Barcelona is such a popular tourist destination that it is needless to explain where it is or to say how beautiful the city is. If you have decided to head towards that wonderful city in Spain, most probably you have researched the historical landmarks and the cultural sites that you should visit and maybe you have checked which are the nice places are to dine and which to avoid. Here, I will try to give some information of interest to those who want to visit Barcelona in the next weeks or so and who are more interested in the upcoming city events.

 

Among the upcoming events that need to be mentioned is the Barcelona International Boat Show, which starts on 5th November and will last until 13th November. Since this will be the 50th edition of the boat show there will be many conferences and activities going on, directed at the industry dealing with the production of nautical materials and manufacture of boats. The Barcelona International Boat Show will take place in Fira Barcelona, which is among the oldest venues for exhibitions in the city. The venue has two exhibition centres – Montjuic and Gran Via, which is the bigger of the two with its 200 000 sq.m that will soon be made even larger. There, at Gran Via hall of Fira Barcelona will be arranged the Salo Nautico exhibition, which is directed at professionals and amateurs.

 

Another upcoming event that will take place in the city of Barcelona on 12th  November is the Monster Jam 2011, which is a live motor sport tour. The event will be organised at Estadi Olimpic in Barcelona and will present various racing competitions and free style competitions with monster trucks. Estadi Olimpic is a venue for many sport activities and events in Barcelona, including the Monster Jam 2011 event. It has capacity for 70 000 people. The other sports event that will take place in Barcelona in November is the Jean Bouin Memorial Running Competition, which is held on 20th November. This sports event is a tribute to the famous French athlete Jean Bouin and is among the oldest running competitions in Spain, since it was held for the first time back in year 1920.
