hether this is your first time in the Catalan capital or whether you consider Barcelona to be your sunnier home from home, there is always plenty to see and do here. Over 7.5 million visitors enjoy their own unique Barcelona experience every year. These include business trips, family holidays, friends taking a break together, romantic weekends, and countless more good reasons for listening to the enticing call of destination Barcelona.

The way you travel says a lot about you, and if you’re reading this magazine, chances are that you’re an independent traveller who has chosen to stay in a holiday apartment. Congratulations!

Only 1,7% of Barcelona’s apartments are used for tourist apartment rentals, so you are one of the privileged few who have chosen to experience the city just like a local.

Barcelona is a truly unique city, with spectacular architecture, Mediterranean beaches, worldclass sightseeing attractions and a strong cultural identity. We would like to accompany your Barcelona experience with a guide that

includes and also goes beyond the regular information offered to tourists. After all, you’re not just visiting Barcelona, you’re also living with us, in the apartment next door.

You’ll find some useful insights into the structures that make the city tick, from local regulations to the colour of the recycling bins and the characteristics of different beaches.

LOCAL MEET-UPS

BEACH VOLLEYBALL

TIPPING ETIQUETTE

Barcelona has a large international community.

Many informal get-togethers, groups and clubs meet each week, with everything from bar crawls to themed evenings and cultural visits. www.meetup.com/barcelona

It's sunny but not too hot, and the hordes of tourists haven't arrived yet. Scope out the volleyball sites along the seafront and get a pre-season edge on your game.

Bogatell beach has some nets, and you’ll find more near the W Hotel and towards Mar Bella.

A tip is always a good way of showing your appreciation for someone's services. Cover charges are included in all bills, but leaving anything from a couple of coins change in a bar to a larger tip after a good meal is always welcomed.

ARTICKET: 6 MUSEUMS & GALLERIES FOR LESS Gain complete access to the permanent and temporary collections of the CCCB, Museu Picasso, Fundació Miró, Fundació Tàpies, MACBA Museu d'Art Contemporani de Barcelona and Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya for just 30€, valid during 3 months. These discount cards are available directly from the museums or tourist offices around Barcelona. www.articketbcn.org

MUSIC FESTIVALS & CONCERTS Barcelona and music go hand in hand. Our epic summer festivals are internationally renowned; the big ones are Primavera Sound (31 May - 4 Jun), Sónar (15 - 17 Jun) and Cruïlla (7 - 9 July). Discounted early bird tickets are already available. However there are big acts coming all year round. Check our nightlife pages (p32 - 33) for this month's gigs.

HAVE YOU TRIED "ESCALIVADA" YET? Freshly made escalivada is a local specialty which melts in the mouth. It is made from smoke-grilled peppers, egg plant and onions which are mixed with olive oil and garlic and left to marinate and soak up the flavours. It is sometimes topped with anchovies and accompanied by crispy pa amb tomàquet, bread rubbed with fresh tomato and a drizzle of good quality olive oil. Delicious!

DISCOVER THE

BORN DISTRICT

Barri Gòtic BORN

As far back as Medieval times this neighbourhood has been a centre for trade and commerce. The cloth merchants and cotton traders are long gone; its narrow streets are now filled with all kinds of contemporary artisan shops and boutiques.

Artists’ workshops nestle between the cafés and shops in the back streets of the Born.

Pass next to the Basilica of Santa Maria del Mar, and peep into local artist Núria Duran’s atelier (Abaixadors 10). The Lomogaphy store (Rosic 3) has a funky display of pop snaps, and you can see Barcelona from a different angle through the distortion of a Lomography lens.

If the queues at the Picasso Museum (Montcada 15-23) are too painfully long, or if you’re after a different art experience, you could visit the Museu Europeu d'Art Modern (Barra de Ferro, 5). This is dedicated to sculpture and contemporary figurative art, and has an impressive permanent collection.

Gracia Latina is a cool, 100% authentic Cuban bar; all the staff are Cuban and their drinks are shaken up the Cuban way. They offer a great variety of cocktails, specialising of course in mojitos. The bar also offers something fun every day of the week and all completely free, including salsa classes where you can learn the steps and let your hips swing in true Latino style.

Montjuïc mountain is on the southern edge of Barcelona. The real gems are well hidden though. The first must-see stop is the gardens that hug the base of Montjuïc.

Here where the city limits end and the terrain steepens you will find the spectacular Jardins del Teatre Grec & Jardins de Joan Maragall. These secret gardens, as they should be known, offer water features, dazzling flowers, palms and an imposing view of the Palau Nacional.

The owner seems somewhat of a local celeb, and people are constantly popping in to say hello and grab a café con leche for just 1.50€, served in the homeliest mugs with a dusting of cinnamon. Jonny Aldana has a fully stocked bar and lots of tasty snacks to enjoy alongside your drinks. One of the best is their aubergine baba ghanoush, and there are also plenty more vegetarian and vegan dishes to chose from.

WOMEN: FICTIONS & REALITIES Exhibition

This investigation aims to draw attention a historical interference which is still present in the lives of women: the conflictive, awkward and complex relationship between the standard models of femininity spread by the popular media culture and actual reality. The exhibition offers a journey through some of the most iconic moments from the postwar period to the present, which provide evidence of the discomfort of women faced by the official narratives and elements used as propaganda to promote a reductionist model which restricted femininity and therefore also the freedom of women.

Spain's religious history comes alive during Easter.

Barcelona's festivities aren't nearly as dramatic as those of Seville and other cities, but a couple of local churches and religious brotherhoods hold processions. One is the “Nuestra Senora de las Angustias” organised by the church of Sant Jaume in C/ Ferran and the “Hermandad de la Macarena y la de Jesus del Gran Poder” from the church of Sant Agusti in Pl. de Sant Agusti 2, in the Raval area. Godparents traditionally give their little ones a chocolate treat known as a mona.

This is the only day of the year that visitors are invited into some parts of the building, making it a rare and unique opportunity to see its remarkable art and architecture.
