Glad that you emphasize it's Plaça del Sol, not Plaza del Sol or Square of the Sun

Is that that in the funny dialect they speak? Why do people waste their time with that? After all, they speak the first or second most spoken language in the world, why bother with a dying dialect?

Catalan is not a dialect of Spanish, if anything it would be a dialect of Occitan. And seeing how condescending are hurtful you are trying to be I suspect you already knew that.

It's the native language of ~5 million people. We learn it for the same reason Swedish people learn Swedish, Danish people learn Danish, etc. It's just the language we speak in our country.

There is already a de facto international language (which is not Spanish BTW), and we also learn it.
