I'd second this. Almost everyone in professional circles speaks English in Barcelona. I would say on average Portugal has much better English penetration than Spain, but Barcelona is definitely an exception.
- jonathanstrange 8y ago> I would say on average Portugal has much better English penetration than the rest of Spain I'm sure it's just a slip of tongue but never ever say things like that in Portugal...
- severine 8y agoYeah, Portugal isn't part of Spain.

- katzenjam 8y agoI think the GP intended "the rest of Spain" to mean "Spain excluding Barcelona", rather than "Spain excluding Portugal". But I read it as "Spain excluding Portugal" the first time too.
- bogomipz 8y agoI think you need to read both sentences together. I believe the OP is just excluding Barcelona from the comparison of English speaking between the two countries.
