How to book before it sells out
Tickets have been on sale since Wednesday 14, on each cinema’s website, app or box office. New releases fill up first, so I would book whatever you are sure about today, especially for evening sessions.
To turn it into an evening out, I have ideas in 5 cinema, dinner and drinks plans by neighbourhood and in the Raval route with the Filmoteca and Bar Marsella. For the rest of the week, it is all in Barcelona in October.
