Newspapers and Magazines
You'll find British daily newspapers, USA Today and the International Herald Tribune on sale in Barcelona. Out of the city your choice is more limited, though you'll have no trouble finding something readable in the tourist resorts and provincial capitals. Barcelona Metropolitan is a magazine for English speakers living in Barcelona, but useful for visitors too. You can pick up a (free) copy from hotels, bars, cinemas showing English-language films and some Turismes. Other listings magazines available at kiosks are the weekly Guia del Ocio and the monthly Top Tips , both in Spanish/Catalan but easily deciphered. Of the Spanish papers the two best are the Barcelona edition of the liberal El Pais (Castilian) - the only one with much serious analysis or foreign news coverage, plus a daily listings section - and its rival, El Mundo , the Madrid-based sister paper of Britain's Guardian. La Vanguardia (Barcelona paper; Castilian) is conservative and a big local seller; El Periodico (Barcelona paper; Castilian) is a popular paper with big headlines and lots of photos, but also extensive coverage of proper news; Avui is the chief nationalist paper, printed in Catalan; El Diari de Barcelona is a liberal Catalan paper. In addition, there's a wide range of newspapers entirely devoted to sport. If you are looking for an apartment, job or anything secondhand, you should pick up the classifieds newspaper Primerama , which comes out on Mondays and Thursdays.
