Taxi drivers in Barcelona


“I must say, I've been to Barcelona and can speak some Spanish, that is Castellano, and have had unpleasant experiences with nationalist Catelunian cab drivers. They have tried to charge me more than I knew certain trips costed when I had made similar round trips with locals to whom Catelunian is a first language. So it's not unfounded.“

That's definitely not unique to Barcelona or even Catalonian nationalists, but very common all around the world: If you're a stranger, chances are, taxi drivers will not go the best route but a longer one so they can charge you more. No reason to put this in the Barcelona article.
