Rumba Catalana Experience

Did you know that Catalonia has its own unique style of rumba? While rumba is traditionally a branch of flamenco, in Barcelona it has evolved into something distinctly local, blending the city’s roots with a variety of cultural influences. On this experience, you will dive into the fascinating history of the Catalan rumba and explore the vibrant Raval neighborhood, a hub of music, dance, and community spirit. Our guides will connect you to this lively tradition, helping you understand how it grew and adapted over time, and giving you a chance to feel its rhythm firsthand.

The experience doesn’t stop at history—you’ll also get to actively participate. Learn the basic steps of the rumba, master the typical beats for the palmas, and dance in a local flamenco tavern alongside residents who keep the tradition alive. Enjoy a small flamenco performance, taste authentic tapas, and try the famous “rebujito” cocktail, all while soaking up the lively atmosphere of this cultural hotspot. It’s a complete immersion in the music, dance, and flavors that make Barcelona’s Catalan rumba so special.
