What’s On in Barcelona Autumn 2012

Autumn is always an event-ful time in Barcelona for concerts , exhibitions and shows so we’ve rounded up some of the best around town…

For 44 years Barcelona has played host to an increasingly popular annual jazz festival. This year the music gets going on 30^th October until 30^th November in venues across town. Once again, there is a great line-up with performances from the likes of Sonny Rollins, Melody Gardot, Samantha de Siena and the Buena Vista Social Club Orchestra. You need to buy individual tickets for each event – there is not one ticket that covers the whole event. Venues vary from the grand Palau de la Musica to small smoky bars like Jamboree and Harlem Jazz Club.

The Liceu Theatre offers some enticing opera and ballet in the run-up to Christmas including the Barber of Seville and The Nutcracker. For tickets go to

Japanese cooking is the star of this year’s edition of the Manga Fair which is moving to Barcelona for the first time. From 1st to 4th November, the Palau 2 of the Fira de Barcelona in Montjuïc will be the venue for this gathering, renowned in the world of Manga (Japanese comics) and anime (Japanese animation). The main reason why the fair has abandoned its usual venue in Hospitalet de Llobregat is the need to cater for the increasing number of visitors. For more information go to Manga festival Barcelona

10 years since his last performance here; Julio Iglesias is to perform in Barcelona May 19th!

Julio Iglesias performing here in Barcelona after 10 years….what a reason to visit this buzzing city! Snap up some tickets and book a short break in your diary; a time to relax and experience the music from the most popular latin singer from the ’70s and ’80s.

At 67 Julio Iglesias still remains something of a musical icon, successfully managing to spread his infectious ways throughout many international countries and impressing the crowds by performing live in many different languages. His talent and enthusiastic ways do not stop there; and with the raising of such a fantastic well known son, Enrique Iglesias (the world famous Spanish singer-songwriter), Julio has not taken the back seat; he still remains that well deserved icon he once was!

Here in Barcelona, May 19th, he is to be performing live at the Gran Teatre del Liceu and it really is set to be something of a grand performance. The excitement of seeing this fantastic performer combined with the sheer beauty of the chosen concert venue location; the famous opera house the Gran Teatre del Liceu that first opened its doors in April 1847 is something not to miss out on.

This venue is found along the famous tourist trap of ‘La Rambla’ in the cosmopolitan city of Barcelona and certainly deserves a visit. Combine this experience with an evening’s entertainment from Julio Iglesias and it is hard to justify that that is not a wining combination for a fantastic evening in Barcelona. To make the most of this evening and truly experience what it is like to have a performance of Julio Iglesias on your doorstep, why not stay in this 2 bedroom apartment that really is wonderfully decorated and will allow you to truly appreciate the Barcelona weather with its fantastic private terrace and is a mere stroll away from the Gran Teatre del Liceu…..Julio Iglesias within walking distance; what a way to enjoy Barcelona!
