October equals the arrival of Autumn, but that doesn’t mean hibernating, watching Netflix in your pijamas and pigging out on chocolates. There are so many unreal events coming to Barcelona this month; you can enjoy the city and its nightlife to the fullest. The darkest night of the year, Halloween, is also closer than ever. So now you have even more excuses to dance the night away to the pounding techno and house beats. Summer may be over, but October won’t disappoint you as the city will stay hot.
