February is a month in which we finally leave behind the Christmas hangover and in which, unfortunately, there are no holidays. The good thing? That in Barcelona there are plans to enjoy its 28 days, leisure options that will make us forget the cold and that the next bridge is in two months. Discover here the best ones.

Every night, after its jazz, soul and derivatives concerts, the mythical Jamboree turns into a discotheque.

Tickets: 10€.
Paradox Museum
A corner in the heart of Barcelona that allows us to enjoy more than a hundred games, visual and perception tests and other amusements related to the concept of paradox. Not only will we have a great time and we can take fun photos and videos, but we will learn, whether we are 0 or 99 years old.

Admire the flamingos in the Delta del Llobregat
The natural park of the Llobregat Delta has just opened a viewpoint, where this February (and throughout the year) we can admire the flamingos, these birds that, although they seem so exotic, are very typical of the Mediterranean climate.

Feast on croquettes
