What's On Barcelona: 10th - 12th April

Good morning Barcelona! ¿Qué tal?

I shared this a couple of weeks back, but so many of you liked it, I thought I’d share it again for those that may have missed it.

Each spring, peregrine falcons nest in one of the towers of the Sagrada Família. Their eggs hatch around early April, and you can watch it live on a webcam.

As for this weekend, here’s What’s On.
