What to see and do in Barcelona in August? Holiday plans

August keeps the rhythm of summer in Barcelona with a programme combining major concerts, festivals, cinema, theatre and outdoor experiences. The month brings together everything from rock and metal performances to candlelit evenings, markets, exhibitions, guided visits and unique events such as observing the solar eclipse. It also includes traditional festivals, offerings for the whole family and cultural activities that make every week a new opportunity to discover the city from another perspective.
