The Más i Más Festival
Lots of music
Más i Más presents the 4th edition of its namesake festival, this time staging more than 100 performances from July through to September. The festival is a mixed bag of great tricks, serving up everything from jazz, blues and flamenco to hip hop and techno. In addition to music, the festival presents its first ever theatrical production during this edition, a stage version of Fellini's cinematic masterpiece La Strada. The festival aims to bring audiences the freshest offerings in contemporary culture and awaken curiosity for new sounds with performances by both huge stars at large venues - such as the BTM, Palau de la Música and l'Auditori - and less well-known talents at smaller, but equally prestigious settings, including Jamboree, Cova del Drac, Tarantos and the Jazzroom.
This year's edition is dedicated to the singular talent of the unforgettable Cuban artist Ibrahim Ferrer. The festival opens with a truly extraordinary treat - a concert by the iconic Nina Hagen and the Capital Dance Orchestra. The festival continues until September with countless performances, including concerts by such remarkable talents as McCoy Tyner, Omara Portoundo, Roy Hargrove and Alba and Manuel Molina.
- Date: July - September
- Oppening hours: Depends on the show

This exhibition will put you in his place to make you think like he did. Experiment and see the things that made his mind produce those theories.

Torre Agbar
Art
The Torre Agbar is converted to one of the symbols of BCN, not only for its great architecture, but also because of the fact that you can see it from nearly every higher place in the city. They have created a nice page for informing visitors of the origin, the form, the file, the plans, reality vs. theory, etc. All this is well imaged and animated.
Check it out.
