Barcelona is one of the most popular cities among tourists from more than half the world. The good weather, the beach and nightlife are its main attractions; but there is also another Barcelona, in it you can enjoy exclusive experiences away from the crowd. On this occasion we show you different activities that you can attend in the city in the month of October.
- Beer Festival (October 14 – 16)
Barcelona Beer Festival is one of the biggest annual craft beer events in Spain. Visitors from all over the world come to the city every year for a unique beer experience. This three-day festival takes place in La Farga, a great activity and entertainment center in Barcelona. There will be more than 500 types of beer poured from 100 taps. Tickets are €7 per person if purchased online, or €8 if purchased at the gate. Visitors will also need a tasting glass, which is included in the ticket price (remember to bring it on all days of the festival).
- Jazz Festival (October 11 – December 28)
The Voll-Damm Barcelona Jazz Festival or Barcelona Jazz Festival is the oldest musical event in the city, currently celebrating its 53rd edition. Performances take place throughout the city in multiple locations, over several months. This year’s festival, which has already started, will be held until October 2022. In it you will find some of the best jazz musicians from around the country and the world.
- Halloween / Castanyada (October 31)
The Castanyada is a popular festival of the Catalan Countries, especially in Catalonia. It is celebrated on All Saints’ Day, although lately it is common to move its celebration to the eve of this festivity, the night of October 31. Like the Halloween of the Anglo-Saxon countries, the Catalan chestnut comes from an ancient funeral ritual party. It consists of a meal in which chestnuts, panellets, moniatos and candied fruit are eaten. The typical drink of the Castañada is muscat.
