Hannah BetsonSick of drinking alcohol? It can be difficult sometimes to find activities and ways to meet new people that don’t involve alcohol in a very outgoing city like Barcelona which has great nightlife and hundreds of clubs and bars. However, consider that problem solved as listed below are many new activities for you to try out without the alcohol.
City girls who walk:
This organisation was set up by Fernanda Grace. It started out as a WhatsApp group that got girls in Barcelona to meet up and go for a walk. They now arrange events such as paddle boarding and brunch, beach clean-ups, workouts and after-work events. It has grown into a fantastic organisation that allows you to make loads of new friends from all over the world. Their next walk is on Sunday the 28th at 1 pm at the All Those Food Market!

Pottery:
La Ceramicaria is a fantastic activity if you are spending a few days in Barcelona or even just want to meet new people. They have nearly 34 thousand followers on Instagram and have recently opened another location in Sants. At la ceramicaria, you pick from their many ceramic pieces and have two hours to paint them. You then pay for the piece and they fire it and glaze it and in about a week, it’s ready for collection. They also have loyalty cards if you really enjoy it.
