EAT & DRINK

Carnival 2027 — Dijous Gras and the Arribo

📅 Thursday 4 – Wednesday 10 February 2027. Dijous Gras and the Arribo on Thursday 4 February; Dimecres de Cendra (Ash Wednesday) on Wednesday 10 February

📍 Location: El Born and across the city; the Arribo is traditionally on the Passeig del Born

Dijous Gras is the eating day of the Catalan Carnival week — botifarra d'ou, truita and coca de llardons out of every bakery in the neighbourhood — and the Arribo that opens the week is the Passeig del Born's traditional set piece.

Note: The 2027 Arribo venue is not published; the city's edition sets it. No rua date is published for 2027 either — the local rues' dates and routes are unconfirmed — so plan around 4 and 10 February, not around a parade.

BUY & BROWSE

Fet al Born

📅 Saturday 27 – Sunday 28 February 2027, 11am–8pm (the last weekend of February)

📍 Location: Passeig del Born

The quiet edition — the Passeig has room to walk, and the free demonstrations are easy to see.

Note: Born Comerç runs Fet al Born on the last weekend of every month — that is the organiser's rule and it is the programme: no annual list of dates is published. 27–28 February is the last weekend of February 2027. The 11am–8pm hours are the 2026 editions'; the organiser prints none.

WATCH & LISTEN

L'Orgue del Mar IV — Saskia Roures, Offerings to the Sea

📅 Friday 5 February 2027, 8.15pm (the cycle's standing time)

📍 Location: Basílica de Santa Maria del Mar, Plaça de Santa Maria 1

The last of the four Friday recitals that opened on 15 January, and the one that closes the basilica's own cycle: Saskia Roures and Offerings to the Sea.

Dia de l'Antic Cantaire

📅 Sunday 14 February 2027, 12pm

📍 Location: Palau de la Música Catalana, Concert Hall

The Palau's annual day for its own choral tradition: the Orfeó Català under Xavier Puig shares a Sunday-morning Concert Hall programme with the Polifònica de Vilafranca and the Coral Ginesta de Cervera.

Note: Tickets through the Palau; no price is published.

LEARN & DO

Picasso i l'arquitectura

📅 until Sunday 7 March 2027

📍 Location: Museu Picasso, Carrer de Montcada 15-23

Open all February, and nothing is announced after 7 March, so this is the show to build a winter trip around.

Culture in el born

With it's historic and cultural traditions going back hundreds of years El Born, the Height of Barcelona, offers many sites of interest to the culture lover.

Of course merely walking the streets rich in history such as the Passeig del Born is itself an amazing cultural experience.  And the nightlife and bar scene is a form of modern culture.  But for the more traditional experience don't miss the many small art galleries in the district.
