Welcome to 'Things to do in Barcelona' on this vibrant Friday, June 13, 2025 As we step into the heart of June, Barcelona is buzzing with energy, perfect weather, and a plethora of exciting events.

Today, the city is basking in warm sunshine with clear skies, setting the stage for an unforgettable day. Here’s a snapshot of what’s happening around town:

If you're a music enthusiast, you're in luck because today marks the second day of the Sónar festival, one of the world's premier electronic music and digital art events. Held at various Fira Barcelona stages and venues, Sónar features cutting-edge performances by artists like Nathy Peluso, Plastikman, Arca, and many more[3][5].

For those looking for a unique cultural experience, the traditional Barcelona festival of *L'ou com balla* (The Dancing Egg) might not be today, but it's just around the corner from June 19-22. However, you can still immerse yourself in local culture by visiting iconic sites like Park Güell or exploring the city's historical buildings[3].

In the evening, if you're up for some live music with a different vibe, check out the "We call it Jazz" event in Barcelona, offering a mix of classic and spontaneous improvisation[4].

On the local news front, Barcelona is always evolving. Keep an eye out for new restaurant openings, especially in the trendy El Born district. Public transit is also getting a boost with new bike-sharing initiatives and improved metro schedules.

For must-do activities today, consider visiting the famous La Boqueria Market for a taste of local cuisine, or take a stroll along La Rambla to soak in the city's vibrant atmosphere. If you're looking for something unique, try a sea kayaking trip on the Costa Brava or learn to cook paella in a traditional cooking class[2].

Here’s a local tip: To navigate like a true Barcelonan, use the city's efficient metro system, but don't forget to explore the hidden gems found in the narrow streets of the Gothic Quarter.

As we wrap up today’s adventures, tomorrow promises even more excitement. Billie Eilish will be performing at the Palau Sant Jordi on June 14 and 15, and the city is gearing up for the Festival Grec de Barcelona, which kicks off in late June. Tune in tomorrow for more updates and insider tips on how to make the most of your time in this incredible city.

Until then, ¡disfruta Barcelona
