New in Barcelona

There is something very Barcelona about arriving at a neighbourhood festival just when everything is already winding down. On May 31, 2026, we went to the Fiestas de l'Eixample, but by the time we arrived, most of the main activities had already finished. Still, it became a relaxed walk through the area, a chance to explore the neighbourhood together, take some photos, talk, laugh, and enjoy a simple evening with the New in Barcelona community.

Barcelona is a city best discovered on foot. On this international walk, we started in Glòries and made our way through Poblenou before heading up to Montjuïc. Along the route, we enjoyed different sides of the city, shared conversations, met new people, and spent the day exploring Barcelona together at a relaxed pace.

It was another opportunity to experience Barcelona from a more local perspective while meeting both familiar and new faces from our international community.
