Language first, then price
Most meditation teaching in Barcelona is in Spanish or Catalan, and that matters more than style: silent sitting translates, but instructions and the talk afterwards do not. Ask whether there is a session in English before going. Price models vary widely. Some groups charge nothing or ask for a donation, Buddhist centres often charge a modest fee for classes, and mindfulness courses and TM are paid up front. Evening sessions usually start around seven or eight, after the working day.
