Without hardly seeing it coming, March arrives to our lives softly, with good weather and many plans. The month of art invites us to immersive exhibitions, original tributes to great artists and other plans that you do not expect.
It is the month to organize group plans, such as unraveling a crime in a life-size mystery game, painting in the dark or dinner in the dark? Surprise your mutuals with the best plans for the month of March. Avanti!
Immerse yourself in the life and work of the genius in Sorolla, a new dimension (all month long).

Commemorating the centenary of the death of the genius of light, this exhibition immerses you in more than 1,000 m2 of space with 360° projections, virtual reality and the latest technology in digital art.

Candlelight: The best classical tribute concerts to great artists (all month)
Hundreds of candles surrounding a string quartet performing the great songs of Queen. Or Serrat. Perhaps pianist Laura Andrés reinterprets the work of Hans Zimmer in the Basilica of Santa María del Pi. This is the concept of Candlelight Barcelona, luxury performers in iconic, historic and intimate spaces. This weekend, and other days may be an opportunity to try this format for the first time. Or perhaps also, to repeat.
This month, you can enjoy a Coldplay Tribute at the Palace in Barcelona on the 10th and 17th, and on Saturday 30th, the Fantasia Quintet will pay tribute to the Beatles in the same location.
Hotel Palace de Barcelona (Gran Via de les Corts Catalanes, 668)

Dining in the dark: blind dinner at the Jardinet d’Aribau (March 30)
It is said (and it is known) that when you eliminate one of your senses, or at least ‘cover’ it, the other senses are intensified. That is, if we blindfold, the taste and aroma are intensified.
That is the premise of Dining in the dark, a gastronomic proposal that invites you to a secret menu of three dishes (you can choose between Red – meat, Blue – seafood and Green – vegan) that you will taste without being able to see.
This month, you can enjoy Dining in the dark on March 20 at Jardinet d’Aribau (Diagonal).
Jarinet d’Aribau, 133 (Diagonal).
Passéig de Gourmets (from March 7 to 17)
Passeig dels Gourmets’ is an initiative that wants to turn Paseo de Gracia into a high-level gastronomic route, ideal for foodies.
The gastronomic festival returns this year to its original dates celebrating its sixth edition from March 7 to 17. If you are a foodie, this is your plan. A total of 22 restaurants will join the initiative to create unique tapas for the occasion, dishes and gourmet menus harmonized with cava. Everything you need to know about this plan is here.

Have a good calçotada without leaving Barcelona
