Things to do in Barcelona in June<\/h1>\n

High season is on its rise and you’ll have plenty of things to do in Barcelona in June<\/strong>! Such as discovering festivals or modernist hot spots! Spending the month of June in Barcelona is simply the best! Read on and find out some of the best things to do in Barcelona in June<\/strong>! <\/p>\n

The most recent modernist must-see<\/h4>\n

\"Things<\/p>\n

Very close to the Sagrada Familia<\/i><\/strong> there is a modernist spot that was reopened this winter. So, among all the things to do in Barcelona in June<\/strong> you must discover Hospital de Sant Pau<\/i><\/strong>, St. Paul’s Hospital<\/i> before the big tourist crowd does. How come is this must-see is hospital? <\/p>\n

Yes, it is, but it is a modernist hospital designed with the idea that patients would heal sooner in a beautiful environment. Hospital de Sant Pau<\/i><\/strong> has always been there but after its restoration we, Barcelonians, have the chance of recovering it as a cultural space. <\/p>\n

The original building was designed by Llu\u00eds Dom\u00e8nech i Muntaner, the same man behind the Palau de la M\u00fasica<\/i><\/strong>, Casa Lle\u00f3 Morera<\/i><\/strong> or the building where we now can find the Fundaci\u00f3 T\u00e0pies<\/i><\/strong>. This hospital gets more popular year after year! There are probably going to have really long lines to see Sant Pau<\/i><\/strong> in its splendor. But June still is the best month to go and see it, before the summer peak season, during July and August! <\/p>\n

The other modernist must see<\/h4>\n

Casa Batll\u00f3<\/i><\/strong> by Antoni Gaud\u00ed became a modernist masterpiece because it had a rival to beat: Casa Ametller<\/i><\/strong> by Puig i Cadafalch, just next to it. So here is one of your things to do in Barcelona in June<\/strong>: go inside Casa Ametller<\/i><\/strong>, which has been re-oponed to the public in 2015. <\/p>\n

This building is one of the three that forms the Golden Apple of Discordy<\/i>, which is a metaphorical competition to see which house was the most beautiful in the Eixample, and its rooms have remained almost untouched for more than a century. Entrances include a guide and cost 25 \u20ac per adult person and will give a unique insight on the lifestyle of the catalan bourgeoise during the late 1800’s and the early 1900’s.<\/p>\n

Be on fire with Sant Joan<\/h4>\n

Of course, one of the things to do in Barcelona in June<\/strong> is to join the local celebration of Sant Joan (Saint John). The origin of this tradition is related with the pagan summer solstice and the 24th of June is a national holiday. <\/p>\n

However, the great party, verbena<\/i> or revetlla<\/i> happens on the night of the 23th because, as the legend says, it’s the shortest night of the year. That’s why we all want to spend this night partying by the beach having some drinks, dancing around big bonfires (fogueres<\/i>) and celebrating with all kinds of firecrackers!<\/p>\n
