When we talk about Spain, what comes into our mind, apart from the gastronomy and the good weather, is the sense of spending a great time no matter the hour of the day. To do so in Barcelona, we have a big number of clubs and discotheques. But what is more special and important is the Music Festivals that are celebrated. In this blog we are going to recommend 5 music festivals to enjoy in Barcelona this 2022.
