The essential plans for this weekend in Barcelona

candlelight concerts

Intimate performances under candlelight that take place in spectacular venues never before used as concert halls, such as the Royal Artistic Circle, the Basilica Santa Maria del Pi or the Sant Pau Art Nouveau Site. They allow you to enjoy live music in a completely new way, with a wide range of genres: classical music, jazz, pop tributes, movie soundtracks or ballet. The concerts will last throughout the month of March.

Els Encantets, the solidarity market that will raise funds for minors in Ukraine and Sudan:

Next weekend, March 4 and 5, 2023, the first edition of the Els encantets Solidarity Market will be held at the Hotel Majestic to raise funds to help children affected by the conflicts in Ukraine and South Sudan.

A group of volunteers will take care of the proper functioning of this charity sale in which you can find bags, costume jewellery, shoes, gloves, glasses, sweaters, hats, dresses, coats, women's lingerie, antiques, paintings, decoration, wines and plants.

On Saturday morning we will have the writers María del Carmen Güell who will sign her book "Gaudí and Count Güell, the artist and patron" and Isabel Güell who will present "A strange world".

Saint-Omer, the people against Laurence Coly, a story based on true events:

Finalist for Best International Film at the 2023 Oscars, Saint-Omer, the people against Laurence Coly, tells the story of a real case of infanticide. A novelist, Rama, attends the trial of Laurence Coly, a young woman accused of killing her 15-month-old daughter by abandoning her at high tide on a northern French beach. But as the trial progresses, the words of the defendant and the testimonies of witnesses will shake Rama's convictions and cast doubt on the trial itself.

To Leslie, emotional drama about the life of an alcoholic:

Set in West Texas, this film tells the story of Leslie, who six years ago won the lottery but quickly squandered the prize, spending it all on parties and alcohol. Inspired by true events, the single mother will turn to her son in an attempt to get her life back on track.

The protagonist is played by Andrea Riseborough, nominated for the 2023 Oscars for Best Actress.

Creed III, a solid sequel full of epic fights:

After Creed II, comes Creed III, a film that tells of the reunion between two boxing friends. After Adonis Creed progresses in the world of boxing, his childhood friend Damian reappears after serving a long sentence in the ring.

Adonis Creed is out to prove he deserves a chance in the ring. The confrontation between these former friends is more than just a fight. To settle the score, Adonis must risk his future to face Damian, a boxer with nothing to lose.

Gods, magicians and sages. The private collections of the artists:

The Caixa Forum in Barcelona offers a peculiar exhibition of the work of ten artists, including Miró Tàpies, Rosa Amoróz, Juan Hernández Pijuan and Manolo Millares. But also, it presents a new experience, exposing their private collections. Giving collecting the importance it deserves, the exhibition allows us to get to know these artists more deeply; their obsessions and creative interests, through the works they have collected, kept and cared for.

Blackberry Smoke:

On Saturday, March 4, the American rock group Blackberry Smoke arrives with their You Hear Georgia Tour. The vocal and instrumental richness of the band, made up of Charlie Starr (vocals and guitar), Paul Jackson (guitar and vocals), Richard Turner (bass and vocals), Brit Turner (drums) and Brandon Still (keyboard) is reflected in his songs, which dance between country and rock, always with a clear local southern style.
