1.When, where and for how long did you live or have you been living in Barcelona?

2.What made you move here?

I was 18, and I had to choose where I wanted to continue with my education, I guess of all places I mainly chose Barcelona because I managed to get into the University I wanted, that it is not that far from home (Mallorca), and also because it has the sea.
