Fet al Born

📅 Saturday 30 – Sunday 31 January 2027, 11am–8pm (the last weekend of January)

📍 Location: Passeig del Born

Once a month the Born's own shops and workshops move out of the side streets and onto the Passeig — textiles, jewellery, ceramics and leather, with free demonstrations through the afternoon.

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. 30–31 January is the last weekend of January 2027. The 11am–8pm hours are the 2026 editions'; the organiser prints none.

WATCH & LISTEN

L'Orgue del Mar IV — Mar Vaqué, European Influences

📅 Friday 15 January 2027, 8.15pm (the cycle's standing time)

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

The basilica runs its own organ cycle, four Friday recitals between 15 January and 5 February, and this is the first of them — Mar Vaqué and a programme built on European influences, on the organ of the church at the bottom of the Passeig del Born.

Black e-voices, l'alè del temps — Cor Cererols and Ander Tellería

📅 Sunday 17 January 2027, 7.30pm

📍 Location: Palau de la Música Catalana, Petit Palau

A work the Palau bills as an absolute premiere, written for choir and accordion: Cor Cererols under Marc Díaz with Ander Tellería, and madrigals by Monteverdi and Gesualdo around it.

LEARN & DO

Picasso i l'arquitectura

📅 20 November 2026 – Sunday 7 March 2027 — open for the whole of January

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

The museum's only dated exhibition this season sets Picasso's cubist space against the architects who took it up, Le Corbusier first. Six sections on the city, the interior and the synthesis of the arts, plus the friezes Carl Nesjar cut from Picasso's drawings on the Col·legi d'Arquitectes in 1968.

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.
