I think everyone who reads these blogs will know how much we love a good beer festival. Unlike the Oktoberfest that's held in Munich every year though, the one in Barcelona is actually in October, rather than late September. Over 30 German beers will be served along with German food and live music. Tickets are free but you need to reserve a table in advance
Barceloan Jazz Weekend works as a warmup for the much bigger Jazzfest which takes place every year. The three day event takes place around the whole of the city and a full program of events can be seen though the link above. Tickets are available for €50.
If you're a fun of running, or just standing and watching people run around you, then the Correbarri is the event for you. Entry costs €14, but ends today so you need to be quick if you still want to go. Anyone can come along and watch the historic event which has quite a strong sense of competition between the 10 districts of Barcelona. If you prefer watching or taking part in Marathons then head along to the towns of Castelldefels and Gavà i Sitges on the 20th of October.
26th or 27th October - El Clásico FCB v Real Madrid
It's the fixture of the Spanish Football season. This year it's got even more interesting though with the worlds most expensive player Gareth Bale joining Ronaldo for Real Madrid, against (arguably) the worlds best player Messi and the hotly tipped for big things Neymar for Barcelona. The match takes place in the Nou Camp but if you can't get tickets then find a pub playing the match, sit down and enjoy - the atmosphere will be truely electric.
These are just our favourite picks from Barcelona over the coming month, there’s always something going on in this spectacular city. Our Barcelona guide will be available to download in a matter of days, so keep your eyes peeled for the big launch.
