## Full description
Barcelona is a city full of secrets, hidden doors, unmarked alleys, and stories that only locals know. Behind some of these doors lie speakeasies and creative cocktail bars that blend history, culture, and innovation. On this exclusive evening experience, you’ll step into the world of Barcelona’s hidden nightlife, guided by a local insider who knows exactly where to look.
This is not your typical bar crawl. Instead, it’s a carefully curated journey into the city’s most unique speakeasies and stylish hidden bars. Each stop has a story to tell—whether it’s a bar tucked behind an unmarked entrance, a venue styled after the prohibition era, or a creative lounge where mixology is treated like art.
You’ll enjoy a selection of delicious optional (20€ extra for charcuterie tapas board and 3 drinks) tapas, pairing Barcelona’s culinary traditions with its vibrant drinking culture. From classic Catalan bites to modern twists, these small plates are the perfect way to experience local flavors.
Your guide will reveal the fascinating history of speakeasies, the influence of prohibition culture, and the way Barcelona has reimagined it with its own creative flair. You’ll learn how these secret spots became part of the city’s nightlife identity and why locals love them.
By the end of the evening, you won’t just have visited hidden bars—you’ll have experienced a side of Barcelona that few travelers ever see. This is a night of discovery, taste, and connection, ideal for curious travelers, foodies (20€ extra for charcuterie tapas board and 3 drinks), and anyone seeking something beyond the ordinary.
## Includes
Optional (20€ extra for charcuterie tapas board and 3 drinks) charcuterie board of tapas at the first bar and drinks available on a pay-as-you-go basis (Spanish beer, wine, sangria or vermouth).

[ENG] **Ver castellano abajo**
🐬 What about ending your workday from the sea?
Join us for a relaxed Afterwork SUP session in Barcelona. We’ll meet at the SUP rental place in Vila Olímpica and go for an easy paddle along the Barcelona coastline.
It’s a simple and refreshing way to disconnect from the day, move your body, enjoy the sea and share a good moment with nice people.
🍻 After the session, we usually go for a drink together nearby. This part is optional, but honestly… it’s often where the magic continues.
This activity is suitable for all levels. Beginners are welcome. You just need to know how to swim. The activity leader will share some basic SUP tips, fun exercises and help the group feel comfortable on the water.
💰 **Price:** €5 booking fee + €15 board rental if needed
The €5 booking fee is paid online when you book your spot.
This small booking fee helps us organize the group, avoid last-minute no-shows and keep these SUP sessions accessible.
Board rental: +€15
Youu can bring your own SUP board or rent one at the spot.
Paid directly at the rental place.
Rental includes:
* 1h SUP board and paddle rental
* wetsuit when needed
* life jacket
* hot shower and lockers
Free booking fee for Yepalo Club members. Ask us if you want to join the Club :)
🤘 **How to sign up?**

After booking, you can join our Yepalo SUP Barcelona WhatsApp community [HERE](https://chat.whatsapp.com/G8dPlIYjlkP0PePJ5GSWge).
We’ll use the community to share:
🌤️ final weather updates
🌊 sea and wind conditions
📍 meeting point reminders
⚠️ last-minute changes
📅 future SUP dates
Important: different SUP sessions may be shared there, so always check the date and time of the message that applies to your booking.
👙 **What to bring?**
* Swimming suit
* Towel
* Flip-flops
* Sunscreen
* Water
* A long-sleeved shirt, optional
* A lock, optional — there are some lockers with keys there
📍 **Meeting point**
e meet at Club Pati Vela, in Vila Olímpica.
Google Maps might send you on top of the pier — don’t go there.
Go down to the sand in front of Pacha / Shoko, look towards the sea, then walk left along the pier at beach level.
You’ll see small boats on the sand. That’s Club Pati Vela, right under the pier and next to the water.
⚠️ Important. Check the [video](https://onedrive.live.com/?qt=allmyphotos&photosData=%2Fshare%2F6662C017977B635A%2180792%3Fithint%3Dphoto%26e%3DHGF0bJ%26migratedtospo%3Dtrue&cid=6662C017977B635A&id=6662C017977B635A%2180792&redeem=aHR0cHM6Ly8xZHJ2Lm1zL2kvcyFBbHBqZTVjWHdHSm1oUGNZWU9IZWNOR0lGV19RS0E%5FZT1IR0YwYko&v=photos) and [picture](https://onedrive.live.com/?qt=allmyphotos&photosData=%2Fshare%2F6662C017977B635A%2180792%3Fithint%3Dphoto%26e%3DHGF0bJ%26migratedtospo%3Dtrue&cid=6662C017977B635A&id=6662C017977B635A%2180792&redeem=aHR0cHM6Ly8xZHJ2Lm1zL2kvcyFBbHBqZTVjWHdHSm1oUGNZWU9IZWNOR0lGV19RS0E%5FZT1IR0YwYko&v=photos) on how to find the place as the indications on Google Maps are not very clear.
🤓 **Good to know**
SUP depends on sea and wind conditions.
If the sea or wind conditions are not safe, we’ll cancel or reschedule the session.
This is a relaxed group session, not a formal SUP class. The activity leader will share tips and help the group, but everyone is responsible for their own safety on the water.
🌦️ **Weather & cancellation policy**
The €5 booking fee is non-refundable if you cancel or don’t show up.
If we cancel due to unsafe weather or sea conditions, we’ll normally keep your €5 as credit for a future SUP session.
If you’re not based in Barcelona and can’t realistically join another session, let us know and we’ll refund it.

Verás pequeñas barcas en la arena. Eso es Club Pati Vela, justo debajo del espigón y al lado del agua.
⚠️ Importante.

🤓 **Bueno saberlo**
El SUP depende de las condiciones del mar y del viento.
Si las condiciones del mar o del viento no son seguras, cancelaremos o reprogramaremos la sesión.
Es una sesión relajada en grupo, no una clase formal de SUP. El responsable de la actividad compartirá consejos y ayudará al grupo, pero cada persona es responsable de su propia seguridad en el agua.
🌦️ **Meteo y política de cancelación**
La reserva de 5€ no es reembolsable si cancelas o no vienes.
Si cancelamos por condiciones de mar o viento no seguras, normalmente guardaremos tus 5€ como crédito para una futura sesión de SUP.
Si no vives en Barcelona y no puedes venir fácilmente a otra sesión, escríbenos y te lo devolveremos.

CHARLA Trump contra la teocracia iraní: bases culturales del régimen iraní
Hola a tod@s,
Aunque hace unos días os escribí para deciros que no podríamos hacer la charla sobre Irán que os había prometido, finalmente sí será posible.
OJO ESTA CHARLA COMENZARÁ A LAS 11h no a las 11.30h como suele ser habitual
En esta ocasión nos encontraremos para charlar sobre los últimos acontecimientos sucedidos en Irán y para ello contaremos con nuestro PONENTE INVITADO experto en la materia: Se trata del Dr. hispano-libanés Gebrael Abou-Askar.
Algunos ya le conocéis, Gebrael Abou-Askar es licenciado en historia y doctor en relaciones internacionales. Experto en estudios estratégicos y seguridad internacional, especialidad en análisis del terrorismo, insurgencias y grupos armados.
Dedicó su tesis doctoral al análisis del régimen iraní y de Hezbolá.
Actualmente es investigador en seguridad militar y tecnología armamentística, y Profesor de relaciones internacionales en la UAB y de comercio internacional en la Fundación UAB.
Titulo de esta sesión TRUMP CONTRA LA TEOCRACIÍA IRANÍ: BASES CULTURALES DEL RÉGIMEN IRANÍ
SINOPSIS: En esta ocasión realizaremos una charla a caballo entre el presente inmediato y el pasado histórico y cultural de Irán.
Analizaremos el resultado de las acciones militares de Trump sobre Irán.
¿Ha conseguido Trump sus objetivos?
¿Por qué ha fracasado?
¿Qué podemos esperar a partir de ahora?
Sin embargo para comprender mejor la resiliencia del régimen y cómo ha construido los apoyos que le han permitido sobrevivir durante décadas, previamente conoceremos las bases culturales y espirituales de la república islámica iraní.
Se trata de una teocracia chiita con millones de fieles y una profunda historia espiritual detrás, donde, aspectos como el culto al martirio o el esoterismo han jugado un papel clave para su supervivencia social y política.
Todo esto y mucho más en nuestra próxima sesión.
A continuación habrá espacio para vuestras preguntas y tertulia abierta
Lugar: En el primer piso del mítico Café la Opera (Las Ramblas). Sala reservada exclusivamente para nosotros
Aforo limitado. Por favor se ruega compromiso, si no vais a venir desapuntaos previamente.
Precio: 14 Eu (consumición aparte)
Muchas gracias de antemano a tod@s,
¡Os esperamos!
Miguel

Leto (123') - A Watch Party
Put on your sunglasses, hide your rebellious vinyl records from the KGB, and prepare for a night of smoky kitchen debates about rock music and politics that would make any Soviet authority nervous 🎸
Join us and our friend, historian Sergey Nikolsky, as we dive into the world behind *Leto (Summer, 2018)* — Kirill Serebrennikov's Cannes-acclaimed love letter to the Leningrad rock scene. Together we'll meet young Viktor Tsoi, Mike Naumenko, and the musicians who transformed Soviet youth culture long before they became icons.
We'll talk about what really happened, what was reinvented for the screen, and why the Leningrad Rock Club became one of the defining cultural phenomena of the 1980s, foreshadowing the brief era of freedom that was soon to come.
🎩 Discover the film with us — the screening starts at 6:30 PM
🍉 Enjoy Soviet-style snacks, tea, and refreshments at our free bar
🤝 Meet international Barcelona locals who might become your +1 for the next movie night
The film will be shown in VOSI (Russian with English subtitles)
📅 June 27, 6:00 PM–10:00 PM
📍 Javas Hub Cultural — C. Sicilia, 232
🎟 We ask for a €10 fee at the entrance to help cover venue rental and snacks. Please book your place here or via @KinoClub_BCN on Instagram.

CMG Gives Back: Serve Dinner at FAITH MISSION GRANT KITCHEN!
Join us as we get together to get together to help those in need at this CMG Gives Back event! We have a great little community of Movie Group friends so rather than see a movie this time, we’ll help “Create a better world” by helping serve those in need. NOTE: We’re switching it up this time and going with a DINNER shift on Mon, 7/6. Here are complete details and our plan for this event:
FAITH MISSION – GRANT KITCHEN: The Faith Mission kitchen and dining room serves residents 3 meals a day, every day of the year. For this event, our group will help prepare food, serve meals, assist residents in the dining room, wash dishes, and clean surfaces.
PLAN: We will be preparing / serving / cleaning for DINNER from 4:30 to 6:30pm and have space for a total of 7 volunteers. Please arrive at 4:20pm and wear closed-toe shoes and long pants.
LOCATION: Faith Mission – Grant Kitchen is located at 245 N. Grant Ave. Enter the kitchen at Dock 1 (in the back of the building), indicated in the attached map. On-site parking in the adjacent lot and street parking are available in the surrounding area. Below are some links / attachments with additional info/details:
IMPORTANT REMINDER: Our group will be providing all of the volunteers on this day so a firm RSVP count is essential. Please only sign up if you are certain you’ll be able to attend. If something unavoidable comes up, please try to update your RSVP no later than one week prior to the event. With few exceptions, no shows or cancelations within 1 week of the event will not be eligible for future CMG Gives Back events. I appreciate your understanding as we try to ensure the agencies have the volunteers needed to provide the essential services they provide to the vulnerable population they serve. Our Partner Agency for this event is Lutheran Social Services! A huge THANK YOU to those volunteering at this (or any of our previous or future) CMG Gives Back events!
Look forward to seeing you there, Dan
