Live music doesn’t take a summer break in Barcelona. In August, the city changes pace \u2014 fewer business travellers, more locals in the streets \u2014 but the music agenda stays among the busiest in southern Europe. Legendary venues such as Razzmatazz, Jamboree, Sala Apolo and the Palau de la M\u00fasica keep their doors open, and on top of that two of the city’s biggest free street festivals (Gr\u00e0cia and Sants) fill the neighbourhoods with hundreds of open-air concerts. The result is a remarkably diverse line-up \u2014 punk, jazz, rock, Catalan rumba, electronic music and traditional popular music \u2014 perfect to combine with your trip to the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you’re staying at Hotel Arc La Rambla, you’re in the best possible spot to enjoy it all: in the very heart of the centre, with the Drassanes metro station (L3) one minute away and direct connections to Razzmatazz, Palau Sant Jordi, Sants and Gr\u00e0cia without changing lines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
