Further progress in the transformation of the bus station: all services will be concentrated on the same floor, with a single passenger entrance on Carrer Nàpols helping to improve the flow of users and connections with other means of transport  

The station will remain fully operational during the work, which should take around one year

With over 2.6 million passengers and nearly 150,000 tickets issued a year, Barcelona Nord is the main centre for bus and coach departures and arrivals connecting with national and international destinations 

Barcelona City Council has given its preliminary approval to the executive project for the renovation of the spaces and services at the Barcelona Nord bus station. Led and managed by Barcelona de Serveis Municipals (BSM), the project will bring a new stage of work to revamp the bus station, the goal being to continue guaranteeing the best experience for passengers and the transport companies that use the facility.

The project plans to concentrate all the services at the station on the same floor and establish a single passenger entrance on Carrer Nàpols. These two changes will help improve the flow of passengers inside the terminal, offer a better user experience and support intermodality by strengthening the connection with the Arc de Triomf metro station and Rodalies (local trains) station. 

This new stage of work has a budget of 10 million euros, 4.8 million coming from European Next Generation funds as part of the Destination Barcelona Sustainable Tourism Plan (PSTDB).

Work is expected to get under way at the end of the year and conclude in 2026. The bus station will remain fully operational while the work is carried out.

The project continues the transformation of Barcelona Nord started in 2021, which allowed some tourist trip services previously making stops on public streets to be relocated to the bus station, helping to improve mobility in the city.  

“This new stage in the transformation of Barcelona Nord means better services for the bus station and a more streamlined experience for users, while at the same time benefiting connectivity with the Arc de Triomf station”, said First Deputy Mayor and chair of BSM, Laia Bonet. “With over 2.6 million passengers and nearly 150,000 tickets issued a year, the Barcelona Nord bus station is the city’s main centre for bus and coach departures and arrivals connecting with national and international destinations, and we’re working for it to be well equipped and offer a service as a mobility hub of the highest order”. 

All the services at the bus station will be located on the ground floor, which will have a single passenger entrance

On a structural level, the most significant change in the new stage of work on Barcelona Nord will see all services concentrated on the same floor.

The floor will also be a more open-plan area, favouring the flow of people. This will be achieved by opening up new indoor walkways throughout the terminal and the creation of new waiting areas and eatery spaces.

The other notable change is that the bus station with have a single entrance and exit for passengers. The entrance will be located on Carrer Nàpols and help optimise the flow of passengers and improve accessibility and connectivity with the Arc de Triomf metro and Rodalies (local trains) station. 

Eating options at the bus station will also be redefined, with new eateries to suit users’ preferences. The terminal will offer a wide range of eating options throughout the day to cater for the different needs of passengers. These will be complemented by other eating options outside the façade of the building, opening up the bus station to the city.

The whole project around the bus station will respect the unique features of the building, listed as a cultural asset of local interest. The building will get more modern finishes, warm and welcoming new lighting, vegetation and new elements to improve sound levels at the station. Passenger information systems will also be adapted to make them more inclusive.

From an environmental perspective, and in line with BSM’s aim of contributing to sustainability and decarbonisation, the station will also have solar panelling to cover part of the building’s energy consumption. This will be installed on the roof of the building.  

The Wilhelm Freak Show headlines a special programme running from 28 September to 3 November 

Visitors to Tibidabo will have the opportunity to watch a new horror film at the Beyond virtual reality attraction and meet new characters from Espai 666

Horror and illusions will take centre stage in the evenings at Parc d’atraccions Tibidabo during the Halloween special programme, which will run from 28 September to 3 November. For the second consecutive year, the highlight of the season will be the Wilhelm Freak Show, in which around fifteen characters from Hotel 666 will display their darkest and most astonishing skills in the Plaça dels Somnis square. 

The performance is based on the artistic genre of the freak show, which brings together individuals with unusual abilities. At the helm of this showcase of eccentric characters is Wilhelm, the master of ceremonies, who will present the mysterious creatures he has rescued over the years. 

In its debut in 2023, the Wilhelm Freak Show attracted over 12,600 spectators, making it the highlight of the Halloween lineup at Tibidabo. This year, the show will return to the Plaça dels Somnis square and will start 30 minutes before the park closes.  

Halloween decorations and new attractions

In addition to hosting the Wilhelm Freak Show, Tibidabo will present new attractions and a special Halloween atmosphere. During this spooky season, visitors to the Espai 666 will be able to interact and take pictures with characters such as Jason and Leatherface. 

Another major draw at Tibidabo during this period is the virtual reality attraction Beyond, which will feature Traumatika, a spine-tingling zombie film. For Halloween, the park will welcome back an iconic character: the spooky violinist Murphy, who will wander around to surprise and scare guests. 

Tibidabo will also feature face painting and makeup services on certain Halloween days, so that children can transform into monsters for a day.

The amusement park closed out the summer with 223,000 visitors over the 45 days it opened in July and August

40,800 people have enjoyed the new freefall attraction since it opened on 27 July

Over 223,000 people visited Tibidabo in the summer, a rise of 8.3% compared to 2023, when the amusement park recorded 205,800 visitors. The park opened on 45 days in July and August, the same number of days as the previous year. 

One of the biggest attractions at Tibidabo in the summer was the Merlí. Since it opened on 27 July, some 40,800 people have enjoyed the new freefall ride which lifts fairgoers 500 metres above sea level and offers the finest views of Barcelona before finally starting to drop. 

The introduction of the Merlí was the main achievement in a summer when visitors to Tibidabo were able to enjoy other new attractions such as new shows and 4D films at the Marionetarium and the Dididado cinema; the night-time display of lights, colours and music that make up the Laser Show and some new on-site eateries. 

The summer also provided a chance for many visitors to discover some of the other rides and attractions that Tibidabo has opened in recent months, such as the new Espai 666 horror experience and the CreaTibi room by Lego Education, an educational activity in collaboration with Abacus Educació to promote science vocations among young children. 

Along with these new attractions, the park’s most iconic rides and activities continued to draw families and children. Many of them were able to go on Tibidabo’s historical rides for the first time, such as the Carrusel, the Giradabo and the Avió. 

Return of the school year with solidarity days, education and culture

As the school year gets under way again, Tibidabo rounds off its summer season and regains its usual calendar, opening at the weekends. Besides maintaining its usual range of attractions and entertainment, the amusement park will be hosting an intense programme of solidarity days, educational and cultural activities in September. 

The park will be hosting the solidarity festival Uncopdemà this weekend, organised by the Fundació Migranodearena in aid of children in vulnerable situations, and Posa’t la Gorra, the Afanoc day to support children and teenagers with cancer. 

Tibidabo and the Institut de Recerca Sant Pau will also be organising a day on 21 September to promote research with a gender perspective and to foster science vocations, while on Saturday 28 the amusement park will be welcoming over 500 people to take part in the dance for the Jornada Casa de la Sardana.  

Over 60,800 school pupils visited the park during the 2023-2024 academic year through the programmes ‘El Park Güell i les escoles’ and ‘Les escoles de Gràcia i el Park Güell’

Besides the visits, Park Güell has a calendar of educational options for schools with activities such as STEAM Park Güell, LEGO workshops and special events for Christmas and Sant Jordi

Park Güell gets its programme of school visits for the 2024-2025 academic year under way on Tuesday, enabling students from European schools to discover its architectural heritage and surroundings. In all, 60,800 children from 23 different countries were able to visit the park during the last academic year, discovering the site, its architecture and the legacy of Gaudí’s work.

The programme ‘El Park Güell i les escoles’ is aimed at all year groups from schools in the European Union. Over 60,000 pupils from European schools took part in the project during the 2023-2024 academic year. 

For its part, the goal of ‘Les escoles de Gràcia i el Park Güell’ is to give local schools in the vicinity of the park a chance to discover its architecture. The activity is organised by BSM in collaboration with the teaching resources centre in Gràcia, the district council and the Museu d’Història de Barcelona (MUHBA), which during the last academic year brought 800 pupils from 12 neighbourhood schools to the site. 

A park open to schools

As well as facilitating school visits, Park Güell organises several guided activities for pupils during the year. The site will become a large open-air laboratory in November as it hosts the second STEAM Park Güell, the project organised by BSM and the UPC to foster science vocations among students which brought together over 560 youngsters last year. 

Another star activity at Park Güell are its LEGO workshops, which this year are being held over the weekends of 28 and 29 September, 26 and 27 October, and 23 and 24 November. This educational activity enables participants to create figures based on Gaudí’s creations, a way of boosting their creativity. 

The calendar of activities for schoolchildren also includes the Christmas and St Jordi activities ‘Vestim el Park Güell de Nadal’ and ‘Sant Jordi i el drac del Park Güell’, which foster participation in the park’s programme among pupils from schools in its vicinity. 

The Port Olímpic will serve as the headquarters of the 12 teams participating in the UniCredit Youth America’s Cup and in the first edition of the Puig Women’s America’s Cup

The training sessions for two competitions will begin next week, which highlight young nautical talents and the growing participation of women in this sport

Starting this week, the Port Olímpic will host the headquarters of the youth and women's teams of the America’s Cup, becoming the nerve centre of two of the main events on the competition's calendar. The twelve participating teams will use the Moll de Xaloc as their centre of operations, where they will prepare the AC40s, the vessels they’ll sail to vie for the UniCredit Youth America’s Cup and the Puig Women’s America’s Cup, which are slated to begin on 17 September and 5 October, respectively. 

This Friday, the Mayor of Barcelona, Jaume Collboni, visited the facility along with the CEO of America’s Cup Event, Grant Dalton; the competition coordinator, Abby Ehler; the Councillor for Sports, David Escudé; and representatives from all the teams. 

The mayor, Jaume Collboni, said that “welcoming the women's and youth teams of the America’s Cup positions Barcelona, and especially the Port Olímpic, as a global benchmark in the world of sailing”. “The city is continuing its efforts to make sailing a sport that is accessible to everyone. We want to be a benchmark not only in international competitions but also in promoting sailing among people here”, the mayor added. 

Grant Dalton, CEO of America's Cup Event, said: “By coming to Barcelona for the Louis Vuitton 37th America's Cup, we want to take a step further and have an impact in terms of diversity. Reviving the UniCredit Youth America's Cup and creating the Puig Women's America's Cup enable us to create a way for young athletes and women to reach the peak of sailing in a competition that enables their talent to shine on a global stage with a new kind of state-of-the-art vessel, the AC40. And to achieve this, we've found the best installations for the joint technical base here at the Port Olímpic. The transformation it has undergone is incredible, and it's an ideal place for the UniCredit Youth and Puig Women's America's Cup teams”.

A historic event

Starting next week, the youth teams —with sailors under the age of 25— will leave the Port Olímpic to start their training with their sights set on the third edition of the UniCredit Youth America’s Cup, which is scheduled for 17 to 26 September on Barcelona's waterfront. 

The women's teams, in turn, will begin to prepare for an event on 28 September which is historic, because Barcelona will be hosting the first Puig Women’s America’s Cup between 5 and 13 October. Abby Ehler highlighted this milestone when she stated that “it offers a platform and an opportunity for women sailors all over the world who have never before participated in a competition of this calibre, creating elite role models that will inspire the next generation of girls who love sailing”.

In addition to the six official participants in the 37th America’s Cup representing New Zealand, Great Britain, Italy, Switzerland, the United States and France, the youth and women's competitions are also adding six new candidate teams from Spain, the Netherlands, Canada, Germany, Sweden and Australia. 

Promotion of sailing

With the arrival of the youth and women's America's Cup competitions, the Port Olímpic will host its first major sporting event since it reopened last July. Both competitions are international showcases that bring visibility to both promising young sailors and the increasing number of women participating in this sport, thus aligning itself with one of the goals of the Port Olímpic’s transformation, namely to promote a model of sailing that is accessible to all audiences. 

In order to reach this goal, in addition to hosting major competitions, the Port Olímpic’s calendar also includes dozens of popular regattas whose participation numbers are increasing every year, such as the Regata Ophiusa, the Regata 4 Clubs and the Regata Polar.

The Port Olímpic is also ahead of the game in promoting inclusive sailing by hosting events like the Regatta for Alzheimer's, organised by the Catalunya La Pedrera Foundation and the Veles per l’Alzheimer Association, in which more than 200 people affected by this disease participated this year. 

With its transformation, the Port Olímpic has also promoted the remodel of the Municipal Sailing Centre (CMV). With its new installations, it will be able to boost its activity with the goal of bringing the practice of sailing to city residents, especially young people. 

Next weekend, the Plane, the Pirate Ship and the Tibidabo Express will host physics tests and experiments for all audiences

Activities at the Park will include shows and an escape room, showcasing women’s contributions to science

On Sunday, the OpenBrains group will be launching the scientific activities with the show ‘The Three Neurons’, which demonstrates our brains’ process from the moment it receives a stimulus to when it generates a response. In the afternoon, the CreaTibi Hall will again be transformed into the escape room activity ‘Engranatges perduts’. Physics Week will conclude with a grand finale featuring Bi, the Tibidabo mascot, and the Nautilus Association’s retro-futuristic characters. 

Awareness-raising, educational and cultural activities at Tibidabo

Physics Week kicks of a busy September for Tibidabo, with several awareness-raising, educational and cultural activities. This coming Saturday, 7 September, the amusement park will host Visió per Tothom [Sight for Everyone] day, organised by the Fundació Ramon Martí i Bonet to projects aimed at the early care, detection and prevention of childhood blindness. 

On Saturday 14 September, Tibidabo will host the Uncopdemà [Lend a Hand] fundraising festival organised by the Migranodearena Foundation to help vulnerable children. The next day, the amusement park host Afanoc’s Posa’t la Gorra [Put on Your Hat] event to support children and adolescents with cancer. 

Science will return to the amusement park on 21 September with a new event co-organised by Tibidabo and the Sant Pau Research Institute aimed at promoting research with a gender perspective and encouraging careers in science. 

This busy month at Tibidabo will come to a close on Saturday 28 September, when more than 500 people will participate in Casa de la Sardana dance event. 

The event, which is taking place on Sunday, will give highlight initiatives for conserving and protecting primates and their habitats 

Visitors will have the opportunity to get to know the primates that are currently kept at the Zoo and the particular features of species such as chimpanzees, gorillas, grey-cheeked mangabeys and drills

The Zoo currently participates in projects aimed at protecting primates in countries such as Borneo, Ghana and the Democratic Republic of the Congo

This Sunday, Zoo de Barcelona is celebrating International Primate Day. Over the course of the morning, the Zoo will be hosting a series of activities that will give visitors the opportunity to get to know the different species and to raise their awareness of the challenges faced in conserving and protecting these animals and their habitats. 

During the day, there will be a number of educational activities and talks in which the keepers and carers will present some of the species kept at the Zoo, such as chimpanzees, gorillas, grey-cheeked mangabeys and drills, and they will explain some of their particular features. 

Collaborating and participating in the day are entities such as the Borneo Nature Foundation (BNF), which works to protect and conserve the forests and biodiversity of this south-east Asian island; West African Primate Conservation Action (WAPCA), dedicated to the conservation of endangered primates and their habitats in Ghana and Ivory Coast; and SOS Primates, whose mission is to raise awareness of the status of primates in nature and to actively participate in initiatives for their conservation and protection. 

The three organisations will participate in the day with information stands and outreach activities. 

Projects for the conservation and protection of primates

This day event organised by Zoo de Barcelona aims to raise public awareness of the problems faced in the conservation of primates and their habitats and the role played by Zoos, associations and NGOs in the conservation of these species.  

As well as caring for the primates currently kept there, Zoo de Barcelona also actively participates in different projects aimed at protecting these animals in their countries of origin. In Borneo, the Zoo collaborates with the BNF (Borneo Nature Foundation) in forest conservation projects on this island and in monitoring orangutans and endangered animals. With the WAPCA it carries out projects in Ghana to support the conservation of the white-naped mangabey, while in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the Zoo and SOS Primates support the country’s primate rescue and rehabilitation centres.

The species, which is native to the Himalayas, is in danger of extinction according to the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN)  

Her arrival at the Barcelona Zoo is part of the red panda European Ex Situ Endangered Species Programme (EEP) and aims to boost its population 

Barcelona Zoo has recently welcomed a female red panda (Ailurus fulgens) by the name of Diki. The species is native to the Himalayas and is threatened with extinction according to the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN). 

Diki’s arrival at Barcelona Zoo is part of the red panda European Ex Situ Endangered Species Programme (EEP) run by the European Association of Zoos and Aquaria (EAZA) and aims to boost its population.

This female red panda arrived in Barcelona on 28 June of this year from the Parc Animalier d’Auvergne (France). She is one year old and, following a few days of acclimatising to Barcelona Zoo, she has been living with Hindi, a two-year old male already here, for some weeks now.   

A vulnerable species due to the destruction of its natural habitat 

The red panda (Ailurus fulgens) is a small, endangered mammal according to the UICN and protected by the CITES convention, an international agreement that regulates the trade in threatened species.    

The red panda population occupies a narrow strip along the Himalayan mountain range from Nepal to China. The main threats it faces are pressure from humans, whether through agriculture or bamboo deforestation, illegal hunting, and climate change.

As a result of this situation, conservation efforts are currently focused on ex situ breeding programmes, outside their natural habitat, such as the EAZA programme, which Barcelona Zoo participates in and which has made the arrival of this specimen possible. 

The red panda is an animal that lives alone or in pairs. Nocturnal and almost arboreal, it moves through the trees with great agility but has no problem getting down to the ground to move around and feed. It is a very peaceful and gentle animal. 

Today, there are two known subspecies: Ailurus fulgens fulgens, which is found in the Himalayas, from Nepal to Assam (India), and which can be seen at Barcelona Zoo; and Ailurus fulgens styani, present in northern Burma and southern China. 

Its name refers to the fact that it bears some resemblance to the well-known giant panda or panda bear. However, it is regarded as belonging to different zoological families. 

The zoo keepers are taking special measures to ensure the animals’ health and well-being during episodes of intense heat

The drinking troughs are filled more often, and ice cream adapted to each species’ diet is being made

The Zoo is keeping up different water control and savings measures and is also participating in a pilot test to regenerate water left over from cleaning 

Just like every year, the Zoo de Barcelona has taken a series of special measures for the summer months to mitigate the effects of high temperatures on the animals in its care. This care complements the daily tasks carried out by the zoo keepers looking after the animals and is in line with how the Zoo constantly strives for animal health and welfare.

Due to its prime location near Ciutadella Park and its lush vegetation, the Zoo de Barcelona records an average of three degrees lower temperatures than the rest of the city. Still, during episodes of intense heat, the Zoo activates a special protocol to ensure that different species are better able to handle the heat.

One of the priorities is ensuring that the animals are well hydrated. To do this, the Zoo puts more drinking troughs in its facilities and refills the water more often to ensure it is cool. It also steps up efforts to clean and replenish the baths and mud patches used by some species, which play an important role in regulating the temperatures of animals like warthogs and elephants.

Other species like bison, buffaloes and elephants are also wetted down using hoses or sprinklers. The cats’ and bears’ indoor areas are equipped with fans to stir up the air and control the temperature. 

The food is also adapted during hot periods. Some examples are frozen fruit and ice cream made of broth or fruit juice offered to the primates, ice cubes with fruit for giraffes and worm-based iced drinks for the mongooses and meerkats.

The Zoo de Barcelona lowers its water consumption  

All these actions are being done while trying to save as much water as possible, given the sustained drought over the past few years. Within this context, the Zoo has been taking water control and savings measures for over a year, making it possible to go from consuming 1,500 m3 in 2018 to 900 m3 today.

The water control and conservation measures in place at the Zoo include implementing a water consumption monitoring system and another system to detect leaks. It has also lowered the frequency with which it cleans and empties the lakes outside the summer season while always ensuring the animals’ hygiene and well-being. 

Plus, a drip irrigation system has been installed in the new landscaped areas being built, and tests with plants with lower water needs are also being conducted.

A pilot plant to regenerate water left over from cleaning the Zoo 

Parallel to these measures to use water more efficiently, for the past few months, the Zoo de Barcelona has participated in the project ‘Water Resources Management in Zoos – FIT4USE Water Recirculation Technology’ funded by the European Union via the LIFE programme. This project aims to find solutions so zoos can optimise their use of water, an essential resource in their day-to-day operations.

Within the framework of this project, the Zoo will have a pilot regeneration plant for water left over from cleaning its facilities. The plant will operate using a system similar to wetlands, where plants and microorganisms serve as natural purification systems. The treated water will be reused within the Zoo for watering, cleaning or filling naturalised ponds. 

Awareness-raising will be an important part of the project, which is people-centred. Interpretative and interactive elements will be installed around the plant to allow visitors to learn about and appreciate the key role played by wetlands, heavily threatened ecosystems which are retreating on the planet, as well as their crucial importance in the water cycle as reservoirs and filters and their high value in preserving biodiversity.

The plant, which will be ready by the summer of 2025, will be located near the naturalised ponds and designed so visitors can see how the water is filtered. The Zoo previously engaged in educational actions related to this project, like a survey to assess citizens’ level of knowledge and awareness of water management and the consequences of climate change. 

This LIFE project is coordinated by the Technical University of Liberec and has a budget of around 2.7 million euros. In addition to the Zoo de Barcelona, other participants include the University of Barcelona Solidarity Foundation, the University of Girona via the Chemical and Environmental Engineering Laboratory research group, the Liberec Zoo and the Photon Water Technology group, experts in water treatment. There is also a group of external experts involving the Valencia Biopark and the Cabárceno Nature Park, among others.
