The renovation project at the Parc de la Trinitat includes work on gardens
walls and foundations which have deteriorated through intensive use over time
The work entails an investment of 1.2 million euros and should be completed in ten months
Local people in the neighbourhood of Trinitat Vella will get a newly revamped Parc de la Trinitat early in 2024, thirty years after it first opened. The renovation project is set to improve the state of vegetation in the park and repair several damaged elements.
The work in the 7-hectare park includes the removal of barriers of cypress bushes to generate a square for public events. A space of 400 square metres will also be planted with bushes, the condition of the grass improved and water collection channels cleaned.
Structural work in the park includes the repair of walls, paving for paths and the renovation of the public toilets.
Ramadan 2025 returns to Barcelona with a bang and all over the city there are iftars, the meal to break the fast, open to all.
This weekend (according to the lunar calendar) has started Ramadan, the fasting month of the Muslim communities. For 30 days the Muslim people of Barcelona and Catalonia will celebrate their period of recollection respecting the fourth pillar of Islam: fasting from sunrise to sunset.
At sunset each day will come the iftar, the meal with which the fast is broken. And as Islamic communities are increasingly part of the local culture, throughout the month it will be possible to find in Barcelona popular iftars where you can discover how the ritual of breaking the fast is.
We tell you all the details of Ramadan 2025 in Barcelona so you can learn something about it and, perhaps, go to one of these iftars to taste some Arab or Asian cuisine delicacies.
Ramadan is the Arabic name for the ninth month of the Islamic lunar calendar, which begins with the appearance of the first crescent moon after the new moon.
As it is a lunar calendar, the dates do not usually coincide with those of the solar calendar, and that explains why its celebration does not fall on the same dates every year in the Western calendar.
During the month of Ramadan, Muslims observe the fourth pillar of Islam, which is fasting or abstinence (sawm) from all food, drink or sexual intercourse from dawn to sunset, much like in Christian Lent.
This fast has a few conditions to be respected: to be a Muslim, to have reached the age of majority and to be in good health. In case of travel, illness or other complications, the person is exempt and the days not fasted can be made up at a later date.
To do so, Muslims rise before sunrise and eat breakfast (suhûr), and at the end of the day, at sunset, break the fast (iftâr). The Qur’ân is read more often, as the story goes that the scriptures began to be revealed on a night of Ramadân. Throughout the month, at night, the night prayer is performed, which is usually followed by an optional prayer(tarâwih) that takes place in the mosque, in which each night a part of the Qur’ân is read until it is completed.
The social and communal part is also a key component of the month of Ramadan. These weeks are a period of socialization where the relational and family aspect takes on a prominent role.
Numerous Muslim communities of diverse cultural origins coexist in Barcelona, both indigenous and coming from different countries in Africa or Asia, so the way of celebrating iftar is different depending on the community.
Several of them have organized meetings to break the fast and have invited neighbors, friends and collaborators to share this moment with the citizens.
We tell you all the popular iftars that are organized this Ramadan 2025 in Barcelona so you can enjoy them.
A completely dry construction method was used. A metal framework of girders and pillars was erected, working in collaboration with a load-bearing system of radiata pine cross-laminated wood panels and ceilings that brace and give stability to the whole. The interior claddings are limited to areas of plywood skirting to enable the passage of electrical and data connections, and otherwise, the interiors are the bare CLT structure and the metal framework with fire-resistant paint.
All the walls and doors of the corridors incorporate a specific design that returns the air through the plenum to central chimneys that take it to the machine room on the roof
The air is blown directly onto the machines
generating a local atmosphere that is warmer or cooler than the outside environment
which allows them to function with less effort and less electricity consumption
the roof generates 60,000W of electrical power a year by means of photovoltaic panels

The Penya Blaugrana Trinitat Vella are celebrating their 30th anniversary
Numerous activities were organised for their members so they could further enjoy sharing their passion for everything FC Barcelona
this penya has been known for a real commitment to its neighbourhood
particularly promoting sport as a means for social integration and a core concept for the local area
sport has been a main feature of the activities organised to celebrate their 30th anniversary
the PB Trinitat Vella has been running numerous activities as part of their 30th anniversary celebration
The first was a dominoes tournament held on April 25 in their club facilities
the Barcelona penya organised a Walking Football tournament on April 30
which everyone could participate in to enjoy a great day of sport
May 8 was the date for their Padel tournament
No less than 30 penya members play padel so it was a great opportunity for them all to show their skills with a racquet
the PB Trinitat Vella organised a talk named “Barça: Past
which became the perfect aperitif before the big closing event
the talk involved speakers such as ex-players and members from the FC Barcelona Players Association represented by José Vicente “Tente” Sánchez
The culmination of the many activities organised by the Penya Blaugrana Trinitat Vella to celebrate their 30th anniversary came on Saturday
A super gala dinner for almost a hundred people
He took the opportunity to give a speech to congratulate the collective for its exemplary involvement in the local neighbourhood
thanked Macià for coming and the Club for its support during the penya's three decades of history
The dinner was also attended by Paco Martínez
ex-player and member of the FC Barcelona Players Association
councillor for sport for Sant Andreu from Barcelona City Council
The porta Trinitat Center for Community Life is a new civic facility located at the entrance to Barcelona
very close to the Nuse de la Trinitat road junction
The scale of the urban periphery marks the site
The volumes are arranged in two bands in the direction of the two main roads
the Casal d’Entitats i Centre de Serveis Socials
dividing one of the bands to open up the inner space of the plaza and creating a subspace for an outdoor cinema
The building is intentionally abstract and simple so that it can coexist with the pieces that will complete the center in the future
the project seeks to create a comfortable place at the end of the plaza: a public house for the neighbors of the Sant Andreu and Nou Barris districts
Wood offers warmth in a hostile urban environment
it absorbs CO2 throughout its entire life-cycle
reducing the environmental impact of its carbon footprint
To counteract the low thermal inertia of the wood
the project harnesses the inertia of the ground
The earth from the excavation of the hillside is used to bury clean air tubes
the air that circulates through the tubes is heated and released into the two covered courtyards that function as large conductors
The project hence recovers a Mediterranean building tradition
Since the air is comfortable enough both in winter and in summer – approximately 17 or 18ºC all year around – the energy used for heating and cooling is very low
Climate conditioning is only necessary in the harshest days of winter or summer
the roof generates 60,000W of electrical power a year through photovoltaic panels
so the building’s energy consumption is near zero
The interior of the center is organized around two courtyards that provide light and air
The entrance lobby is a generous space that functions as a foyer for the assembly hall and can be used for other activities and exhibitions
The reception and canteen are located here
The first floor is a social services center and information point for women
Offices and spaces for neighborhood associations take up the remaining floors

The neighbors of this neighborhood of Nou Barris have been creating for ten years a passage of terror that already attracts more than a thousand people
But there is another Halloween in the city, a smaller and unknown one, one that a group of Barcelonians organize with their own hands and that, like all popular festivals, is of the neighbors and for the neighbors, is accessible and born in the margins, away from the spotlights of the city center. We are talking about the Túnel del Terror de Trinitat Vella, the most unknown fear passage of Barcelona.
We know the costumes of the parties of Gracia or Sants, but not everyone knew that in Trinitat Vella, that neighborhood that is usually off the radar of events in the city, more than 80 neighbors have been working for months to launch a tunnel of terror that has more than a thousand square meters and 14 different spaces.
View this post on Instagram The theme of this year’s passage is still secret
the artificial intelligence has gotten out of hand
and the results can be catastrophic …”
Under the title “The show must go on” and has been organized
The tunnel has been built by the neighbors of Trinitat Vella
with the support of the merchants of the neighborhood
in an initiative that is 12 years old and has been growing
from humble beginnings to a show that in its last edition in 2019
to access it you have to hurry and approach the civic center at 18h
when they will begin to distribute tickets for the show
It is held at the Civic Center of the neighborhood
and the entrance is on carrer Mare de Déu de Lorda
but a voluntary contribution of non-perishable food that will go to entities of Trinitat Vella and Nova is requested
a round initiative and a neighborhood movement that shows that the good secrets of Barcelona are often cooked far from its center
Barcelona shows a contrasting picture in terms of its socioeconomic distribution
with some neighborhoods emerging as the wealthiest and others struggling with poverty
According to the latest Territorial Socioeconomic Index (IST) of the Statistical Institute of Catalonia (Idescat) with data from 2020
the gap between the most affluent and the most impoverished neighborhoods is significant
In the top 5 of the richest neighborhoods is the district of Sarrià – Sant Gervasi
dominating the list of affluent territories
Tres Torres leads the ranking with an index of 135.9% compared to the Catalan average
Sant Gervasi-Bonanova (129.5%) and Sarrià (129.4%)
These areas stand out for their high employed population and low presence of low-skilled workers
as well as for having a significant proportion of population with higher education and an average income per person that is double the average for Catalonia
the five poorest neighborhoods in Barcelona are located in different districts and are located close to the city’s borders
Ciutat Meridiana tops the list with an index of 66.1% compared to the Catalan average
La Marina del Prat Vermell (73.7%) and Vallbona (74.7%)
These areas face challenges in terms of low employment
a greater presence of low-skilled workers and a young population with less access to post-compulsory education
the average income per person in these neighborhoods is significantly lower than the Catalan average
Idescat’s analysis also shows a portrait of the socioeconomic differences between the richest and poorest neighborhoods
in Tres Torres a large majority of the population is employed
with a minimal proportion of low-skilled workers and a high presence of people with higher education
with a higher percentage of low-skilled workers and a significant young population without post-compulsory education
These socioeconomic disparities reflect the reality of the city and highlight the importance of addressing inequalities to achieve a more inclusive society
The analysis of the Territorial Socioeconomic Index
not only provides a snapshot of the situation in Barcelona
but also sheds light on the distribution of wealth and well-being throughout Catalonia
offering key information for decision-making in public policy and community development
In terms of municipalities with more than 500 inhabitants
Sant Cugat del Vallès and Castellolí (Barcelona) have the highest socioeconomic index in Catalonia
Barbens and Seròs (Lleida) and Salt (Girona) have the lowest socioeconomic index

represent the city’s most extensive network of public cultural spaces
But community centres are more than just the activities they host; they are also the buildings themselves
each with its own intriguing story that reflects the city’s history and its evolution
The year 2022 marked a significant milestone for the city’s community centres
celebrating 40 years of this network of public cultural facilities
The Centre Cívic Guinardó was the first to open its doors in 1982
Casa del Rellotge in La Marina and many others
When we talk about community centres – one of the public services most highly regarded by Barcelonans – we think of democratic access to culture and the community activism of the 1970s and 80s
This activism involved both the public reclamation of unused or historic buildings and the construction of new ones
It’s well known that there was a notable gap from the early 20th century until democracy was restored
The subsequent disengagement of the working and middle classes from the mid-1990s onwards is also widely recognised
Prior to the strategic plan for community centres
Barcelona had a fragmented and unstable grassroots cultural network
associations and cultural spaces with no fixed premises or targeted management
there was significant interest in uncovering the origins of the idea behind creating these local cultural spaces
we see that most of today’s community centres are situated where fields or country estates once stood
these buildings were factories or industrial warehouses
It is rare to find structures with a strong cultural heritage among them
Exploring the history of each building also highlights the city’s journey through industrialisation and deindustrialisation
the relocation of factories to the suburbs and the overall transformation of the urban environment
residents’ associations and social activists turned these spaces into public heritage sites
Some last-minute heirs sold them to the authorities
politicians and cultural officials in the city council actively promoted their acquisition and carefully planned their future use
There are also community centres that have been established through donations from notable Barcelonans
such as Joaquim Matas i Ramis (Matas i Ramis in Horta)
Manso Argemí (Torre Llobeta in Nou Barris) and the astronomer and scientist Josep Comas i Solà (Vil·la Urània in Sarrià - Sant Gervasi)
Mr Comas i Solà specified in his will that the property must be used as “a popular observatory
In the former municipality of Sant Martí de Provençals
the textile factories of what was known as the “Catalan Manchester” began to take shape
The building now housing the community centre
was originally owned by the businessman Felip Ferrando before changing hands
Designed by the industrial engineer Benet Puig i Rossinyol
which handled the entire cotton fabric production process
The building’s unique design has led some to compare it to a Parisian apartment block
perhaps because it contains a swimming pool
the campaign “Catex per al barri!” [Catex for the Community] was launched
and the City Council ended up purchasing the building
saving it from being sold off for office development
The neighbourhood of La Trinitat derives its name from a chapel built in 1413
once hosted one of the city’s five medieval gallows (forca in Catalan)
giving rise to the expression “a la quinta forca” (in the middle of nowhere)
La Trinitat was largely a sparsely populated agricultural area
It evolved from vineyards to a few summer houses and
although the neighbourhood’s landscape was notably altered by the establishment of a women’s prison in 1963
Statistics from around ten years ago indicated that La Trinitat Vella was one of the least visited neighbourhoods by Barcelonans
a situation that changed with the construction of the La Trinitat junction
The Centre Cívic Trinitat Vella community centre opened in 1986
The Centre Cívic Can Deu is located in Plaça de la Concordia in the Les Corts district
the Deu family established both a factory and their residence in this neighbourhood
referring to the anisettes and wines the family produced (interestingly
the Centre Cívic Parc Sandaru is also named after an old drink
The Deu surname also led to admiring phrases like “It was a cal Deu meal” (meaning an extraordinary meal)
References to the Deu lineage are found throughout Les Corts
Architect Eduard Mercader designed the Deu mansion in an eclectic style with neo-Gothic and modernist touches
This community centre was one of the first to open
While some people might never have entered the building
it’s unlikely they haven’t visited the bar
with its direct access from Plaça de la Concordia
stained glass windows and wrought ironwork evoke another era
yet they are very much part of our present
More community centres: endless discussion groups
Joan Brossa once said that the problem is people never realise the power they have
Reflecting on the history of community centres highlights that without neighbourhood awareness
many of these buildings would now be shopping centres or run-of-the-mill housing
Community centres would undoubtedly exist somewhere
but it was the activism and determination of local residents that drove their creation in the past and continues to support them today
He shared with me the story of the local activism surrounding the Espai Jove Casa Sagnier
which was as a community centre until 2018
The building was the home of architect Enric Sagnier and his descendants until the early 1950s
Mercè Rodoreda references this location in the preface of Mirall trencat (A Broken Mirror)
describing it as the “abandoned park of the Marquis of Can Brusi” and recalling the magnificent gardens it once had before the war
After serving as a women’s hall of residence and a centre of study for the University of Barcelona
local residents protested the reclassification of the land towards the end of the century
the campaigners proposed occupying the gardens around the clock
staying resolutely and cheerfully as long as they could
They even created a board game about the campaign (not a game of chance!) and took up crocheting – perhaps explaining why the community centre later specialised in textile and handmade arts
These conversations would stretch late into the night
continuing until the morning crowd arrived
this is the best thing that can happen to a conversation
Another fascinating story is that of the Centre Cívic Cotxeres de Sants
which still features several areas reminiscent of the porticos where the animals pulling trams used to rest
This is also noted in Maria Barbal’s novel Tàndem
where a pivotal scene unfolds at this centre
I’d also like to visit the Centre Cívic La Bruguera in the El Coll neighbourhood
The well-known publishing house of books and comics
significant to the area since 1910 and especially after the war
had its headquarters and printing presses there
The community centre is part of this history (which is full of contrasts
Sivilla mentions that if I’m truly working on a feature about community centres
it would be worth exploring what they’re currently offering
courses and cultural tours – at least in the Orlandai centre he knows
He never actually goes there himself but feels reassured knowing it’s nearby
Better than a Starbucks or a start-up incubator [he jokes]
given my obsession with architecture and history
I might want to consider proposing a tour of the 52 community centre buildings
Tourists are taking photos of the solomonic column cross
Arab women are entering the Associació Intercultural Diàlegs Dona [Intercultural Women’s Dialogue Association]
workers from the Biblioteca de Catalunya are going about their day
and some locals are visibly struggling with heroin addiction
who oversee the network of community centres from the Institut de Cultura de Barcelona [Institute of Culture of Barcelona] (ICUB)
although each district and centre operates autonomously
From their broad perspective of the entire network
they explain that some programmes are centrally managed
Community centres provide a venue for performances before a highly diverse audience
and serves as an alternative to the Filmoteca
film festivals or commercial cinemas more dedicated to auteur cinema
Barcelona Districte Cultural (BDC) is the neighbourhood cultural circuit that includes circus
The “Temporals” programme showcases audiovisual
these programmes tour all the community centres
each of which also has its own unique artistic programming
Díaz tells me that community centres are the most widespread cultural spaces in the city
They act as hubs for social cohesion and lifelong learning
they support local organisations in each neighbourhood
Allowing these organisations to use their spaces is crucial
as is making the centres accessible to any resident who wants to get involved
The key is first to be aware that the community centre exists
exhibitions and concerts form the bulk of the programming
language courses and exhibition spaces are relatively unknown
The old stereotype of community centres as hubs for macramé is long gone
though there’s a risk they might now become centres for yoga or pilates (or even mindfulness)
you’ll find the centres that draw the most visitors from other neighbourhoods
While there’s no specific effort to attract young people
STEAM and other topics that might interest them
The aim is to challenge stereotypes and make these courses appealing to older adults as well
Programming is designed to spark imagination
offering what citizens might not yet realise they want
as many people often value what they’ve paid for
This has introduced intermediaries between the service provided by the City Council and the one received by the public
outsourcing allows for administrative oversight
managing contracts with partners and distributing profits
I find out more: while stately homes can be striking and make for very attractive community centres
they often come with more maintenance challenges
the most durable centres are those that were originally factories
Although the social activism of the 1970s and 1980s is important to acknowledge
most of the centres were established later
The area’s historical legacy of cultural centres
the number of community centres has been set at 52
ensuring that no resident is more than a 30-minute walk from one
There are no plans to open any additional centres in the near future
Current challenges for managing these centres in line with today’s society
include reflecting the city’s diverse demographics
as each year sees tens of thousands of people moving in and out
Another challenge is addressing the needs of an ageing population
who may face modest pensions but potentially have more educational qualifications than previous generations
integrity and community and local networks
which always reminds me of the film Tras el cristal (In a Glass Cage) by Agustí Villaronga
It’s one of my favourite community centres
an old university friend and literature workshop facilitator at various community centres
He now works for the Consorci per a la Normalització Lingüística [Consortium for Language Normalisation] and is thrilled not to have to teach in a secondary school
He still had a few documents to submit and a form to sign
We eventually got around to the hare-brained yet charming question: What is culture
as part of the ever-changing group of cultural workers
are always pleased to see that cultural funding doesn’t come at the expense of political salaries and that management avoids fostering precarious conditions

Golf La Roca Barcelona was the venue on Sunday for the II Open Golf Penyes del Barça
a competition open to FC Barcelona members and supporters club that drew an entry list of over 100 players
Co-organised with the World Confederation of Penyes
José Ramón Alexanko and Jesús Mariano Angoy were among the entrants
Any players with a golf license and official handicap were able to join in a day that combined sport with the famous Barça values
People did not have to be members of a penya to take part in
but those who were got a 20% discount on their green fee and the highest scorer would get to play in the traditional pre-Clásico Barça-Madrid golf challenge between fans of the two rival clubs this Thursday 25 on the Costa Daurada
The man who will be presenting the Barça supporters club movement was revealed to be Francesc Ibáñez of Penya de Torroella de Montgrí
Antoni Guil oversaw the event by welcoming the players
and there was food for everyone once it was over
and a prize giving ceremony led by Xavier Ilincheta
The winners were: in the High Handicap category
la Teixoneia and Trinitat Vella also attended
Famous people associated to FC Barcelona also took part
Local people in the neighbourhood of Trinitat Vella will get a newly revamped Parc de la Trinitat early in 2024
The renovation project is set to improve the state of vegetation in the park and repair several damaged elements
The work in the 7-hectare park includes the removal of barriers of cypress bushes to generate a square for public events
A space of 400 square metres will also be planted with bushes
the condition of the grass improved and water collection channels cleaned
Structural work in the park includes the repair of walls
paving for paths and the renovation of the public toilets
Los mapas colaborativos de Hoodmaps permiten que los usuarios etiqueten los barrios
una plataforma de mapas colaborativos en la que los usuarios pueden definir con sus propias palabras las diferentes zonas de la ciudad
la zona de Puerta de la Mar es «donde vivía Rita [Barberá]» o en la zona de Mestalla solo hay «kebabs»
Los usuarios introducen una descripción –más bien
una etiqueta– de cada barrio y diferenciarlos por colores y tipos: el azul es para las zonas de negocio
el azul oscuro para zonas de estudiantes y el gris para las zonas residenciales

L'Ajuntament de Barcelona has doubled the aids to improve the energy efficiency of homes: they go from 3,000 to 6,000 euros in a new call
L’Ajuntament de Barcelona has launched a new call for grants to improve the energy efficiency of homes with up to 6,000 euros in subsidies
and administrative procedures have been reduced to facilitate access to funds with fewer forms to fill out
promoted by the Barcelona Housing Consortium
financed in equal parts by the European Union’s Next Generation funds and the municipal budget
The works subsidized by the program range from the replacement of windows
the improvement of the insulation of facades or roofs from the inside and the installation of air conditioning systems based on renewable energies
usufructuaries and tenants whose dwelling is their habitual and permanent residence
The amount granted may not exceed the total cost of the investment
and the works must be completed before June 30
the minimum cost of the actions must be 1,000 euros
The funds may cover additional expenses such as professional fees
technical certificates and other administrative costs
it is important to verify whether the building in question already has an open rehabilitation file
since in that case the corresponding call for applications must be consulted
the subsidies are intended for single-family dwellings or within multi-family buildings
the eligible actions must have started after February 1
2020 and investments in thermal generators using fossil fuels will not be financed
The subsidies under this call are not compatible with other municipal rehabilitation programs
such as those aimed at specific neighborhoods (Besòs and Maresme
Trinitat Vella and Canyelles) or those focused on buildings for residential use in the ERRP area of the Pla de Barris
if after applying for this aid the community of owners accesses a rehabilitation program at the building level
The route will skirt the Ponderosa plain to the Besòs water treatment plant and continue to the Casa de l’Aigua de la Trinitat Vella to link up with Avinguda Meridiana
It will be suitable for both pedestrians and cyclists and will increase the greenery in the area
The exhibition will provide a comprehensive historical and social account of how water has been used over time
It will have a physical and virtual space that will also highlight the history of the pumping stations – locally known as cases de l’aigua – in the districts of La Trinitat Vella and La Trinitat Nova
The Rec Comtal is a key piece of the puzzle in understanding the economic and social development of the last 1,000 years of Barcelona’s history
As well as assessing the ecological state of the canal
the project aims to improve and adapt this habitat through the ecological restoration of the banks
the reintroduction of native aquatic species and the reforestation of suitable areas along the Rec
It is connected to the Rec Comtal Master Plan
which includes 33 points of intervention to create quality spaces and recover the irrigation canal as a green infrastructure and urban route
The project is part of City Council’s aim to deconcentrate the city’s tourist offer by creating new attractions that are also of interest to residents

Urban Planning and Mobility Area is responsible for providing municipal services linked to the public areas and city services which make life easier for people who live and work in the city.
The City Council seeks to ensure a quality public space
a green and biodiverse city that is productive and resilient
a city committed to active and sustainable mobility with public involvement and commitment
Urban Planning and Mobility Area has different instruments as well as advisory and participatory bodies for effective involvement and collaboration in municipal projects with the general public
The Council sees to the smooth running of the city services
to ensure the daily wellbeing of the public and contribute towards the city's development
The goal is to supply 1,010 vulnerable families living within a 500-metre radius of municipal solar pergolas in public spaces
able to benefit from the shared self-consumption regime to receive free solar energy
Estimates suggest this could result in a saving of 25% on energy bills
The pilot project gets under way with eleven solar installations in public space
potentially rising to twenty in a second stage and increasing the 1,010 households to over 3,000
an information campaign will be run for families complying with the criteria and wishing to take part in the project
priority will be given according to vulnerability criteria and a draw organised if necessary
Families wishing to benefit can start doing so in roughly two or three months and will take part for a minimum period of one year
receiving 500 W of energy in their households
The ultimate goal is to open up this initiative to the rest of citizens and businesses too
The project is one of the instruments promoted by the City Council to speed up the energy transition in the city. The initiative comes within the context of the goals in the Barcelona Climate Emergency Declaration
which backs a fair energy transition to improve the current model for the generation and consumption of energy
The project begins with the solar pergola at the Ronda de Dalt
with a capacity for supplying 40 families in the vicinity
The rest of the pergolas are in the following locations
