People who like a big city atmosphere and would like to experience a modern Spanish cosmopolitan city will love Barcelona. The location of Barcelona next to the Mediterranean offers a nice climate all year around and there are always many interesting activities going on (big concerts, international sport matches, town festivities, etc).
The only negative point about Barcelona is that some people are reluctant to speak Spanish as Catalan is their first language. This can make it a bit difficult to get to know the local population but as Spanish is an official language everybody does speak Spanish.
Barcelona can be highly recommended for short-term studies (up to 3-4 months) and in combination with another location in Spain.
