I had NO idea Barcelona was laid out like this. I mean, this is Paris density and impressiveness. I knew Barcelona was intense but this is an eye opener. Does anyone know if Madrid is similar looking? Is Madrid bigger or smaller than Barcelona in terms of density and scale?

I was in Barcelona for a few days 15 years ago - I was awed by how huge it felt. It compared easily with London, Paris, New York. It is truly a world class city and vastly under rated in my opinion. The center is huge and super dense. But I think the suburban belt is kind of thin, relative to other big European cities, which explains the relatively low metro population of ~6 million or so. Most of them are packed into a 10-sq mile area.
