Welcome, listeners, to Things to Do in Barcelona, coming to you on this lively Sunday, November 9th, 2025! Toss on your sunglasses and loosen your shoelaces, because the city’s vibe today is nothing short of electric. The weather’s holding up its Mediterranean reputation—think cool breezes with an extra dash of autumn sun, so you can stroll the Ramblas without fear of melting like a gelato.
Barcelona is pulsing with action thanks to a flurry of events across the city. If you're all about live music, let's talk records: according to Catalan News, Barcelona has smashed attendance highs this year, with nearly six million fans grooving at concerts and festivals. That energy is everywhere, from mega-venues to alleys where indie beats rattle the cobblestones.
Today, whether your fancy is family, festival, or full-throttle nightlife, you’re spoiled for choice:
The ACADEMY FEST VI fires up at Carrer d'Ausiàs Marc, 8, at 4 pm—a carnival of eclectic music and wild performances that's pure Barcelona spirit.
For a dose of cinematic adventure, slide into Cinemes Girona this afternoon for Sessió de llargmetratge: Kinra, where you can swap popcorn for plot twists and rub elbows with film buffs.
Tango fans, don’t miss the grand finale of the Barcelona Tango Experience wrapping up today. It’s been swirling through the city since the 5th, with maestros and newbies blending for footwork that would make Messi jealous.
Later tonight, catch Guaco at Razzmatazz with their legendary Latin fusion. If your groove needs a harder edge, City Hall transforms at night for Tekno by Teuf Culture—a ravey, underground ritual known for the kind of laser-light freedom Barcelona’s nightlife is famous for.
If digital art makes your heart race faster than the metro, the MIRA Festival’s just wrapped up its audiovisual extravaganza at Fira Montjuïc, but whispers on Twitter hint that surprise installations might linger through the week. Keep your camera handy!
Barcelona’s not just event-crazy—there’s buzz in the local news too. FC Barcelona President Joan Laporta, as reported by Morocco World News, is planning a mega-tribute for Lionel Messi at the soon-to-open Spotify Camp Nou. Football royalty meets futuristic stadium tech—now that’s an unveiling you’ll want to keep your eyes on.
Restaurant hounds, the city’s Eixample district is seeing new eateries pop up faster than you can say “patatas bravas.” Locals swear by the new craft tapas joint on Carrer de Mallorca for a post-event snack, and city forums are abuzz with praise.
City transit is running smoothly, with extra metro service for tonight’s concerts so nobody’s left waiting under the neon—at least, not for long.
For must-do's, channel your inner explorer at Parc Güell or take a lazy stroll through El Born. You haven’t properly discovered Barcelona until you’ve nursed a cortado on a sunlit terrace or found the hidden courtyard gardens tucked behind medieval walls. For families or anyone dodging crowds, Montjuïc’s cable cars promise unbeatable city views with zero legwork.
Pro tip from yours truly: locals hardly ever say “Las Ramblas”—they just call it “la Rambla.” It’s one street, not five, so don’t let the plural fool you. And if you’re asked about “sobremesa,” float elegantly between dessert and conversation; it’s the art of lingering at the table, and you’ll be living the true Catalan life.
As for tomorrow, get ready for Todo a 1€! Especial Rave Market at Nau Bostik, the kind of funky flea where treasure hunters and vintage fans live out their wildest dreams. Plus, the concert scene’s still popping with The Loved Ones at Aclam Club, so the party doesn’t stop when Sunday sets.
