About
Barcelona's beloved children's literary festival is back, and this year it's all about space, inspired by the playful philosophy of Georges Perec. Expect oral storytelling for every age, hands-on workshops in writing, poetry, and visual arts, live performances, two cozy reading nooks with handpicked books, and a one-of-a-kind exhibition built to be explored. Free, joyful, and the kind of weekend kids remember for years.
