From Tapas we compile the best plans with which to enjoy the most of the weekend in Barcelona, and relegate ourselves to hedonism between cultural and gastronomic experiences, parties, events and museums. Take the agenda and take note of our weekly proposal.
FRIDAY 6
We will start the weekend in musical key with the concert of Sofía Gabanna. The Argentine rapper living in Barcelona will take the stage of the Razzmatazz 3 club with her ‘SIDERAL TOUR‘, the first studio album with which she will make her hypnotic verses sing in unison to all her audience.
One of the most promising talents of the current rap scene, who has taken his music to stages in Spain, Mexico or Argentina, will activate at 8pm the show of his national tour in which he will sing songs like ‘Tasmania’, ‘Kamikaze’ or ‘Una vez más’. Get your pass here.
After the concert, we will enjoy the signature dishes and natural wines of Bar El Pepino. This is already a classic bar-restaurant in the city, located in the neighborhood of Gràcia, where you can drink organic wines from around the world selected by Gianluca, accompanied by the Mediterranean dishes of its chef Jaume.
Its successful proposal, based on the product and seasonality, includes its iconic ‘coscoletta a la milanesa’ that reinvents the classic milanesa. This and many other Mediterranean-inspired dishes are served in a cozy and pleasant space.
SATURDAY 7
On Saturday we will sit at one of the tables of SOMA, the design restaurant with a bar from the 80s and a Parisian-style terrace. There we will share a series of Italian-Catalan tapas prepared by chef Daniele Giuletti, such as his mussels stuffed with ricotta and tomato confit, his ‘sucarrat’ risotto cookies or his shrimp carpaccio with almond sauce.
In the afternoon we will visit another of the mythical buildings of the city, the MACBA to discover the new solo exhibition of Mari Chordà. The Catalan painter, poet and activist exhibits in the contemporary museum her feminist work that revolves around image, language and social action.
The aesthetic references in Mari Chordà’s work are alien to the academicist and anachronistic environment of the School of Fine Arts where she studied, but also to the artistic panorama of the moment in which she began to forge her own language. Hers is an imaginary close to the visual sensibility of pop and psychedelia, although Chordà has never considered herself part of those movements. A pioneer of her generation when it comes to proposing a free sexuality, her painting and her poetry speak of pleasure, motherhood and lesbian relationships.’
SUNDAY 8
Our Sunday morning will be dedicated to Y2K-inspired urban fashion. In the ‘Flow: Y2K Streetwear Market‘, installed on Space 88 in Poblenou, there will be a curated selection of 25 brands that will bring together in the same space the best of streetwear, sportswear and vintage fashion; as well as upcycling creations focused on the dosmilera aesthetic.
The music will finish the experience with the set of Isla6, a local collective that will be in charge of the lineup all day. Get your early bird tickets here.
At nightfall, we will head to BACARO: the trendy Venetian tavern in Barcelona that reinvents Italian cuisine from a restaurant located behind the Boqueria market. There, we will opt for some of its outstanding dishes such as its sardines ‘in saor’, its parpadella pasta with ragout beyond Genovese, or its melanzane beyond parmigiana signed by chef Marco Lecis.
