Answer 1

I have been to Barcelona 3 times in the last year and found the people relatively friendly.  Only problem is that the rest of Spain do not think the same as they even speak a different language,  I have friends living in Spain and they would prefer to live in Madrid.They are more friendly towards people who speak Spanish.The city itself is beautiful.

Answer 2

According to my experience, they are very friendly. Barcelona is a great place, both because of her beauty itself and because of her people. I haven't been in Madrid yet, but I guess this city is also very nice, so I believe you will have a great time wherever you choose to go. But remember that Barcelona is at the coast and Madrid is not. So, if you like the sea, you know where to go!
