Hola Barcelona!

Barcelona has a wide range of services, activities and facilities, which Barcelona Global wants to be known and available to the international talent living in our city. Hola Barcelona! Pack is a goody bag full of discounts and benefits designed for the association’s international members, including culture, sport, leisure, institutions, transport and the media, in the following institutions.

The task of integrating Barcelona's international community has been taken up by our members, who open up their homes and host dinner gatherings to connect internationals with locals and help them to build a social network. Since 2014 a total of 98 dinners have been held, with 959 participants, 60% of whom were from outside of Spain.

Barcelona attracts millions of tourists but has not been so good at welcoming the foreign nationals who have decided to live and work in our city. Seven years ago, Barcelona Global decided to break the ice: each September, with the collaboration of the Ajuntament, we hold a welcome event, which is attended by more than 1500 people, including internationals of 80 nationalities.

Barcelona is a city where things constantly happen. To the wide offer of local activities, there are more and more international events choosing Barcelona as the location for their celebration. From Barcelona Global, we want to bring all these big appointments to our members and we encourage their participation.
