New Year's count-down spots:
Curiously for a city that normally needs “no excuse” to celebrate with fireworks there is no central fireworks organized. There will, however, be no lack of celebrations and general good spirits! Where to gather:
Plaza Catalunya
The center square in Barcelona. It is bound to packed, so this is only for those who don’t mind intimate moments with strangers in public locations! Bring twelve grapes and eat one for every toll of the bell!
The Beaches
The city beaches are always a good choice for celebratory events in Barcelona! Plenty of room for large crowds, nice views of the city and no shortage of bars and restaurants. 
Restaurant Recommendations:
Naturally for the last day of the year you’ll need to make a reservation, and make it well in advance!

Barcelona Events Weekend 24.06 - 02-07
Paco de Lucia - the grand master of flamenco is an obvious highlight of this year's "Festival de Guitarra de Barcelona". The Andalucian is more then "just" a flamenco artist having reached an audience way beyond the converted flamenco enthusiasts with his flair and his originality. Highly recommended! Place: 27.06 Place: Gran Teatre Liceu. Price: 36-125 €.
