There are quite a few differences between Murray and Barcelona. I will outline some of them.
Popular foods: In Murray, we eat burgers, hot dogs, pizza, and sandwiches. In Barcelona, it's sandwiches, fish, meat, and veggies. Ham, salami, tuna, and turkey are the favorite sandwiches. Popular drinks in Murray are 7-Up, Root beer, Coke, Pepsi, and Dr. Pepper. In Barcelona, they drink Coke, Fanta orange and lemon, coffee, and wine.
Tourist attractions:
Murray has 0, unless you count their basketball team. Barcelona attracts tourists to the Sagrada Familia, Parc Guell, La Pedrera, Torre Agbar, Magic Fountains, and many more. We have been to the Magic Fountains, but they weren't performing their magic (lighting up).
Popular sports: Murray enjoys playing basketball and football. In Barcelona, soccer is the sport. Their team, FC Barcelona, is as popular as the Yankees, the Cowboys, and the Celtics combined. The players for FC Barcelona get an average annual salary of $7million, more than any other sports team.
How much walking needed to do: In Murray, we walk out to the garage, hop in the car, and let it do the walking. In Barcelona, we let the subway, tram, and bus do all the walking. Well, actually, they only do some of the work. We walk to the store that's only a block away, and it wouldn't be worth taking a subway for that, and we walk to all the other places that are nearby.
Expenses: As Dad wrote about (Sticker Shock), whenever we've tried eating at American restaurants, the price has been pretty bad. In Barcelona, I've seen a can of soda cost anywhere from 1-3 euros. A stamp costs 50 cents in Murray, while in Barcelona, it's 80 cents.
Wealth of people: In Murray, practically everyone has a home and a car. In Barcelona, there are several people who sleep on the ground and people who beg or play an instrument for money.

I would say not too many people in Barcelona drink wine, maybe you're thinking about Paris. Barcelona drinks beer and whiskey.
