 Here in the USA we have English first and welcome all other languages. Bi and trilingual education is so important but a common one is a necessity. Not only for safety but to compete for business and jobs.  Spanish should be taught to all and other languages infused in students education.  What a disservice to the kids in these other regions Catalonia and Basque areas.  They will never compete for jobs in a global market especially here in the US ,Central and South America etc.  I have been to these areas and find many simply racists. They need to get with a 21st century plan for the people and kids.  Here in New Jersey we have many schools and programs(Mandarin) popping up so our kids get compete in the Chines market.  Wake up basque and Catalan people

 I found it no different than the rest of Spain.  My trip to Spain was the cheapest part of my vacation.  Forget Italy and greece.  A big rip off.  This was my fourth time to Spain. In my opinion forget San Sebastian go to Santander. Same great food and beaches but in a friendlier environment. I say the same for Valencia. I will never go back to Barcelona.  I found Valencia much safer.  From what I saw alot less pick pocketers and shady people.
