My favorite thing about this city of Barcelona is a word.
"Tranquilo/a"
It is a very common word. And not just a word but a command.
It means, "Be calm."
You might ask a simple question to someone on the street or in a store or at the place where you reside, and their only response, "Tranquila."
I once asked the lady working at a deli if we should pay for our sandwiches before or after we ate them and, yes, her only response was that of "Tranquila." So we decided to pay after.
Calm. Be Calm. I like that.
