Barcelona is hard to understand, but so easy to love! With this article we open the photo series "Faces of Barcelona". About the people that we meet in this city. Natives, emigrants, freaks, students and tourists - we collect their images and thoughts. Katya Avocado takes a few shots, and Katya Queso asks a single question: "What is Barcelona for you...?".
