If you have not already planned your trip you may want to take into account some of the special events that happen each year:
La Merce: celebrate the arrival of autumn with the locals as they celebrate their patron saint, the Virgin de la Merce. It is usually on or around the 24 th September with endless street parties and concerts all over the city. Take a look at our special edition newsletter for a taste of La Mercé… perhaps you will be tempted to join in the festivities next year!
Spanish Grand Prix: held just outside the city you can mix your visit with some fast paced motorsport and relaxing evenings soaking up Barcelona’s atmosphere in the winding city streets. Take a look at our apartments and book now to ensure you get great value accommodation for your stay!
Tennis: April sees the big names head to Barcelona for the Godo Open, sponsored by Sabadell Atlantico. Get your tickets and enjoy the game, then head to the city beach to cool off, or the shops for some retail therapy, or the museums for some culture….the list is endless!!
Sónar: With the rising costs of festivals in the UK, trips to foreign festivals are becoming a more viable option, especially as you are likely to be able to enjoy your favourite bands in the SUN! June sees Barcelona host Sónar, a festival of electronica music including techno, house, and hip hop. It never fails to attract the big names, past performers have included Beastie Boys, The Chemical Brothers, M.I.A and De la Soul. Listen out for 2009 confirmed dates then get in touch, we have some great value centrally located apartments that certainly beat a soggy tent in a field in Somerset!
