, a season or even a year. I’ll be back there again next Tuesday night, in fact. Just for the day, for work, but I never tire of it.
