The museum will occupy the former Comèdia cinema, an ornate building in the Eixample district facing onto the Passeig de Gràcia, one of Barcelona's busiest thoroughfares. Originally constructed as a residence, it was transformed into a theatre in the 1930s and became home to the Comèdia in 1960. Long a well-known landmark, the cinema shut last year after years of declining ticket sales.

"The offer we had from Saudi Arabia really tempted me," "It would have solved not just my personal life, but also the lives of my parents, my son... a lot of people. "Obviously, we thought about leaving [Barcelona]. I thought it might be time to leave, but then we talked to [Flick], first on the phone and then at the beginning of the preseason, and he managed to convince me to stay. I'm glad he did."

Five terrestrial units of Barcelona firefighters were deployed to the scene, located in the Eixample neighbourhood in front of Casa de les Punxes, after emergency services received a call about the fire at approximately 5:00pm. The fire had started on the bus, which was at the intersection of Avinguda Diagonal and Carrer de Rosselló. As officials jumped into action, both streets, as well as the nearby Carrer Roger de Llúria, were blocked to traffic, according to the Barcelona City Council.

Barcelona is once again at the centre of a transport storm - and this time, it could spell disaster for ride-hailing giants like Uber, Cabify and Bolt. A new law being pushed through the Catalan Parliament threatens to all but push these platforms off the streets of the city, reducing them to a background role while taxis regain almost total control.

Barcelona is about to get a lot more eyes on its streets. City Hall has confirmed plans to install 1,000 new CCTV cameras over the coming years, a major jump from the 160 currently in place. Mayor Jaume Collboni said the first cameras will appear in Ciutat Vella and along the waterfront, two of the city's busiest - and often most troubled - areas.

However, after revenue increased to €994m, ($1.16 billion) up €100m ($116m) on the previous year, Barça said the results continue the "consolidation of the club's economic recovery" following years of financial struggles. The main factors for the rise in turnover are attributed to a new agreement with Nike, a boost in merchandising sales, improved results on the pitch and higher attendances at the Olympic Stadium.

Barcelona are interested in signing Kobbie Mainoo from Manchester United in the January transfer window, according to Fichajes. Gavi has suffered a long-term injury and will be on the sidelines for a number of months, with last season's La Liga winners now looking at a potential deal for Mainoo. Mainoo wanted to leave Man United on a loan deal in the summer of 2025, but the Red Devils stopped him from leaving.

All four players will be out of action until at least after the international break, meaning they will miss Sunday's game against Real Sociedad, the Champions League clash with Paris Saint-Germain next Wednesday and the trip to Sevilla on Oct. 5. On a more positive note, both Lamine Yamal and Alejandro Balde trained on Friday and could return from their respective injuries against Real Sociedad this weekend.

Barcelona's iconic Magic Fountain of Montjuïc has burst back into life after lying dry for three years, delighting surprised visitors who happened to be passing on Tuesday, September 23. The city landmark, famous for its dazzling water and light displays, was quietly switched on for a one-hour test run ahead of its official reopening. For those who stumbled across it, the moment felt like a gift: some rushed to take photos, others cheered,

Primavera Sound has done it again with a spectacular 2026 lineup led by The Cure, Gorillaz, Massive Attack, My Bloody Valentine, Doja Cat, The xx, Father John Misty, Slowdive, Kneecap, and more. Following the lead of Coachella, the Barcelona-based music festival has chosen to unveil its lineup earlier than usual this year. The fully-realized bill boasts 150 acts in total, with other highlights including Skrillex, PinkPantheress, Ethel Cain,

Primavera Sound is more than an event; it's a vibrant tapestry woven into the very fabric of Barcelona's identity. Since its inception in 2001, the festival has become synonymous with this charismatic city, creating a dynamic exchange where both the festival and Barcelona thrive together. Much like the iconic monuments of its streets, the festival moulds the city's cultural landscape, while Barcelona, in turn, enriches the experience of the festival-goers.

Barcelona's proposal to extend the tramway along Diagonal, connecting Verdaguer and Francesc Macià, is gaining momentum. First Deputy Mayor Laia Bonet confirmed that two essential proposals will be put to a vote to enable the extension: the construction of the new water collector and the redevelopment of Diagonal. Securing enough support from city council members remains a fundamental requirement before any works can proceed.

Barcelona's squad spending limit has dropped to €351 million ($411.8m) -- down €112m from last winter -- while Real Madrid's has increased to €761m, LaLiga said on Friday. The league's squad cost limits, which are made public after each transfer window, denote the maximum amount that each club is permitted to spend on first-team players, as well as coaching staff, reserve and youth teams.

The club had been granted permission to play their first three fixtures away from home to allow the completion of construction work. But even with a little extra time thanks to the international break that followed, the club haven't yet obtained documents that allow it to open. The Olympic Stadium, used as their substitute home ground for the past two seasons, is the venue for a Post Malone concert two days before the match ruling it out of use for Sunday.

"The doors opened and the first person I saw was Tino Asprilla," Gillespie said. "He was standing there waiting on me. It was quite surreal because he's somebody you don't expect to see in Bangor Golf Club. "It was a lovely surprise. I was just made up that someone would actually make that effort to fly in for an evening."

Barcelona have confirmed Camp Nou will not be ready to host Sunday's game against Getafe in LaLiga, forcing them to relocate their second match in a week. Barca last played at Camp Nou in May 2023, with the Estadi Olimpic Lluis Companys at Montjuic becoming their temporary home during a €1.5billion renovation. They were due to return to Camp Nou for last Sunday's meeting with Valencia, after playing their first three games of the season away from home.

Newcastle United, backed by the financial firepower of the Saudi Public Investment Fund (PIF), are reportedly preparing to make a club-record bid for Dani Olmo, the Barcelona attacking midfielder. According to Spanish outlet E-Noticies, Olmo would be ready to depart Barca if the right offer comes, and that Newcastle are poised to trigger that moment with an offer in the region of 90 million (around 78m).

AN EXCAVATION in what could perhaps be considered Barcelona's most iconic street has unveiled a section of an old wall that surrounded the city in the 14th century. The breathtaking archaeological find was unearthed in the Santa Mònica sector of La Rambla, and experts estimate that the overall length of the wall to document along the street will reach nearly 100 metres. The work in the area has been underway since mid-July and is led by archaeologist Irene Cruz,
