A night 100 years ago at Casa Batlló

Festival de la Infancia (Children's Festival)

The Children's Festival has been held in Barcelona since 1963, although in recent years it has had other names and a somewhat different philosophy. This year, however, it has regained its essence and brings us many new features. The festival has implemented a new system to avoid queues and has reduced the ticket price. Another novelty is the creation of Espacio de la Calma.
