September in Barcelona is truly special. The summer warmth still lingers, but the city breathes a calmer atmosphere after the busy months of July and August. It’s the perfect time to enjoy unique festivals, taste the local gastronomy, and discover unforgettable spots before welcoming autumn.
La Mercè: Barcelona’s great festival
From September 20 to 24, Barcelona fills with music, color, and tradition to celebrate La Mercè, the city’s biggest festival. During these days, the streets turn into an open stage with activities for everyone:
-
Castellers, the breathtaking human towers that are part of Catalonia’s cultural heritage.
-
Correfocs, where devils and fireworks light up the night.
-
Free concerts across different areas of the city, featuring both local and international artists.
-
And the highly anticipated Piromusical, a spectacular fireworks and light show that brings the celebrations to a close.
An unmissable occasion to experience Barcelona in its most authentic essence.
A sweet must-try: DelaCrem
There’s nothing better to accompany a September stroll than an artisanal ice cream. At DelaCrem, considered one of the best gelaterias in Barcelona, you’ll find flavors crafted in the traditional way with high-quality ingredients. A delicious stop to cool off while exploring the city.
Another plan you can’t miss
Beyond the festivals and sweet flavors, September also invites you to see Barcelona from a different perspective. A fantastic option is climbing up to the Bunkers del Carmel, a viewpoint with 360-degree views of the entire city—perfect for watching the sunset. Another alternative is to relax at a rooftop and end the day with a cocktail in good company, such as at the terrace of the Arya Stadium Hotel, one of the most special spaces of Madanis Hotels.
