Moved to Barcelona, any guidance?

Slovak from a 25k-person town, now living with 16 people in a Gràcia co-living

I'm in my early twenties, speaking 4 languages: Slovak, Czech, English, and basic German.

I'm open to any suggestions in food related stuff (markets, groceries, local restaurants) and good English bookstores.

Grateful for overall tips you picked up while here.

Libraries, work spots and cafes for digital nomads in Barcelona

Hey, I’m a digital nomad living in Barcelona, looking for good places to work from, experimenting with avoiding payed co-workings right now, more like great cafés / digital nomad spots with a great atmosphere to change place, as I can get easily distracted home by talking with one of mine 16 awesome housemates instead of working.

I’ve been here for about a month, and as I’ve said, I’ve tried working from home, but there are just too many distractions and “other things” to do there, so I work much better outside.

So far I’ve tried and liked places like Norrsken (especially the free lobby downstairs), combined with nearby Honest Greens on the beacfront for outdoor work sessions, Hidden Coffee, SandwiChez in Gràcia, and Itnig Café.

I’m mostly looking for free spots rather than paid coworkings, but open to all suggestions if the places are good.

Any recommendations, and are the places I tried good from your experience?

Best cafes and work spots for digital nomads in town?

I live in Gràcia, so nearby places are ideal, but I’m also happy to travel around the city since the public transport here is great and I have the needed buffer.

Any recommendations, and are my current places good from your experience?
