A Joséphine style dinner
DO - Primavera Sound
Obvious. The musical event of the year that goes beyond the meaning of a festival: there is the Primavera als Bars (concerts distributed throughout 20 venues in the city the weeks prior to the festival ), Minimúsica (activities and concerts for the little ones), Primavera al Parc (free live performances in different public areas of the Born neighborhood, that is, Ciutadella), Els Vermuts del Primavera amb Martini (morning showcases by groups like Dum Dum Girls, La Sera or Majical Cloudz) ... **and the opening of the festival on Wednesday May 28 at the Parc del Fòrum (free admission) **. In short, a whole musical universe scattered throughout the bars, cinemas and green areas of the city in the context of Primavera a la Ciutat.

RE - The Botiga del Primavera Sound
In the heart of the Born neighborhood on Calle Ases 1 is the ace of music shopping: Botiga del Primavera Sound, a point of sale (obviously) for the festival's label, El Segell del Primavera (Lee Ranaldo, PAUS, Refree... ) , a careful selection of international, national and Catalan vinyl Y ‘freak’ memorabilia and indispensable music lover for fans of the festival and for those who cannot conceive of life without music. Pay attention to its small-format concert schedule in the store, jam-packed throughout the year.
The store of your dreams ... music lovers
MI - The Palace of Catalan Music
If we talk about music and Barcelona, this modernist building to the maximum consequences (designed by Lluís Domènech i Montaner) and World Heritage It is essential, fair and necessary. The Palau de la Música Catalana is the Headquarters of the Catalan Choir from the end of the s. XIX and, to this day, continues to program excellent vocal and orchestral performances. The memorable moments in the halls of the Palau are endless, like the Lluís Llach recital in 1969 when the audience sang 'L'Estaca' (and not the singer-songwriter) for censorship reasons.

FA - Revolver Records
A gift to a music lover friend? Revolver Records never fails. In Calle Tallers (11 and 13) you will find this legendary record store (with about 20 years behind it), full of knickknacks to the brim and with a great selection of vinyl (especially oldies and rock) . There are actually two stores, one at 11 and the other at 13, so yes, your fears will come true: you'll spend hours and hours on Calle Tallers looking through vinyl records.
Attention, friends of rock
SOL - Razzmatazz Music is a 24-hour thing, so for night owls, Razzmatazz is the quintessential benchmark in the city (excuse me from Apollo). Bogatell neighborhood, perhaps the most industrial, full of large warehouses scattered between buildings, gives it that underground soul that can be breathed both in its Loft, as well as in the Lo.li.ta room, in the Razzmatazz club, Rex Room or in its Pop Bar. Five rooms, five environments through which the best of Spanish electronic music ** (such as Sideral Dj) ** or the indie (Dj Amable). And concerts? For all tastes, from Kaiser Chiefs to Loquillo.
Kind at Razzmatazz
LA- Heliogàbal
Heliogàbal looks like a bar in Gràcia but beyond the bar it hides its character of cultural association and concert hall . It has already become a place of reference in Barcelona, since there is no emerging group in the city that does not play in Heliogàbal (that's the myth, go). Perfect refuge where you can enjoy a drink, a cocktail or a vermouth listening to a direct hit.
Heliogabal
YES- Restaurant Joséphine
And music even on the plate (and on Passeig de Gràcia) . Don't miss out on the musical starter, the melodic snack and the tasty dessert: Joséphine ** restaurant is delicate, charming, fun and has a heart of jazz and soul. ** Thus, you can dine on cod with asparagus or some simple croquettes but with all the rhythm.
In Joséphine melodies are savored
DO - Sonar
We return to Do chest, but electronic . If we start with a festival, we end with another essential: Dream . With a day program and an afternoon program (pay attention to the big bill: Massive Attack, Lykke Li, Boys Noize, Caribou, , the 2manydjs dj set...) Spain's quintessential electronic music festival expands its arms internationally . This year, in winter, the Sónar organization will reach Tokyo and Mexico . Get ready!
