Celebrating the Year of Gaudí: An Evening with author Gijs van Hensbergen
Mon, Jun 8, 4:00 PMIn 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.

Kata de Arquitectura @ eDreams
Thu, Jun 11, 4:30 PM**“¿Cómo conseguimos grandes diseñadores? Los grandes diseñadores diseñan, por supuesto.”** *Fred Brooks* **“Entonces, ¿cómo se supone que vamos a conseguir grandes arquitectos si solo tienen la oportunidad de ser arquitectos menos de media docena de veces en su carrera?”** *Ted Neward* ¡Estamos de vuelta con otra [kata focalizada en diseño de sistemas](https://www.architecturalkatas.com/)! 🎉 ¿Qué es una [kata de arquitectura](https://continuous-architecture.org/docs/rituals/architecture-kata.html)? En pocas palabras, los katas de arquitectura son ejercicios diseñados para maximizar el esfuerzo en arquitectura, minimizar los costes innecesarios y completar todos los elementos críticos que un ejercicio de arquitectura debe incluir: un cliente, restricciones del proyecto, requisitos cambiantes, compañer@s y un proceso de revisión. No se requiere experiencia previa en diseño de sistemas o arquitectura. No tener experiencia puede ser incluso más beneficioso: no tendrás ideas preexistentes sobre cómo “debería” hacerse. *El idioma principal será el 🇪🇸 y podemos acomodarnos al 🇬🇧 según asistentes.* **📅 Agenda** * 18:30-18:45. Bienvenida de [eDreams ODIGEO](https://www.edreamsodigeo.com/es/). * 18:45-20:00. Introducción breve a la kata, **cell-based architecture** **y sus diferencias con microservicios**. Después trabajaremos en grupos pequeños, de 3 a 5 personas, sobre un escenario ficticio pero realista que revelaremos durante el evento. Finalmente, pondremos en común las soluciones propuestas. * 20:30-21:00. Networking. **🙇♀️ Facilitan** [Anyul Rivas ](https://es.linkedin.com/in/anyulled/es)\- Senior Solutions Architect en GFT\. **🏢 Dónde** 🆕 eDreams ODIGEO: [Carrer Bailèn, 67-69, Barcelona](https://maps.app.goo.gl/fUHS4AtZGf6D9UoL8) *Si tenéis problemas para llegar o acceder, contactad a través de comentarios en el meetup.* Queremos agradecer a nuestro sponsor, [eDreams ODIGEO](https://www.edreamsodigeo.com/es/) 🙌, por facilitarnos el espacio, snacks y refrescos 🍲 🍕 🍴🥤🧃 ¡Nos vemos allí!

Cloud Native Barcelona OpenTelemetry #3
Thu, Jun 18, 4:30 PMThis is the third in a series of meetups exploring the exciting world of **[OpenTelemetry](https://opentelemetry.io/)** within the cloud-native ecosystem. And this time, we are partnering with our good friends at [Write the Docs Barcelona](https://www.meetup.com/write-the-docs-barcelona/). Whether you're just curious about observability or already a seasoned OpenTelemetry user, this series will offer valuable insights, practical knowledge, and opportunities to connect with fellow enthusiasts in the Barcelona cloud-native community. **📍 Location:** **[Factorial](https://factorial.es)** \- Carrer de Llacuna 56\, building C\, Barcelona \| [https://maps.app.goo.gl/baTqk9H8m3ACK4jD7](https://maps.app.goo.gl/baTqk9H8m3ACK4jD7) **👉 Here's a sneak peek of the agenda:** **18:30:** Check-in and welcome 👋 **18:45:** 🎙️ **"Collaborating in OSS projects: The OpenTelemetry Docs case study"** by **[Anna Urbiztondo](https://www.linkedin.com/in/annaurbiztondo/)** - *Senior Technical Writer at [Grafana Labs](https://grafana.com)*, **[Fabrizio Ferri-Benedetti](https://www.linkedin.com/in/fabrizioferri/)**[ ](https://www.linkedin.com/in/fabrizioferri/)- *Principal Technical Writer* *at [Elastic](https://elastic.co)***.** This Write the Docs meets Cloud Native talk covers what makes open-source projects succeed in practice — clear focus, community ownership, organization, goodwill, and excellent communication in a fast-moving codebase.
