Upcoming Events in Barcelona - Information for Backpackers in Barcelona |
Our Hostel in Barcelona is recommending you two events going to be held in Barcelona this weekend:
The 28 Barcelona International Comic Fair.
Although the fair started yesterday it'll be opened until Sunday the 9th. Exhibitions, concerts, workshops, video games, and of course, the world of comics. It's a different option for those who are staying at our Hostel in Barcelona for this weekend and a great opportunity for the fans of comic stories Backpacking in Barcelona.
The Fair includes much more than classic book comic stories: movies, music, video games, interactive spaces and drawing workshops. In addition, the most important comic creators and artists are invited to the Fair. Among those who have confirmed their attendance: Tardi, presenting his book "War Whore", Jean Giraud Moebius and his particular vision of science fiction, Gene Ha (Marvel) or Philippe Bercovici, Spirou and White Women's author.
The most interesting:
The art show Los Ritmos del Cómic -the Comics Rhythm-, where the close relationship between comics and music is widely analyzed: musicians as comics main characters or vinyl record covers by comic artists. Some concerts are scheduled in the same area: Sidonie, Tiki Phantoms or Melodrama among others. Perfect for music fans backpacking in Barcelona.
Movies & Comic: The Fair is opened to the media. Major Hollywood superproductions Iron Man 2, Kick Ass and The A Team will be honored, but other events are scheduled: a special tribute to George Lucas' saga Star Wars on occasion of the The Empire Strikes Back thirtieth anniversary.
Video games will be presented at the Xbox 360 stand: The video game "Alan Wake" will be presented, as well as the beta version of Halo Reach, a new title of one the most successful video game sagas. Are you a viodegame addicted backpacking in Barcelona? This is an outstanding opportunity for you!

Spanish F1 Grand Prix, to be staged on 7, 8 and 9 May at the Circuit de Montmeló.
This second proposal is maybe too expensive for Barcelona Backpackers, but we think it is a great event in Barcelona. Attending the F1 Grand Prix of Spain is well worth an effort. If you're a budget traveller in Barcelona loving speed and you're in Barcelona this weekend staying in our Hostel in Barcelona maybe you could forget for one day Barcelona museums and tours, and enjoy this event ... go to the races! It's a chance that our Hostel in Barcelona won't miss out! The races live, the teams bustling foolish ... Will it rain?... Will Button win? Who will take pole? Will Alonso be on the podium ?
Our Hostel in Barcelona does not have the answers, go and check it for yourself! Visit Montmeló!
You'll find tickets from 295 €, includes every day's activities, also the race on May 9th at 2:00 PM. Click here to buy online (there are few entries!).
The price is certainly expensive for Barcelona Backpackers, but if you bear in mind that it is held only once a year, and it is an experience you're not going to live every day, our Hostel in Barcelona recommends it.
The Catalan Grand Prix Circuit (Circuit de Catalunya in Catalan), is located only 32 km away from our Hostel in Barcelona. So, how to get there? The easiest and shortest way is by train. You'll be in Montmelo in 23 minutes. Just take the train in Clot Station, just two minutes away from Hostel Barcelona youth hostel, and head Montmeló Station (Rodalies RENFE, line 2)
You don't want to spend so much money? Don't worry, you can watch the races from the spacious common room with cable TV in our Hostel in Barcelona.
