Here at Tapas we’ve compiled the best plans to make the most of the weekend in Barcelona and indulge in hedonism between cultural and gastronomic experiences, festivals, events and museums. Grab your diary and take note of our weekly proposal.

FRIDAY 27TH

We’ll start the weekend seeing reality through the chromatic frequency of Fernanda Arrau’s ‘united colours’ party curated by Fernanda Arrau at La Terrrazza. We’ll live the clubber experience of the Chilean DJ influenced by 80s and 90s synths channelled into high-frequency sets that fluctuate between techno, house and electro.

SATURDAY 28TH

The design and gastronomic proposal of Julieta’s will take us to sit at one of the tables of this eclectic restaurant of the Isabella’s Group that evokes the Ibiza of the 60s. On its menu, rice dishes, the art of grilling and mixology are fused and practised with mastery.

The star of Julieta’s menu is undoubtedly our exquisite rice and pasta dishes made with fresh products from the sea and the mountains. But you will also find a variety of tapas and grilled dishes. Finish the meal in style with our happy drinks & cocktails’.

As twilight falls, we’ll head to Casa Montjuïc to connect with Verushka‘s warm up ambient dj set and the musical expertise of American artist James K, the producer, singer, DJ and artist who has transcended the fields of sound, visual art, performance and writing.

She has recently released her second album, ‘Random Girl’, which has been described as “full of complex soundscapes, voice manipulation and dazzling shoegaze with a self-built noise box, stethoscope throat vocals and a mobile phone recording of a fake tropical island on ecstasy” and “a voice against the infantilisation of femininity”.

SUNDAY 29TH

On Sunday we will visit the KBr Fundación MAPFRE focusing on ‘Barcelona Photo Center‘, a series dedicated to artistic photography as a form of language that seeks to contribute to the international projection of Barcelona’s creativity and cultural dynamism.

This new space in the city, located in the Port Olimpic area, very close to the Poblenou Cultural District, currently hosts the exhibition of two great figures of documentary photography: Louis Stettner and Pau Errázuriz.

In the evening, we’ll dress up for dinner at Mr Porter, the restaurant in the Sir Victor Hotel that interior design and foodies worship. This modern steakhouse offers a wide selection of cuts of meat and degrees of maturation, seafood, vegetarian options, as well as a 360-degree bar. All paired with DJ sets and craft cocktails.
