What can you do this weekend? Món Llibre, Fira Literal and much more

BarcelonaEl ARA offers you various plans across the country for this weekend.

Open Workshops Bcn + L'H + Territory celebrates its 32nd edition, bringing art, crafts, design, and local creation within reach of citizens. This weekend, you can explore workshops, schools, or atheneums where disciplines such as paper arts, audiovisuals, 3D printing, biomaterials, ceramics, product design, sculpture, printing, jewelry, furniture, fashion and accessories, painting, restoration, textiles, and glass, among others, are practiced. Visits are free, but it is necessary to reserve a spot directly at the workshop for the activities.

The main festivals of the Dreta de l'Eixample present the Modernist Fair, with objects, gastronomic products, clothing, music and decorative elements from the era, demonstrations of old trades, shows and open-air cinema, among others. There will also be concerts, proclamations, castellers (human towers) and cabarets.

The Món Llibre festival will celebrate its 20th edition from May 23 to 25 with a program focused on literature and play that will unfold across various spaces in Barcelona. The festival, aimed at children between 0 and 12 years old, will feature a large exhibition at the CCCB where visitors can play. Món Llibre has renewed its directorship this year, which is in the hands of Anna Juan and Piu Martínez, and is focusing on children's and young adult literature, moving away from the performing arts, which had a significant role in previous editions. The festival will have two reading rooms, where books will be transformed into play. There will also be workshops on lithography, printmaking, and illustration, among others, to encourage children's creativity, and a space for young people.

The radical ideas and books fair celebrates its 11th edition on May 24 and 25 at Fabra i Coats in Barcelona. The fair's program includes a book market from independent publishers and cooperative bookstores, a stage dedicated to artistic expression with music and poetry performances, an area for families with shows, and a space for food and drink with cooperative, artisanal, and solidarity support experiences.

The Sala Mirador of the CCCB can be visited for free on certain days and this Sunday, May 25th, is one of them. It is located on the fifth floor of the Raval cultural center, from where you can enjoy good views of Barcelona through the glass facade.

The summer season begins and the Picasso Museum of Barcelona offers free and open entry on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays between 7 PM and 9 PM, with no reservation needed. You will be able to access both the permanent collection and the temporary exhibitions held at the museum. Furthermore, guided tours will also be offered starting at 7 PM for all visitors.

In this new edition of the Spring Fair, a day begins that will feature about twenty stalls from organizations and projects. There will be a gastronomic tasting of Community Kitchen, painting and origami workshops, storytelling, or performances by Chaman Rumbero and Sunset Jazz Club Band.

The 12th edition of Menja't el Mercat begins, the tapas tasting night that will once again fill the market with celebration and good food. The hours are from 6:30 PM to 11 PM and the combined ticket is worth €10 (3 tapas + 2 drinks), €2.5 per tapa and/or €1.5 per drink.
