Dinner, film, and the odd night out — for Guille, Mireia, and Oliver.

Booked
Mireia bought these in September, which makes her the only person in the family who has planned anything. Flamenco guitar, “40 años: entre cuerdas y tiempo” tour, in a hall that looks like a stained-glass cake.
2 tickets held · Platea, Acceso Principal · seats 11 & 13. Open tickets from Mireia’s TheProject email or Wallet (the receipt isn’t a ticket).
1
OBC + Orfeó Català under Morlot. A whole choir singing about resurrection, which is roughly how you’ll feel by Friday after AA 112.
Longish sit; Oliver OK if he likes big orchestra/choir. Blai Soler Cassandra opens.
2
Romeo and Juliet, but Bellini gives Romeo to a mezzo, so the most romantic man on stage is a woman. Prefer Wed Nov 11 (Lisette Oropesa / Raffaella Lupinacci cast).
Long for Oliver; Tue is alternate cast. Jet-lag: Wed is safer than Mon/Tue.
3
Abduraimov in Rachmaninov 3 plus Smetana’s Má vlast: an orchestra flew in from Prague, so the jet lag is at least mutual. Fully seated.
The day after landing. Rachmaninov 3 is a lot of notes to absorb on Spanish time minus six hours. If sleep didn’t hold, Capuleti Wed or Mahler at the weekend.
Mireia’s pick. Kiefer’s first solo show in Barcelona, from the Grothe Collection, inside Gaudí’s least straight building.
Some Kiefer work deals with German history and WWII memory, so it isn’t all plants. Closed Dec 25.
The 33rd indie fest, best cinema week in town. Seated screens, and no one in a Sagrada Família T-shirt asking where the popcorn is.
Exact opener time posts closer to the week — check Alternativa calendar. Family sessions exist in Paralelas.
Diop retrospective paired with the fest — sharp VO arthouse when you want one film, not a whole night of concerts.
Confirm Filmoteca session times on the Alternativa / Filmoteca calendars; no invented showtimes.
Market Catalan, family-easy. The “we just landed and nobody can make decisions” dinner. Croquetas, no ambition required.
Book via CoverManager or the site form; say if a stroller’s coming.
Seasonal Catalan in a garden room since 1982. In Barcelona restaurant years that makes it basically immortal.
No Sat dinner; go Tue–Fri. TheFork widget on their reservations page.
