Barcelona is the main city in Catalonia, an autonomous region located north east of Spain with a population of 7 million people.

Most of the UPC schools, departments and facilities are located in Barcelona, but there are some in close towns: Castelldefels, Manresa, Sant Cugat del Vallès, Terrassa and Vilanova i la Geltrú. All of them are very well connected through the wide network of public transportation available in the metropolitan area of Barcelona.

There are two official languages in Catalonia: Spanish and Catalan. Both of them share a common origin and they are spoken by almost everybody.
