A casual (but coordinated) coffee break to meet new friends, take a Zoom break, and get your AM caffeine fix. Stop by for a few minutes or stay the whole time. Bring a friend or wander in solo. Come for the coffee and company, or just bring a book to read while surrounded by other in-real-life, community-seeking humans. Come by every Friday, or just when you happen to be in town. Make it whatever you need it to be that week. It's not an \*event\* per se, but we hope these Friday meet-ups can become a fixture of the bookshop! Gathering spot will be in the downstairs area of the bookshop (near the Community Library). Coffee and tea are 1.50€ and can be purchased at the cash register upstairs.

Celebrating the Year of Gaudí: An Evening with author Gijs van Hensbergen

Mon, Jun 8, 4:00 PM

From Backstory English Bookshop - Events

4.7

In 2026, Barcelona marks the centenary of Antoni Gaudí's death — a year in which the city has also been designated World Capital of Architecture by UNESCO, placing it at the heart of a global conversation about one of history's most extraordinary creative minds. To celebrate, we are welcoming one of the world's leading authorities on Gaudí and Barcelona's modernist architecture for an evening of conversation, stories and discovery. **Gijs van Hensbergen** is a Dutch art historian, Hispanist and author whose work has brought Gaudí to readers around the world. Trained at the Courtauld Institute of Art, he wrote the first critical biography of Antoni Gaudí, widely praised as the definitive account of the man and his work. He has since written on Gaudí's Sagrada Família for Bloomsbury, appeared on CBS 60 Minutes, BBC Radio 4 and TV3, and lectured at institutions including the Museo del Prado, the National Gallery London and the Reina Sofía. His writing has appeared in The Guardian, The Times, the Wall Street Journal and El País, among many others. This evening, in conversation with moderator **Nick Lloyd**, Gijs will take us behind the stones and spires — into the life, obsessions and genius of Gaudí, and what it means to be in Barcelona during this once-in-a-century year. Nick Lloyd is a writer, historian, and founder of Spanish Civil War Tours, a project dedicated to bringing the stories of the conflict to life through guided visits to key sites across Catalonia and Aragón. Over the years, his work has helped connect countless visitors with Spain’s complex past, weaving together the political, cultural, and personal dimensions of the war. This event is made possible thanks to ***Seven Dreams of Gaudí***, an ambitious concert project co-created and produced by Renée Cooke, premiering at the Palau de la Música Catalana as part of the Year of Gaudí celebrations. Find out more at [sevendreamsofgaudi.com](http://sevendreamsofgaudi.com/). **[ORDER GIJS BOOKS HERE](https://backstorybookshop.shop/browse?s=Gijs+van+Hensbergen&post_type=product&dgwt_wcas=1)**

Presentación: «Para ella, que siempre ha sido extraordinaria», de Camila Fiuza

Wed, May 27, 5:00 PM

From Talleres, cine y literatura: ven a conocer gente

5.0

**Fecha:** Miércoles 27 de mayo **Horario:** de 19.00 a 20.30 **Lugar:** [Amora Libros](https://www.instagram.com/amoralibros_bcn/) \- C\. Ramón y Cajal\, 142 **Inscripción: Gratuita** a través del siguiente enlace: [Entradas](https://entradium.com/events/presentacion-libro-para-ella-que-siempre-ha-sido-extraordinaria) [Libros del Ciempiés](http://www.ciempies.es/) tiene la convicción de que ayudar a impulsar nuevas carreras es otra manera de promover la diversidad y la inclusión. Cada una de las Voces del Ciempiés es única y singular, y esto se refleja en las historias que escribe y los recursos estéticos y literarios que elige para hacerlo. Esta colección aspira a convertirse en una caja de resonancia para una pluralidad de perspectivas, estilos e imaginarios que muy probablemente no tendrían cabida en circuitos editoriales más comerciales. Ojalá, querida persona ávida de nuevas páginas, que las Voces del Ciempiés te lleven a viajar por otros mundos posibles. Que te hagan soñar. Que te emocionen. Que te diviertan. Que te inviten a la reflexión. Que no te dejen indiferente. Y, por qué no, que te inspiren tal vez a contar con tu propia voz. **Sobre el libro** Alice es una adulta aparentemente funcional hasta que un diagnóstico sacude su mundo y la obliga a replantearse todo. Entre Río de Janeiro y Barcelona, su vida se convertirá en un territorio incierto donde las preguntas pesarán más que las certezas: ¿A dónde pertenezco? ¿Qué lugar ocupo en el mundo como mujer, hija, pareja, amiga y migrante? ¿Dónde aferrarse cuando todo parece tambalear? En esta novela, Camila Fiuza nos mostrará que todo lo malo, todo lo bueno y todo lo que hay en el medio son apenas distintas caras de una misma moneda. Que el pasado, el presente y el futuro pueden convivir perfectamente tomados de las manos. Y que por más que haya cosas que intentemos dejar atrás, estas siempre encontrarán la manera de seguir permaneciendo.

Cli-Fi Book Club: TBD

Wed, Jun 3, 4:30 PM

From Let's talk about climate change

4.8

The climate emergency requires more than facts alone. The transformation we need must be measured in greenhouse gas emissions averted and solar panels installed, but it is also an emotional transition, a shift in the narratives we tell, a reconnection with old wisdom and so much more. In short, it is perfectly suited for fiction. If you are seeking such guidance, and if you want to be part of a community, we would love to have you join the Cli-Fi Club this month. Our selection for this month will be announced soon. This event is free, but please get your copy from the wonderful English bookstore that hosts our book club meetings, Backstory. You can also [buy a copy of the book from them online](https://backstorybookshop.shop/product/the-water-knife/). To cover Meetup fees and other costs, we also encourage a €1 donation per attendee. **About the Cli-Fi Club** We read climate fiction — ie, cli-fi — of all types. Our focus is on works that grapple seriously and thoughtful with the emotions and meaning of this moment, what may lie ahead and what may already be lost. Our selections go well beyond the stereotypical conception of cli-fi — ie, science fiction and post-apocalyptic narratives — to include a range of works that engage creatively with humanity’s great challenge, and may even leave you inspired. **About this community** Are you new to the meetup group Let’s Talk About Climate Change or our WhatsApp group Mobilizing Hope? We work to bring together English-speaking people in Barcelona and beyond for climate education and action, and also community. We welcome speakers of Catalan, Castellano and other languages, but most of our events are in English because most of our organizers and attendees are more comfortable in English than other languages. We created this group because we could not find any community like it. We range from degrowthers to startup founders, from artists to data scientists. We may not agree on everything, but we all want to move in the same direction. If you do too, you’re welcome to make it your home.
