Summertime in Barcelona ✈️ Foro The Independent Traveller (English) ✈️

Barcelona is a thousand faces city: it is a collection of multi-faceted cultures and corners. It is a chameleonic city, which changes in every season. In summertime, Barcelona gets empty. The bustle of winter goes away and a mysterious calm seizes its streets, except the city centre which is always full of life. But don’t think you’ll get bored, quite the opposite! You will always find something to do in Barcelona and specially, in summertime. Every summer, the city offers a wide range of parties, festivals, concerts and exhibitions. Check out the `Festa Major´ in your neighbourhood, or the one in Gràcia – with such amazing decorations! Or maybe go to the beach and catch some rays... Then in September, a full week free party: La Mercé! Each summer, the city becomes a hub for the performing arts and music.
