Finally, it’s time to bid farewell to winter and welcome the much-anticipated spring mood. Barcelona is one of the best places to find exciting plans this season.
The city truly shines during this time of year. Here are some suggestions to enjoy springtime in the Catalan capital.
Are you into cultural activities, casual strolls, or attending festivals with great music? No matter your preference, keep reading to find the perfect plan to rediscover Barcelona from a fresh perspective this spring.
Explore Barcelona’s Parks
Your first must-do is to take a walk or organize a picnic in one of the city’s parks: La Ciutadella, Montjuïc Mountain, Jardins de Pedralbes, and of course, Parc Güell are some of our top recommendations.
During this time of year, you’ll find many locals and visitors enjoying some time outdoors in these parks. In Ciutadella, you’ll see people lounging on the grass with a good book, having a drink with friends, or celebrating with snacks and finger foods.
If you’re into sports, you can also go for a run or engage in other activities in these parks, making the most of the good weather.
If you’re already an Aticcoliver, remember that our friends at FitPack organize weekly training sessions in Ciutadella, which you can join at a reduced rate as a benefit of being part of the community.
Soak Up Vitamin D at the Beach
Before summer arrives and the metropolitan beaches get crowded, it’s a great time to visit the beach in a more relaxed mode to recharge your batteries and vitamins after a long winter.
Aticco Living’s various locations are well-connected to the beaches via public transport, so you have no excuse not to enjoy a vermouth by the sea!
The Night of the Museums
As every year, Barcelona joins the celebrations for International Museum Day by organizing the Night of the Museums. On the night of Saturday, May 14, numerous museums and cultural facilities will open their doors for free. They do so in a festive environment with unique activities for you to discover these spaces and have fun with friends.
To access some of the most iconic buildings, a prior reservation is necessary, so we recommend keeping an eye on the initiative’s website.
Cirque du Soleil
For cultural enthusiasts, don’t miss the Cirque du Soleil’s show ‘Luzia,’ in Barcelona until May 15.
Luzia is a performance inspired by the people, places, and stories of Mexico. You can find more information or get your tickets here.
Music Festivals
If music is more your thing, you’re in luck. Barcelona is home to numerous festivals during this time of year: pop, electronic, indie… no matter your style, there’s a festival for you.
The iconic Primavera Sound, Sónar, and Cruïlla are some of the festivals happening in Barcelona between June and July. If you’re willing to venture slightly outside the city, nearby towns offer other options like the Vida Festival in Vilanova i la Geltrú or Rock Fest in Santa Coloma de Gramanet.
The Night of San Juan
Finally, as we wrap up spring plans in Barcelona and welcome summer 2022, the Mediterranean culture ensures we say goodbye to this vibrant time of year with a bang. On the night of June 23, we celebrate the shortest night of the year, Nit de Sant Joan. On this magical night, we gather on the beaches to enjoy a spectacular celebration with fireworks and traditional bonfires.
Common belief holds that fire and flames ward off any evil during this summer solstice night. Therefore, you’ll find bonfires not only on the beach but in many other parts of the city.
It’s undoubtedly one of the most beautiful nights in Barcelona.
Thinking of living in Barcelona for a while? We invite you to learn about the Aticco Living experience, where you’ll have the opportunity to live with like-minded individuals and enjoy the best plans in Barcelona this spring.
