Creator's Key Takeaways

I have lived here for the better part of 14 years and working in tourism and with the channel I do have a better Insight onto what is going down

Barcelona is an amazing City one that I am proud to be able to call home that I absolutely love

I don't think you need to cancel that trip because of the protest but you do need to be aware that when you're visiting someone else's country someone else's home someone else's City you do have an effect on the people around you

what I want to talk about now is a little bit of an idea of things that you can do to make sure that you're not adding to the problem while you're here in Barcelona

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Travel out of peak season, such as February or March, to avoid crowds

✓Support the local economy by eating at local places and avoiding big chains

✓Do your research before visiting to understand the city and its culture

✓Respect locals by keeping voices down in residential areas and following local customs
