Having lived in both... Madrid

Barcelona is probably the better city for a visit but to live in it isn´t.

Catalans do not see themselves as Spanish. They have more in common with their N European neighbours France however this is not to say they are not nice people in their own right. I have just found them, on the whole, to be harder to intergrate with as they prefer to stick with other catalans. Those that I have become friends with it has taken time but are now some of my best friends.

Madrid is far more open and although friendships with people tend to be a little more shallow the volume more than makes up for this. The city itself is more historically and culturally rich than Barcelona but it doesn´t have the natural benefits of Barcelona, Skiing and Beach.

I chose Madrid as I am more of a People person than anything else but others would value more the cities amenities. I love Madrid and went so far as to put together a website about it.

Barcelona! To me this was one of the best countries I ever visited. You have a little bit of everything there - amazing & very unique architecture, great food, the beach, nightlife, Olympic stadium - I could go on and on...

Barcelona

Reasons:

Beaches
architecture
Culture
Las Ramblas
Catalan
Goya

Madrid is too metropolitan and it doesn't feel as much like "spain"

Barcelona for the reasons everyone else has explained. Now if you are a nitty bitty whiner and nationalism doesn´t fit into your premade mind bent on an old world order, you may have to consider Madrid. Some spaniards are against Barcelona and/or Catalonia having their own identity. But they have their own identity, that´s whats makes Barcelona/Catalonia such a multicultural place. Excellent!

I would prefer to live in Bar-tha-LO-na becauth Bar-tha-LO-na ith the capital of Cath-TEEL, and the Cath-TEEL-yans all thpeak with a lithp. I could lithen to it all day long and be entertained. I believe they adopted it thome thenturieth ago ath an affectation becauth they thought it thounded more cultured. Obviouthly, they were mithtaken.
