[Join our new Whatsapp Group for the latest updates!](https://fk2mqh.s.gy/whatsapp-invite) *Signing up or clicking "RSVP" on a Meetup event does not guarantee a spot. Spots are limited so please reserve your ticket.* ***\>\>[TICKETS](https://luma.com/gtw4x7jg?utm_source=mtup)<<*** Well... I feel like I need to stop mentioning the numbers in these descriptions. First edition: **80+ people signed up.** Second edition: **180+ people signed up.** So naturally, for the third edition you guys decided that wasn't enough and **OVER 220+ PEOPLE SIGNED UP.** For an event where we have roughly **a third of that number in tickets available.** At this point I'm starting to think you're doing this deliberately. Every single edition so far has **sold out**, usually way before the event even starts getting close. And every single time, we get the same question: **WHEN IS THE NEXT ONE?** So obviously... Round 4 🎮 We're doing it again. And considering how many of you keep trying to come, we may have to accept that doing this **every two weeks isn't enough anymore.** We'll have Mario Kart, Poker and plenty of board games again, and we'll keep adding things based on what you guys actually want to play. We're providing the controllers. You lot are providing the questionable behaviour. *And now, of course, the famous ChatGPT-esque list :* 🎮 Mario Kart Tournament 🎲 Board Games ♠️ Poker 🍻 Drinks & Social 😂 Completely unnecessary amounts of trash talk 🤝 Meet new people 🏆 Bragging rights that expire approximately two weeks later ### A quick note about the group: We still filter RSVPs a little. Not because we're trying to be exclusive, but because the atmosphere at these nights has been genuinely amazing, and we'd really like to keep it that way. Also... ### Dress to express. Every edition we'll pick a few of our favourite outfits to feature on Nomad House's Instagram. So don't get scared if you see me walking around with a Polaroid. Whether you're coming to win, lose spectacularly, discover your new favourite board game, or simply make some new friends, we'd love to have you. See you Sunday. \~ Milliardo **One important thing:** Every edition of Mario Kart Night so far has **sold out.** The third edition had **220+ people sign up across Meetup and Luma, more than THREE TIMES the number of tickets we actually had available.** So if you're planning to come, please don't leave getting your ticket until the last minute. **Signing up or clicking "RSVP" on Meetup does NOT guarantee a spot if the event has reached maximum capacity. Only a ticket does.** ***[>>TICKETS<<](https://luma.com/gtw4x7jg?utm_source=mtup)*** ## 🇪🇸 Español Bueno... Creo que voy a tener que dejar de mencionar los números en estas descripciones. Primera edición: **más de 80 personas apuntadas.** Segunda edición: **más de 180 personas apuntadas.** Así que, naturalmente, para la tercera edición decidisteis que eso no era suficiente y **SE APUNTARON MÁS DE 220 PERSONAS.** Para un evento en el que tenemos disponibles aproximadamente **un tercio de ese número en entradas.** A estas alturas empiezo a pensar que lo hacéis a propósito. Todas las ediciones hasta ahora han **agotado entradas**, normalmente bastante antes de que llegue el día del evento. Y cada vez recibimos la misma pregunta: **¿CUÁNDO ES EL PRÓXIMO?** Así que obviamente... **Round 4 🎮** Lo hacemos otra vez. Y viendo cuántos seguís intentando venir, quizá tengamos que aceptar que hacerlo **cada dos semanas ya no es suficiente.** Volveremos a tener Mario Kart, Poker y un montón de juegos de mesa, y seguiremos añadiendo cosas según lo que realmente queráis jugar. Nosotros ponemos los mandos. Vosotros ponéis el comportamiento cuestionable. *Y ahora, por supuesto, la famosa lista estilo ChatGPT:* 🎮 Torneo de Mario Kart 🎲 Juegos de mesa ♠️ Poker 🍻 Bebidas & Social 😂 Cantidades completamente innecesarias de trash talk 🤝 Conoce gente nueva 🏆 Derecho a presumir durante aproximadamente dos semanas ### Una nota rápida sobre el grupo: Seguimos filtrando un poco los RSVPs. No porque intentemos ser exclusivos, sino porque el ambiente de estas noches ha sido realmente increíble y nos gustaría mucho mantenerlo así. Además... ### Dress to express. En cada edición elegiremos algunos de nuestros outfits favoritos para compartirlos en el Instagram de Nomad House. Así que no os asustéis si me veis por ahí con una Polaroid. Tanto si vienes para ganar, perder de forma espectacular, descubrir tu nuevo juego de mesa favorito o simplemente conocer gente nueva, nos encantará tenerte. Nos vemos el domingo. \~ Milliardo **Una cosa importante:** Todas las ediciones de Mario Kart Night hasta ahora han **agotado entradas.** En la tercera edición se apuntaron **más de 220 personas entre Meetup y Luma, más de TRES VECES el número de entradas que teníamos disponibles.** Así que si estás pensando en venir, por favor no dejes la compra de tu entrada para el último momento. **Apuntarte o hacer clic en "RSVP" en Meetup NO garantiza tu plaza si el evento ha alcanzado su capacidad máxima. Solo una entrada garantiza tu plaza.** ***[>>ENTRADAS<<](https://luma.com/gtw4x7jg?utm_source=mtup)***

☆ NEW LOCATION ☆ If you enjoy practising languages, learning about different cultures, and meeting new people, this is the place for you. Everyone knows it’s not easy to learn another language, so let’s help each other and have fun at the same time! We are a small to medium-sized group, usually between 10–20 people. Locals, expats, and travellers are all welcome. The events are free. However, to help cover Meetup’s higher organiser fees, I now accept small contributions. A suggested donation of €0.50 would really help support the group. During the event, please support the bar by ordering at least one drink 🍺☕🍷 Any questions? Send me a message! HOPE TO SEE YOU SOON :) 🇪🇸 Español: Si te gusta practicar idiomas, aprender sobre diferentes culturas y conocer gente nueva, ¡este es el lugar para ti! Todos sabemos que no es fácil aprender otro idioma, así que ayudémonos unos a otros y divirtámonos al mismo tiempo. Somos un grupo pequeño-mediano, normalmente entre 10 y 20 personas. Locales, expatriados y viajeros son todos bienvenidos. Los eventos son gratuitos, pero para ayudar a cubrir los costes más altos de organización de Meetup, ahora acepto pequeñas contribuciones. La donación sugerida es de 0,50 € y ayudaría mucho a apoyar el grupo. Durante el evento, por favor apoya al bar consumiendo al menos una bebida 🍺☕🍷 ¿Alguna pregunta? ¡Envíame un mensaje! ¡ESPERO VERTE PRONTO! :)

🎉 POBLENOU FESTA MAJOR — FIRST NIGHT! 🔥🍻

🎉 POBLENOU FESTA MAJOR — FIRST NIGHT! 🔥🍻

Thu, Sep 10, 5:03 PM
From New in Barcelona – Meet People, Social Events & Expats
4.6

# ### Thursday 10th • 19:03 • Llacuna Metro 🚨 **IMPORTANT SCIENTIFIC DISCOVERY:** Apparently staying home on the **FIRST NIGHT of Festa Major del Poblenou** has been strongly associated with: • excessive Netflix scrolling • conversations with your refrigerator • seeing our photos later and thinking *“dammit… I should have gone”* 🥲 Fortunately, modern medicine has found a cure. **GO OUT.** 😂 🔥 **THURSDAY 10TH — WE’RE INVADING POBLENOU!** It’s the **FIRST DAY**, which means the streets are fresh, the people still have energy, and nobody has yet said: > “I’m never drinking again.” That comes later. 🍻 📍 **MEETING POINT:** Llacuna Metro Station 📅 **Thursday 10th** ⏰ **19:03** Yes. **19:03.** Not 19:00. We are an extremely professional international organization and those extra 3 minutes are obviously essential to the operation. 🧐 The plan? 🍻 Meet a bunch of internationals 😂 Pretend we remember everyone's name 🚶 Explore Festa Major del Poblenou 🎶 Find music, streets, bars and whatever chaos looks promising 🕺 Make questionable decisions regarding dancing 🌍 Meet people from approximately 47 countries ❤️ Possibly make new friends 💘 Possibly meet your future husband/wife (Happened already) 🌯 Possibly just find a kebab (Also happened alredy) **ALL OUTCOMES ARE ACCEPTABLE.** And because this is the **FIRST NIGHT**, you get the beautiful privilege of saying: *"I was there before everyone started talking about it."* 😎 ⚠️ **WARNING ABOUT COMING ALONE** You absolutely can. Most people come alone. Within approximately 17 minutes, you'll probably be discussing rent prices in Barcelona with someone from Argentina, Germany, Italy or a country you previously couldn't locate on a map. That's basically how international friendships work here. 😂 📲 **JOIN THE WHATSAPP GROUP** For updates, meeting-point panic, spontaneous plans and the traditional: **“GUYS WHERE ARE YOU???”** 👉 [https://chat.whatsapp.com/FvnGj8W9tSK2mXyWTltgJo](https://chat.whatsapp.com/FvnGj8W9tSK2mXyWTltgJo) 🔥 **DON’T BE THE PERSON WATCHING THE STORIES FROM BED.** Thursday 10th. Llacuna. 19:03. **Poblenou has a Festa Major.** It would be culturally irresponsible not to investigate. 🍻😂🔥 See you there! 🎉

Tour "La secretos de la Barceloneta: de isla de arena a barrio popular"

Wed, Sep 9, 5:00 PM
From Enjoy Catalonia (tours a Barcelona, excursions i viatges)
4.7

**Pasea por los rincones más interesantes de la Barceloneta, aproxímate a su fascinante historia y disfruta del atardecer con una cervecita delante del mar** Las calles de la Barceloneta, con su pasado marinero e industrial, aún conservan un cierto aire popular y modesto, con balcones llenos de ropa y pequeños bares de toda la vida, siempre impregnados por la luz, los olores y la atmósfera del puerto, de la playa y del mar Mediterráneo. Pero, ¿sabías que el barrio, con sus calles rectilineas y casas modestas, fue construido por iniciativa de los militares? ¿Por qué el «Torín», primera plaza de toros permanente de Barcelona, se convirtió en un símbolo del movimiento obrero? ¿Dónde estaban los famosos baños? ¿Quién vivía en el barrio y en qué condiciones? ¿Qué queda de aquella Barceloneta industrial y marinera? Un tour panorámico muy completo para (re)descurbrir uno de los barrios con más salero de Barcelona y disfrutar del atardecer con una cerveza delante del mar. **EL PLAN** **19h:** Quedamos en la salida del metro Barceloneta **19-20.30h:** Tour guiado "Los secretos de la Barceloneta, de isla de arena a barrio popular" Al finalizar el tour hay la opción de ir a tapear por el barrio **LENGUA:** Castellano **GUÍA:** Toni Bellido (guía **oficial** de Barcelona y Cataluña) **PRECIO:** 10 euros (a pagar al comienzo del tour)
