Why we exist
Barcelona is one of the most international cities in Europe. On any given day you'll hear Catalan, Spanish and dozens of other languages — and English is often the one that brings everyone together.
But moving here is the easy part. Building a social life from scratch — when your friends and family are back home, your colleagues have their own plans and the locals' friendship groups go back decades — can be surprisingly lonely. And the international crowd is always on the move.
Barcelona English Speakers is here to fix that. We're part of the AmigoUp community, which runs free social events every single week: meetups, dinners, social sports, hikes, quiz nights and beach days. The low-pressure setting makes it easy to talk, and because the same friendly faces keep coming back, conversations quickly turn into friendships.
From there, members keep the momentum going with member events on our members' Linkdful page and chatting in our WhatsApp community. No awkward networking, no pressure — just genuine people looking for the same thing you are.
