Barcelona: the tourist tax and the 2028 end of tourist flats, the airport ticket trap, the low-emission zone, Catalan for visitors, and where the city's sights are.
Gibraltar is a British Overseas Territory, not part of Andalucia. The land border controls were lifted in July 2026, the cars no longer cross the runway, and the cable car is shut for refurbishment.
