Parc del Fòrum
Just outside of Diagonal Mar, along the coast, we find the Parc del Fòrum. This is not your typical park, nor a green zone. It was built for the 2004 Universal Forum of Cultures, a project that sought to contribute to the dialogue of cultural diversity, sustainable development and the conditions for peace. Currently, the Parc del Fòrum hosts many different events, from trade fairs to music festivals and other big-scale events, with a capacity of up to 65,000 people. In the park, you will also find the impressive photovoltaic panel, that serves as a symbol of Barcelona's dedication to the preservation of the environment. Visit the park's website here.
Primavera Sound
Primavera Sound is an international music festival that has taken place in Barcelona since 2001, celebrating its twentieth anniversary in 2020. A mixture of rock, pop and underground dance music makes it an experience not to be missed, and turns Barcelona into the capital of music for 5 days in a row. The extension of Primavera Sound is Primavera Club, an indoor version of the festival that takes place every autumn. Visit its website here.
