Barcelona has nothing to do in terms of modern music with the rest of Catalonia, which is at the same time radically different than Spanish scene. I think every place has its own peculiarities, but nowadays the main differences are between big cities and, let's say, the rest. Barcelona is similar to Madrid, similar to Bilbao, to Paris, London and Berlin.
I want to explain my feelings regarding the new bike sharing system we have in Barcelona. Just 5 months (or so) ago, the city started suplying bike stations, covering a big area in the city, where you (for a small annual fee: 24 €) can pick any available bike and ride towards your destination. The first ½ hour is free, and after that you start paying 30 cents per additional ½ hour.
