  • Welcome to 'Things to Do in Barcelona' on this vibrant Saturday, March 1st, 2025 As you step into this beautiful city, you're greeted by mild spring weather, with temperatures hovering around 17°C and a gentle breeze carrying the scent of blooming flowers. The air quality is crisp, making it a perfect day to explore all that Barcelona has to offer.

    Today, the city is buzzing with a variety of events that cater to all interests. If you're a art enthusiast, don't miss the immersive Goya Exhibition at the Amatller Art Center, where you can delve into the world of Francisco de Goya through spectacular immersive rooms and virtual reality experiences.

    For music lovers, the Barcelona Candlelight concerts are a must-attend. These concerts, held in several iconic and charming spaces around the city, offer a serene and enchanting experience with different musical styles performed by candlelight.

    Families and those with a sweet tooth should head to the Gràcia neighborhood for the Sant Medir Festival, celebrated on March 3rd but with preparations and festivities beginning today. This unique festival involves a pilgrimage on horseback where participants throw thousands of kilos of sweets into the streets, creating a fun and lively atmosphere for all.

    In the evening, consider attending the MERITA Concert and Networking Event, although the main concert is scheduled for March 14th, the networking event on March 13th sets the stage for what's to come. This event at the European Commission Representation in Barcelona features institutional speeches, testimonials, and a musical performance by the Akela Quartet, blending classical music with mindfulness.

    On the local front, Barcelona is gearing up for several significant anniversaries this year, including the 30th anniversary of the MACBA (Museum of Contemporary Art Barcelona) and the 50th anniversary of the Fundació Joan Miró. These celebrations promise a year filled with unique exhibitions and cultural events.

    For a must-do activity today, venture to the Teatre Grec, a hidden gem nestled in the Montjuïc area. This ancient Greek amphitheater, surrounded by nature and beautiful gardens, is the perfect spot to disconnect and enjoy some tranquility. Alternatively, visit the Bunkers del Carmel for panoramic views of the city, especially stunning during sunset.

    Here’s a local tip: If you're looking for a unique nightlife experience, head to El Jardí Bar in the Raval district. Tucked away in a library and academic institution, this bar offers a chilled-out atmosphere with a literal garden inside and affordable drinks.

    As the day comes to a close, look forward to tomorrow's events, including the final preparations for the Sant Medir Festival and the anticipation of more cultural and musical experiences that Barcelona has in store.
