Just a quick note:

Barça is the name given to the Barcelona Futbol Club.

Barcelona is also called Barna.

Hi chez 123

You said ",one person even said to me why Madrid?how can you answer that?Log on Madridmans message board was the only answer i could give"

Well you could also say:
It has 3 of the world's best art galleries (you can't say the best - how do you compare the Louvre or the National Gallery with the Prado?)Loads of museums.
It has perhaps the wildest nightlife in Europe...Almost a 24 hour city (in fact you can always find places open). Whatever music or dance you're into, you have a good chance of finding it here...
You can eat the best food from around Spain and also from the Latin world. Fish and seafood are almost always available... and if you like steak you absolutely MUST eat Argentinian.
The most successful football team ever has its home ground here...
Fascinating historic cities a short journey away (Segovia, Toledo, CHinchon, Avila, El Escorial)
Plus good wine at very reasonable prices. And free aperitivos with your drinks in loadsa bars..

But yes, unless you have stayed here, it is very hard to realte to people how good it is....
...just don't say you're coming for the warm weather...it's cold here in winter!!!
