APRIL IN BARCELONA

There is something about April in Barcelona that is simply refreshing. The city’s energy becomes softer and people spend even more time outside. This is the perfect time to enjoy the city at an easy pace and enjoy the calm atmosphere of the spring before summer arrives.

?? SAN JORDI

Whether you are single or in a relationship, Sant Jordi, on the 23rd of April, is a beautiful day to celebrate love in whatever shape or form. Traditionally on this day, women receive a rose from their loved ones and men receive a book, however, nowadays people all have their own way of celebrating this day. It is beautiful to have a walk around the city, with buildings such as Casa Batlló covered in roses. Even if you do not feel like participating in this tradition, it is still very nice to have a walk around the city and get an idea of this part of Catalan culture.

?? FERIA DE ABRIL

Feria de Abril?(also “Fair of April”) is a fair that takes place every year. The idea of the fair is to start off the Spring season in a celebratory and exciting way, bringing together Catalan and Andalusian cultures.?This year, the fair takes place from the 26th of April until the fifth of May at “el Fòrum.”

The fair includes horse dressage demonstrations, bullfights, music and dance performances, and human towers. Even though the fair originates from Seville, Catalan culture is very much so instilled in this festivity as well.

?? BARCELONA TENNIS OPEN

This year will be the 71st edition of the Barcelona Tennis Open. From the 13th until the 21st of April, the best tennis players in the world will meet here in Barcelona to face each other on the field.
