Some of them you might guess them easily, some others might surprise you. Some of those can be done on your own, while others can be done in group. Some of those can be done to fight the scorching day heat, while others can take advantage of our lovely warm nights. And some of them mean partying while others are more family-friendly.<\/p>\n<p>For this list, we have excluded the visits to Barcelona\u2019s most famous sites such as Sagrada Familia, as those can be done at any time of the year, but that doesn\u2019t mean that these activities on the list can be done only in the summer.<br \/>\nIn any case, here is a group of summer activities in Barcelona that you just can\u2019t miss.<\/p>\n<h3>1.

Not the best night to sleep, but a great night to enjoy.<\/p>\n<h3>2.

The magic of a good bath in the sea.<\/p>\n<p>Nowadays there is a world-renowned association between Barcelona and the beach, but many don\u2019t know that this wasn\u2019t always the case: Before the Olympics of 1992, Barcelona\u2019s coast line was kind of hidden before rail tracks and surrounded by industrial areas, which led Barcelona citizens to look for beach areas outside the city.<\/p>\n<p>Almost 27 years later the situation has changed, with citizens claiming again beaches like Bogatell or Barcelona, the latter a favourite destination. Make sure to check all the available beaches within zone 1 of the metro &amp; commuter train area, many of them (Badalona or Montgat) are still quite unknown to the general public. If you want to explode further, make sure to check out the Garraf area or Sitges.<\/p>\n<h3>3. Visit Montjuic&#8217;s Magic Fountains<\/h3>\n<div id=\"attachment_23044\" style=\"width: 668px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-23044\" class=\"size-full wp-image-23044\" src=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/magic-fountain.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"658\" height=\"489\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/magic-fountain.jpg 658w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/magic-fountain-300x223.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 658px) 100vw, 658px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-23044\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Magic Fountain light show, image by Emilia Murray sourced from Flickr<\/p><\/div>\n<p>One of the best-known Summer activities in Barcelona is the show of the Montju\u00efc Fountains. An impressive array of water sprays that create a unique show of water, light and music, which can be witnessed for free but also enjoyed with a group.<\/p>\n<p>Inaugurated in 1929 for the Barcelona International Exposition, these fountains added music to the show in the 80s, and gained worldwide notoriety in 1988 for being one of the few places where Freddie Mercury and soprano Montserrat Caball\u00e9 performed their iconic song \u2018Barcelona\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>The magic fountains season actually starts before the summer and can be witnessed also in the early fall, but remains an icon of summer activities in Barcelona. Make sure to visit the Fountains\u2019 site to check the show hours, and think about having a walk in the delightful surrounding Montju\u00efc areas, like the Font del Gat or the Larival gardens.<\/p>\n<h3>4. Festes Majors de Poble Sec y Raval<\/h3>\n<div id=\"attachment_23049\" style=\"width: 1002px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-23049\" class=\"size-full wp-image-23049\" src=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/castellers.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"992\" height=\"558\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/castellers.jpg 924w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/castellers-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/castellers-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/castellers-816x459.jpg 816w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 992px) 100vw, 992px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-23049\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Castellers in Barcelona, Catalonia, imaged sourced from Bfmtv<\/p><\/div>\n<p>All neighborhoods in Barcelona have their \u201cfestes majors\u201d or local festivities, and Poble Sec and Raval are no exceptions. If we include both centric neighborhoods in the same entry it is because their festivities take place at the same time period (mid July) and are bothfocused on music, popular culture parades and celebrating a sense of community. Check out their agendas as you might also find fire parades or \u201ccastellers\u201d (human towers) exhibitions.<\/p>\n<h3>5. Human Tower Exhibitions: Castellers<\/h3>\n<p>One of the most visually impressive summer activities in Barcelona are the \u201ccastellers\u201d exhibitions, a tradition dating back to the mid 19th century, in which groups of people try to build the highest human towers ever done.<\/p>\n<p>Even though the \u201ccastellers\u201d season spreads from late winter to mid fall, there are plenty of opportunities of seeing these exhibitions in the summer, both in Barcelona and surrounding areas, so checking an agenda wouldn\u2019t be a bad choice, for instance in the \u201cFestes Majors\u201d of neighborhoods like Gr\u00e0cia, Sants or Poble Sec.<\/p>\n<p>A tradition that was inscribed in 2010 on the UNESCO\u2019s list of Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity, it is a must see, specially, if you are into photography. The most famous summer event when it comes to castells is Sant Felix, the exhibition linked to the local festivities of the town of Vilafranca del Pened\u00e8s, outside Barcelona.<\/p>\n<p>Taking place on august the 30th, this exhibition can last up to 4 hours and normally gathers the best \u201ccasteller\u201d groups all over Catalonia.<\/p>\n<h3>6. Outdoor Swimming Pools<\/h3>\n<div id=\"attachment_23053\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-23053\" class=\"size-full wp-image-23053\" src=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/piscina_municipal_de_montjuic_-_vista_general.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/piscina_municipal_de_montjuic_-_vista_general.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/piscina_municipal_de_montjuic_-_vista_general-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/piscina_municipal_de_montjuic_-_vista_general-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-23053\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Local pool in Montjuic, imaged sourced from Wikimedia Commons<\/p><\/div>\n<p>One of the most desired summer activities in Barcelona is having a good bath outdoors. If a packed beach is not your favourite option, Barcelona has many outdoor swimming pools available for everyone. Generally located in areas far from the city\u2019s downtown, like Montju\u00efc, Nou Barris or Sarri\u00e0, make sure to check out the one closest to you, to have a nice, non-salty and more or less quiet bath.<\/p>\n<p>Some of these swimming pools are not free and only a few of them take credit cards, make sure to check this out in advance as well, as well as their opening hours.<\/p>\n<h3>7. Festa Major de Gr\u00e0cia<\/h3>\n<div id=\"attachment_23057\" style=\"width: 770px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-23057\" class=\"size-full wp-image-23057\" src=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/gracia.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"760\" height=\"497\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/gracia.jpg 760w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/gracia-300x196.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) 100vw, 760px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-23057\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Gacia neighbourhood during the festival, image sourced from Devour Barcelona<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Probably the most famous \u201cfesta major\u201d of Barcelona, the neighbourhood of Gr\u00e0cia becomes the heart of the city during the second week of august. Gr\u00e0cia used to be an old village of its own, until it became part of the city in the late 19th century.<\/p>\n<p>This distinction can be seen easily in its streets, narrow and filled with low-rise buildings in contrast to the neighboring Eixample. This distinction becomes clear during their festa major, in which Gr\u00e0cia becomes a giant area of fun and color, thanks to a street decorations contest that has their neighbours working collectively months in advance in order to become the best decorated street.<\/p>\n<p>A celebration with day and nightime activities involving also music, kids activities and wine tastings, it\u2019s a real classic of summer activities in Barcelona.<\/p>\n<h3>8. Festa Major des Sants<\/h3>\n<p>If what you have just read about the \u201cfesta major\u201d in Gr\u00e0cia has sparked your interest but you won\u2019t be in the city until the following week (the third in august) then don\u2019t worry: That\u2019s when the neighbourhood of Sants celebrates its own \u201cFesta Major\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>If you don\u2019t know the city well enough you might just associate Sants with its central train station, but it\u2019s also an old area with an intense history.<\/p>\n<p>Most of the praises sang in the text about Gr\u00e0cia also apply here, including their own street decorations contest. Even if Sants\u2019 celebrations are not as popular, they are really enjoyable.<\/p>\n<h3>9. Open-Air Cinema<\/h3>\n<div id=\"attachment_23061\" style=\"width: 917px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-23061\" class=\"size-full wp-image-23061\" src=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/open-air.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"907\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/open-air.jpg 907w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/open-air-300x176.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/open-air-768x451.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/open-air-816x480.jpg 816w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 907px) 100vw, 907px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-23061\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Open-Air Cinema in Montjuic, image sourced from their website SalaMontjuic<\/p><\/div>\n<p>If you love watching films in the outdoors, Barcelona has many summer options for you. The most famous one is \u201cCinema a la Fresca\u201d at Montju\u00efc\u2019s former military castle, where every summer you can see many interesting films in a huge area along with hundreds of like-minded people.<\/p>\n<p>The feature films shown are usually preceded by a short live music concert and a short film. Also interesting is the \u201cGandules\u201d cycle at the main pation of the centric Centre de Cultura Contempor\u00e0nia (CCCB) or the \u201cCinema Lliure\u201d program at Barceloneta beach, being the only one that is free.<\/p>\n<p>If you don\u2019t understand Spanish, don\u2019t worry, as these three options show the English-speaking films in original language with Spanish subtitles.<\/p>\n<h3>10.

While Primavera Sound (the most famous one) might take place in spring, Barcelona\u2019s summer has many different options when it comes to music festivals: Sonar Festival in June \/ July, Cru\u00eflla festival in early July and Vida Festival right the following weekend.<\/p>\n<p>Sonar started as a small electronic and experimental event in the mid 90s, but now it is a world-famous festival of electronic music, experimental and also urban sounds, combining acts and DJs from all over the world with other art manifestations such as art installations.<\/p>\n<p>In 2019 the festival has moved its celebration from mid June to mid July because of a commercial fair, but the 2019 line up combines electronic classics like Underworld with more contemporary acts such as Bad Bunny, Asap Rocky or Skepta.<\/p>\n<p>Cru\u00eflla (Catalan word for \u201cCrossroads\u201d) aims to please a wider audience, and this year features a line up where Kylie Minogue and the Black Eyed Peas are the main stars, while Vida Festival has indie legends like The Charlatans and Madness as headliners. Vida festival takes place in the beach town of Vilanova I la Geltr\u00fa, 30 minutes away from Barcelona by train, but the festival and the town are well worth the visit.<br \/>\nMake sure to check the festivals respective sites to check the price of tickets.<\/p>\n<div id=\"disco-2187006066\" class=\"disco-amazon-box-2024 disco-entity-placement\"><div style=\"width: 100%; border: 2px solid lightgray; padding: 3% 6% 3% 3%; border-radius: 5px;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Planning a trip to Â鶹APP ?
