The city
Barcelona in brief.
Gaudí is the reason many people come to Barcelona, and 2026 added a new one: the Sagrada Família finished the exterior of its central tower, 172.5 metres high. Around it the Eixample grid runs downhill, past the Modernista facades of Passeig de Gràcia, to the old town and the sea.
Much of Barcelona's calendar happens in the street. Books and roses fill the pavements for Sant Jordi on 23 April, Primavera Sound and Sónar make June the month for music, and La Mercè closes the summer in late September with human towers in Plaça de Sant Jaume and a fire run on Via Laietana.

What people come for.
Each is something to ask FJS Concierge about. The request opens with the subject and Barcelona already filled in, and is answered personally.
Culture
Gaudí and Modernisme
The Sagrada Família completed the exterior of its central Tower of Jesus Christ in 2026, at 172.5 metres, and Gaudí's Casa Batlló and La Pedrera stand on Passeig de Gràcia.
Culture
Festival June
Primavera Sound occupies Parc del Fòrum on the seafront in early June, and Sónar follows later in the month with electronic music, art and technology.

Clay at Pedralbes
The Barcelona Open Banc Sabadell, also known as the Trofeo Conde de Godó, is played each April on the clay courts of the Real Club de Tenis Barcelona-1899 in Pedralbes.

Market counters
La Boqueria on La Rambla and the Santa Caterina market in Ciutat Vella, under its undulating coloured roof, are working food markets where bar counters sit among the stalls.
