Welcome to Things to Do in Barcelona, listeners! I'm Oly Bennet, your globe-trotting sports nut diving into the city's quirkiest vibes. Today, Saturday, March 28, 2026, Barcelona's buzzing under sunny skies around 20 degrees Celsius, with a fresh sea breeze perfect for adventures—the Art Explora Festival boat is still rocking the harbor from its recent opening, setting a creative tone.

Kick off with these top events today: Catch the Exhibition on Critical Thinking: PolsXtrems at Palau Robert for mind-bending culture from 10 a.m., family-friendly Art Explora Festival experiences on the museum boat till 10 p.m. with gastronomic trucks and cocktails, pedal into fun at the Cycling Solidari event at Moll de la Marina for a sporty cause, or geek out at the IHS 2026 hernia conference if medicine's your jam. For laughs, check lingering comedy vibes from last night's Tinta Roja Club.

Local buzz: Early bird tickets for the massive UIA World Congress of Architects drop deadline tomorrow—grab 'em at uia2026bcn.org. Gaudí's 100th death anniversary celebrations are ramping up all year, with Sagrada Família glowing brighter than ever.

Must-dos today: Stroll Sagrada Família's facades early morning for that exclusive awe—Gaudí's buried in the crypt below, a hidden gem of organic genius. Hit the Art Explora boat for immersive art, then bike the Cycling Solidari for quirky athletic thrills. End with tapas in the Gothic Quarter.
