Lived there for the past six months, I loved it! Pros: Amazing public transit, fast and cheap (€8 for the month as a resident). Great food culture, also inexpensive. Very walkable city w/ such pretty streets. Many museums and art galleries and other community art spaces all over (old industrial complexes turned into small, free museums). Fantastic public parks (some massive ones right in the city center) The list could go on.
Cons: None that I can think of. Well, you should be able to speak Spanish…

i didn't love when i visited tbh! i felt it lacked the energy that i found in barcelona which is probably more my speed. I was also pretty surprised very few people spoke English but in the way that it would be cool to learn spanish just to get around...also the first city i came in contact with bed bugs lol <3 never forget... <3 the city does have some beautiful landscaping going on along with public gardens perfect for a little siesta

went to a cinema club - this is what it's all about. community is real! even in the city! it's not all over. i watched natural enemies and boxing helena with my friend and ally charlie. the first was awesome, the second was less so - but arguably more fun. sherilyn fenn is not a star, she is something else entirely.

The kirkland brand athletic socks from Costco are my go to. Super thick, wore them daily for seven years before they had a hole. Refuse to die, and perfect for boots.
