Is this worth the drive from Barcelona?

Sant Pere de Riudebitlles is about 45 minutes northwest of Barcelona, so it's a solid half-day trip rather than a quick outing. If your kids love puppets or physical theater, Gota is genuinely creative and worth the drive, but B.O.B.A.S on Sunday morning is more of a bonus if you're already in the area.

What's the difference between the two shows?

Gota (Friday 6pm) is a silent object manipulation and physical comedy show, so it works for kids who don't need words to follow along, but it's more artistic than silly. B.O.B.A.S (Saturday noon) is a street show with live music and clown antics, so it's louder and more chaotic fun, and it's free.
