I don’t speak Spanish, let alone Catalan – will that be OK?
Of course! Teresa and the local guides we work with all speak English. Their skills come in handy when we meet artisans and chefs who aren’t confident speaking English. When you’re exploring on your own, you’ll find that most city residents, especially shop owners and restaurant staff, also speak some English. We do think it adds to your fun to try out at least a few greetings in Spanish or Catalan. We provide travelers with some interesting history on the Catalan language and a portable English-Spanish-Catalan glossary of traveling words.
