By Regina Winkle-Bryan

The Scoop on Barcelona is, that if you know where to look there are many ways to save big in this expensive city.

Nancy and I are Barcelona locals, and always have our eyes peeled for deals and bargains. Here are some of our tips for saving big this summer and fall in the Catalan Capital.

Barcelona Brims with Free and Discount Events This Month!

1. Free Cultural Events – I love this city! There are free concerts, performances, movies and parties all summer long. August and early September are especially good months to enjoy Barcelona’s freebie lineup. The Scoop recommends:

2. Cheap Hotel Coupons and Vouchers - One of the most expensive costs when visiting Barcelona is booking a hotel. Expect to spend 80 Euros and up for something in the center. Sniff around before you book though, because there are many deals to be had, especially now with the economic ‘crisis’ in Spain. Hotels.com coupons from VoucherCodes.co.uk could help you explore Barcelona for less. Here you’ll find some great deals on quality hotels in the city (up to 40% off).

3. Cheap Museum entrance on Fridays. At MACBA, the city’s contemporary art museum, on now until the 23rd  September enjoy late nights at the museum and a reduced entrance fee of just 3.00 Euros. Guided tours of exhibitions are available on Thursdays in Spanish and on Fridays in Catalan at 10pm! See more on this arty experience here.
