Even if you speak Spanish fluently, locals will begrudgingly respond in Spanish....then brush that interaction off due to lack of Catalan ability....as if everybody should be well versed in a language/culture that's irrelevant in 99.99999999% of the world.
Is the provincial language preference that strong there? Sad if learning Spanish means in Spain, limited to Castille y Leon alone, without getting an outsider penalty.
It really is, but you have enough tourists there to game foreigners. Local Catalan chicks ain't that hot anyways.
If you coincidentally meet a Spanish chick from parts of the country, game on as well.

Well, I live in NYC. Will I find Barcelona to be too similar? Since I'd be essentially limited to english-speaking tourists?
NYC is 20 times the city Barca is. Local spots have more character & personality as well.
