The city of Barcelona is referred to by locals as Barna when shortened, not Barca (A "barca" is a boat in both Spanish and Catalan).
Many tourists get it wrong as Barça (pronounced Barsa) is just the short name for the Football Club.
Calling Barcelona "Barça" is like calling New York City "Yankees".

Local: -"Barca is not a short term for Barcelona. The correct term is Barna or BCN, get it right."
