 # Things to Do in Barcelona

Welcome back, listeners, to your ultimate guide for what's happening right here, right now in the magnificent city of Barcelona! Whether you're a local or just rolling into town, today is absolutely packed with energy, and I've got the inside scoop on what's going down.

Let's kick things off with what's happening in our beloved city today. We've got some seriously cool stuff lined up that'll satisfy every type of adventurer out there. First up, if you're into fitness and community vibes, there's a Girls Booty Workout plus Snack Meetup happening down at Moll de la Marina. Yes, you heard that right—combine your workout with some delicious snacks. Now that's what I call multitasking like a champion. Over at Espacio 88, there's a Gran Venta de Plantas, which is basically a massive plant sale for all you green-thumb enthusiasts out there. And speaking of culture, the Barcelona English Speakers are hosting their monthly meetup at D9 Aribau this evening from 8 PM, perfect if you want to connect with some fascinating humans from around the world.

If you're more of a night creature, we've got options galore. There's an IMPRFCTO Pub Quiz happening at Parallel if you fancy testing your brain cells against other trivia warriors. And for the electronic music aficionados, Blackchild is taking over Input High Fidelity Dance Club tonight with what I'm sure will be an absolutely banging set. Plus, there's a Sunday Social Event with live music and a happy hour happening at Cervecería Ogham—and here's the kicker, it's completely free!

Now, here's where things get genuinely exciting for Barcelona's cultural calendar. We're in the middle of Gaudí Year, celebrating a century since the legendary architect's passing in 1926. According to Catalan News, 2026 is absolutely massive for honoring this genius. This very weekend, specifically January 31st and February 1st, Casa Batlló is hosting a mind-bending projection mapping experience called Hidden Order on its iconic façade. It's created by United Visual Artists and it's basically art meeting technology in the most spectacular way possible. Plus, if you can swing it, immersive exhibitions like The Gaudí Code are running throughout the year, using virtual and augmented reality to blow your mind with previously unpublished research about Gaudí's creative universe.

Here's my insider tip that'll make you feel like a true local: while everyone's obsessing over the main attractions, slip away and check out some of Gaudí's lesser-known masterpieces. According to Catalan News, guided tours called The Unknown Gaudí are launching in spring, highlighting gems like the Güell Pavillions and Bellesguard Tower that most tourists completely miss. Trust me, these hidden treasures are where the real magic happens.

Looking ahead to tomorrow, Saturday is shaping up to be absolutely legendary with multiple events across music, theater, and nightlife, so you'll definitely want to tune back in for that breakdown.
