1. barselontsev - people leisurely. On their way of life, apparently, had a significant impact climate of this country - very warm, even hot. You can not make a fuss at the 30-degree heat, so the rush is not worth - a typical barselonets walks with measured steps, and at a meeting with friends - stops in the middle of the street and enter into a long lengthy dialogue on the theme "How are you».

2. In Barcelona, ​​a huge number of outdoor cafes, virtually every house is a couple of institutions. Serve them, mostly fast food - sandwiches, tapas, pizza, coffee and, necessarily, the wine.
