Barcelona
BARCELONA, SPAIN
BARCELONA'S IRRESISTIBLE SYMPHONY
Swimming in the Med, iconic beachside nightclubs, and a next-level culinary scene… it’s easy to see why travelers are captivated by Catalonia’s untamable wild-child, Barcelona. The sea, the sun, and the sangria set a stunning stage for Abroadfest, Europe’s biggest festival for college students and visitors abroad!
Historically featuring artists like Tiesto, Marshmello, The Chainsmokers, and more, Abroadfest is the new “DNA of music.” In one of Barcelona’s most famous venues, you’ll have access to lounges, food trucks and multiple stages to create the perfect weekend of insane electronic music and Catalonian culture.
Start your day by sightseeing, soaking up the sun at the beach, or wandering Barcelona’s beautiful winding boulevards. In the afternoon, we’ll take over Abroadfest. You’ll get lost in the hypnotic beats of iconic DJs and the intoxicating energy of the crowd. This is living.
Date: July 23 – 26, 2022

THURSDAY
ON TOP OF THE HILLS
When you arrive on Thursday, we’ll all head up to Tibidabo, the highest point in Barcelona with unbeatable views of the city as far as the eye can see. We’ll all have drinks, kick back, get to know each other, and pregame for a weekend of late nights and a lineup you’ll froth over!
FRIDAY
GET LOST IN LAS RAMBLAS
You’ll want to make the most of your time in BCN, so we’ll stroll through Park Guell, one of Barcelona’s most famous spots full of bright mosaics, Roman-inspired market, and winding trails between forests of trees. In the afternoon you’ll head home and change into your best festival ‘fit, because we’re doing Abroad Fest. Get ready to see artists like Tiesto, The Chainsmokers, Marshmello, and more!
SATURDAY
FESTIVAL FEVER
Get hydrated, fuel up, and get your glitter because we’re doing Abroad Fest round two on Saturday. There’ll be the main area with all the stages, and some of the past lineups have included Flux Pavillion, Oliver Heldens, and Louis the Child, but every year it tops itself. You’ll get lost in the crowd, take a breath at the lounge, grab a bite from the Abroad Fest food trucks, and make enough memories to last a lifetime. You deserve it!
SUNDAY
ONE LAST GLASS OF WINE BEFORE YOU LEAVE?
On Sunday you’ll surely be exhausted, and you might be headed back home for a rest before we get messy at La Tomatina next weekend. If you’re not in a rush, this’ll be your chance to see Gaudi’s famous La Sagrada Famillia and check off any other Barcelona bucket list items. If you’re staying with us again, you can join us for our Swallow Don’t Spit wine tasting. See you for one of the world’s biggest food fights in Buñol!
The Abroad Connection makes the most of your semester by visiting the cities and destinations you’ve been dreaming about.
