Autumn in
Barcelona brings jazz with the city's international
jazz festival.
The festival – one of Europe's longest running – takes place from October 28th to December 5th with almost daily concerts at venues throughout the city.
The jazz starts with a free open-air concert in the Placa de la Catedral, which each year draws thousands of fans from around Spain and Europe.
The inaugural concert this year features the
Llibert Fortuny XXL Big Band and the Fèlix Rossy Quintet.
International jazz stars that take part in the festival this year include the UK's Jamie Cullum Cassandra Wilson, Lucky Peterson and Herbie Hancock.
In total there are over 40 concerts taking place over the festival meaning heading to Barcelona on a city break almost guarantees being able to see some of the world's best jazz.
Besides the jazz, Barcelona is fast earning a reputation as Spain's party capital.
Clubs on offer range from the Nitsa, where jungle, techno and breakbeat can be found at the 50-year-old ballroom, to the moody Dietrich, where cabaret and drag shows make way for disco after midnight.
