Every summer Mr. PaellaMan comes to Barcelona Dream Hostel, to cook great paellas for the travelers! The spanish dinner it's every tuesday and friday from 8pm. The ticket cost 10€ and you get: paella, one glass of sangria, pa amb tomaquet and icecream!! Don't miss it!!
Montjuic is the place to be this Saturday! Between 8pm and 2am, there will be a free (yes, free) music festival going on all over the park.
Well, really it’s acts from many festivals coming together in the iconic Montjuic park complex to give everyone an incredible night.
There will be acts from big-name festivals, such as Sonar and Primavera sound alongside lesser-known cultural gems like the Catalan percussion festival. For sure there’s something going on to please everybody!
Now, Montjuic’s a big place and the acts will take place across 13 different locations around the park. So that you know who’s playing , when and where, here’s a link to a map with all this helpful stuff on.
Now what more could you want? Live music, sampled from Barcelona’s finest festivals, showcased all around beautiful Montjuic at absolutely no cost. I’m sure I’ll see you there!
How to get there: The main entrance to Montjuic is from Plaza España, connected to the L1(red) and L3(green) metro lines. Alternatively, take the L2 or L3 to parallel, where there is a funicular to the top.
If you are around Barcelona the night of the 23rd go to the beach, and believe me you have never seen a party like this before. This is the night of Sant Joan, one the craziest nights in Barcelona. Tradition says that this is the shortest night of the year, when the spring is gone and the summer arrives. Bonfires and fireworks are all over, music and champany, all to celebrate that the summer is here and t it’s time to enjoy the sun at the Mediterranean sea side.
The plan it’s to get some drinks, go to the beach and let the spirit of Sant Joan do the rest. There is a legend that says that the night of Sant Joan you can see the sun dancing while is rising!!! It might be that the sun dance, or it can be la sangria, or the rum. If you find a bonfire write a wish on a paper and trough it inside to burn. Fire is the purifying element which liberates us from misfortune, so let your dreams become truth.
To get to the beach area from any of Be Hostels, it’s better to do it walking or by public transport. The metro will be running all night long.
Let us share Sant Joan with you! Let’s share our magic night! THE SUMMER IS HERE!

What a wonderful hostel it was. Private bathrooms and public ones...A free breakfast that reminds you of "home" and 5 minutes from a great beach that isn't too crowded. Will return if I'm back in Barcelona!!! [ + ]

Very good hostel, it's big, with different lounges. The cleanliness is almost perfect. The staff was great, fun and very helpful. The locker is also very good, with a card key. The only problem was the location, it's far from the center but there is a metro station right on the corner of the hostel, so you can get in every part of Barcelona in 20 minutes! [ + ]
