For culture enthusiasts, the BAUM Fest is still ongoing until October 13, offering a vibrant showcase of urban culture, including tattoos, breakdancing, and extreme sports at Plaça Espanya. If you're in the mood for music, you might want to check out the preparations for the upcoming release of Coldplay’s new album ‘Moon Music’, which has inspired a special collaborative kit with FC Barcelona and Spotify, set to debut on October 26 during El Clásico.

For families, a visit to the Sagrada Familia is a must, especially in October when the crowds are smaller. You can also enjoy a bike ride through the city's flat and dry streets, taking in the iconic architecture without the heat of summer.

In the evening, head to Tablao Cordobes for a mesmerizing Flamenco show, a quintessential Spanish experience that will leave you enchanted.

On the local news front, FC Barcelona is gearing up for their match against Real Madrid on October 26, and the city is abuzz with the new limited-edition kit featuring Coldplay's logo.
