Barcelona in literature.
Any recommendations for a book that is Barcelona-centric in the way
that A Moveable Feast is to Paris and Strumpet City to Dublin and so on?
.....anything really.

Orwell's Homage to Catalonia is an obvious one - I enjoyed rereading that
in Barcelona a few years ago.

If you're looking for something more modern than, say, Orwell, then
you could do worse than "The Shadow of the Wind" by Carlos Ruis Zafon
There are some reader and critics' reviews of it here
