I’ve not been to the real Barcelona, so I can’t say if this sim is similar to the real deal or not, but I can tell you that it’s gorgeous, very well designed, appealing to the eye, and a great place to hang out in general and meet folks. It’s good if you know a bit of Spanish as there are many Spanish-speaking people around. It offers a cozy cafe to share a latte with friends or to have a dance. There are assorted shops and art galleries. And in addition to the city feel, the edges are beach covered and offer sights to see, boating interactive activities, and more hang out spaces. The music is a soothing Latin station, good for chatting with friends or dancing.
Here’s a tip…do visit sims that have a majority of non-English speaking residents. Don’t be afraid! It’s a wonderful way to experience another culture without a passport or even leaving your home. There are translation devices easily found in SL, many of them free. There is a bit of a learning curve, but it’s well worth it. Its a terrific way to learn a foreign language or practice your rusty skills in a language you are semi-literate in. I’ve had many non-English speaking friends do this very thing in order to practice their English and I’ve seen them become remarkably proficient by the exercise and rather quickly too! Overall, it’s a great way to expand your world and your skills while having a great time.
