Here's a hint for you. Constant travel is exhausting if you have the backpacker mentality. One night here. Two nights there. 12 countries in 15 days. Who needs it? It's quantity over quality. Plus, you spend half your time on trains and buses. You're still young but as you get older you'll see the benefits of "slow travel". It's much better to see three cities in one month than eight cities in two weeks. You can actually start to feel what it's like to live there. When I travel to Colombia, which I do often, I'll spend one week each in Barranquilla, Popayan, Pereira. Two weeks each in the major cities, Bogota, Medellin, Cali. I feel so much better. And I feel like I really got to know each place. Some people travel even slower than that. One month in each city. In another ten years I'll probably be ready for that.

You really seem very clumsy using public transport. You have missed several trains that you had to take. They told you very clearly: R3 platform 1. You just had to look at the screen and you would know when your train was coming. I take that train every day and there are no problems.

What I don't understand is that you visit cities without first finding out about the most important places or how to get around the city. When you arrived in Barcelona you took like 2 trains + 1 metro + 2 buses when with just 1 train you could have arrived at the hotel in Mollet. That hotel may be very cheap but it is very far from Barcelona so you will lose a lot of time travelling. There are equally cheap hotels closer to the centre of Barcelona. I see that you are travelling very poorly informed.

As I commented on the previous video (I know that you upload this after the visit, but for others and for the next time you visit us, or anywhere else as systems are pretty similar). Mollet del Vallès is not in the city of Barcelona, it's a municipality in Vallès Oriental. It's a nice and pretty quiet place but less convenient if you want to visit the city. As with every big city the metro area has 311 municipalities and public transport is divided into 6 zones (and, with the exception of zone 1, each zone is divided to sub zones) so if you stay in zone 2 (zone 2D, to be exact) than you need a card that is good for journeys between 2 zones and you bought a 1 zone card as you told the worker who helped you that you are staying in Barcelona. For Gaudí, every building he did is unique but in order to see it you need to enter the buildings. Most of those buildings are pretty expensive but Palau Güell is much more affordable, as it's Managed by the city. The building is not very impressive from the outside but the inside is amazing. For the trains, there are many trains that uses this station so you might have missed it but there might have been a problem or they might have needed to divert it through a different tunnel. Apart for the main board you should always look at the next train sign that shows the train that is about to enter and the stops it serves. Mollet is also served by R2 and R2N (station Mollet-Sant Fost) that you catch at a different station (Passeig de Gracià). The station is a bit further away from where you stayed but it's more frequent. There are also night buses (N71) that also serves Mollet. The same cards can be used on all integrated transport means. Next time, if you're looking for a cheaper out of the city locations places like Sant Cugat or Molins de Rei that are similar to a place like Mollet with public transport to the city but, although in zone 2, you can use a one zone card.

Catalonia is not an occuped entity, its people have the same rights and liabilities as the rest of the spanish population. During history Catalonia was absorbed by sorrounding bigger kingdoms like always happens, but it was always integral and differentiated part of those. Nevertheless, it‘s not more occupied than the rest of the spanish territory is occupied by the central state.
