September is the best month ever! Especially if you can go to the beach, less tourists and cooler temperatures… What more do you want?
There is another reason why we are so excited. September means new beginnings and new arrivals. It is the beginning of new adventures, new friendships, and new plans. This is our way to say, “Welcome”! We would like to welcome all the new internationals and young Spanish people who have chosen Barcelona. We hope you will have a great time with us!
Let’s start with the first suggestion: if you are looking for a room, collect information. Check the opportunities that you may have in the city centre, look for the services in the neighbourhood, have a look at the public transports. If you live in a well-connected area, it will be easy for you to find interesting events, bars, karaoke or other activities to spend some pleasant hours with your friends.
Moreover, helpBarcelona has already some plans for you. We have selected some events that you cannot miss in September. Tasty food, interesting museums and events that may be very interesting. Are you ready for Barcelona?
FOOD
Handmade ice cream and crazy tastes: these are the strengths of this ice-cream shop in Barcelona. If you love ice-cream and you like to try something original, this is the right place for you. Smoked cheddar with crusty bacon, parmesan with Vinegar, Avocado with tomato and Basil… You spoilt for choice!
This would have been a perfect plan for August, but we’ve just discovered it… Sorry! Nonetheless, you must spend an evening there with your friends. The hall maintain a temperature of –5°C and the visit lasts 45 minutes. They will provide you jacket, gloves and a cocktail. Original, isn’t it? If you haven’t been in an ice-bar yet, you should experience it in Barcelona (at least once).
