i have llamaya sim card (prepaid) .
lately it is giving me very bad reception especially when in the metro or trains.
what is bothering me is that it isn't always like that, bad reception just lasts few days or two weeks and then back to somewhat normal. every now and then i get periods of very bad reception and now i am fed up with them.

I am looking to switch to a company that provides good internet on the phone while commuting (i spend big chunk of my life commuting) so i am willing to spend on a contract or pay more if good coverage is guaranteed

also i am not sure but i heard that low cost sim cards and especially prepaid get poorer internet because they are given lower priority when there is congestion in the tower. can anyone confirm if this is true

I'm Portuguese living in Barcelona since 2024, I can understand pretty good Spanish but I have difficulties when speaking particularly with verbs conjugation and pronunciation.

I've made an online test and my level is C1, but I would like to improve my spoken skills.

I was searching and couldn't find so much information beside private full paid courses.

Anyone knows where i can find some free courses or at least with an affordable price?

Thanks in advance.

So at 8pm tonight there seemed to be a big cassolada (people hanging out the window hitting pots & pans). I haven't seen this since the time of the corona when they were applauding the health workers. What's it about this time, does anyone know?

Hello, I will be making my first trip to Barcelona on October 25. Not for football -- I'll be sightseeing in Eixemple. How challenging is it to get around by cab or Metro due to the football crowds? Gracies!
