Barcelona has many ways to be enjoyed in summer.
From neighborhood parties and exhibitions to outdoor electronic music, the city offers plans for all tastes.
If you're looking for what to do this weekend in Barcelona, we've selected three different options to break out of your routine and make the most of these last days of August.
1. 🎉 Sants Festival: streets full of life
From August 22nd to 30th, Barcelona celebrates the Sants Festival, one of the city's most popular and traditional celebrations.
During these days, the neighborhood is filled with concerts, fire runs, parades and activities for all ages.
But one of its biggest attractions is its decorated streets.
This year, 11 streets are participating, each with a different theme: from a science laboratory to a magical workshop full of giant cakes and chocolates, including decorations inspired by Hollywood or the movie Lorax.
It's a perfect plan to stroll through the neighborhood at a leisurely pace, discover the decorations, and enjoy the local atmosphere.

2. ⭐ Travel to the Star Wars universe
If you're a Star Wars fan, a stop at Passeig de Gràcia is a must.
Until September 18, Casa CUPRA hosts Rebels beyond the galaxy, a free exhibition that brings together one of the largest private Star Wars collections in Spain.
The exhibition includes original filming props, life-size figures, spaceships, and various objects collected since 1977.
And after visiting the exhibition you can take the opportunity to have a drink at Rev el Bar, within the same space.
A different plan for those who want to combine culture, entertainment and a bit of nostalgia.

🌆 Barcelona has many plans. Who will you share them with?
A city like Barcelona offers endless possibilities to go out and discover new things.
But there's something that can make any of these plans even better:
share it with people you just met.
Because a party can turn into a good story, an exhibition can end in an hours-long conversation, and a festival can be the beginning of a new friendship.
