Best of Barcelona in February<\/h2>\r\n

Marvel at the lights at the Llum Art Festival<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

After the fun festivities of the holidays, the dreariness of winter really starts to set in. However, every year since 2012, the Llum festival<\/a> has brought light and beauty to Barcelona in this humdrum time of year. Throughout the rejuvenated Poblenou neighborhood, you’ll be able to marvel at unique artwork produced using only light projected onto some of the area’s most gorgeous buildings, as well as one-of-a-kind light sculptures. This stunning intersection of art and technology is one of the most unique events taking place in Barcelona in February.<\/p>\r\n

Celebrate Barcelona’s patron saint<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Or, more accurately, one of them. Celebrations in honor of the first, La Merc\u00e8, take over the city in late September<\/a>. However, if you visit Barcelona in February, you’ll still be able to take part in another round of festivities honoring the second patron saint: Santa Eulalia<\/a>. For several unforgettable days, you’ll be able to experience an authentic Catalan street party of epic proportions in and around Plaza Sant Jaume. Think folk dancers, fire runs, dragons, and the ever-present\u00a0castellers.<\/em><\/p>\r\n

Experience a delicious cal\u00e7otada<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Foodies, this one’s for you! Barcelona in February enjoys the peak of\u00a0cal\u00e7ot\u00a0<\/em>season. What’s a\u00a0cal\u00e7ot<\/em><\/a>? We’re glad you asked! These tasty veggies are similar to a spring onion with just a touch of extra sweetness. They also happen to be one of Catalonia’s most prized regional crops.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Throughout the winter, locals devour these delicious savory treats at\u00a0cal\u00e7otadas<\/em>, or special barbecues dedicated to the\u00a0cal\u00e7ot\u00a0<\/em>harvest. If you can’t make it out to an actual\u00a0cal\u00e7otada<\/em>, no worries! Any traditional Catalan restaurant<\/a> worth its salt will have\u00a0cal\u00e7ots\u00a0<\/em>on the menu this time of year.<\/p>\r\n

A rustic Catalan feast wouldn’t be complete without cal\u00e7ots, one of the main reasons to visit Barcelona in February!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Check out the Festival de Guitarra<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Last but not least, we didn’t forget about you music lovers! Barcelona’s annual guitar festival<\/a> kicks off at the end of January and lasts throughout February and beyond. From flamenco to jazz to rock and so much more, you’ll find a never-ending variety of styles coming to life at venues throughout the city. Don’t miss your chance to experience the latest and greatest guitar music at this fun concert series taking place in Barcelona in February.<\/p>\r\n

If the guitar festival inspires you, you can always bring back a flamenco guitar as a souvenir!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\r\n
