So, you’ve travelled to Barcelona to attend Primavera Sound - but where do you hang out before the music starts? Locals Alex Moli and Alex Nikolov of consulting agency Lexa have you covered. From hidden gems for getting your nails and hair done to finding the perfect hangover food, nothing’s gonna stand in the way of you getting ready to dance at the TraTraTrax takeover on the CUPRA stage until the early morning.


So who is Lexa? It’s an independent project with an international focus, born from the need to create diverse and inclusive spaces in the creative scene. They are focusing on communities, multidisciplinary artists and new generations of opinion leaders in territories such as fashion, music, art and clubbing.


Alex and Alex also happen to be frequent Primavera Sound attendees and collaborators, so they’re experts in the field of getting ready for the annual festival.


We love La Central. It’s a really nice breakfast spot. They have delicious food, for instance pan con tomato which is really Catalan. They also have nice coffee. The special thing about this place is that it’s an actual book store.

Carlos & Matilda is the project of our dear friends. It’s a dedicated designer cocktail spot in the middle of the Gothic area. They’ve got a beautiful terrace.

This is my friend Anna’s place. Her artist name is Pannks and she’s an independent nail artist from Barcelona. She’s really affiliated with the whole underground urban scene of the city, working with all the underground urban artists.

La Huella is our workout spot. It’s where we started building up all this muscle haha. Thanks to our trainer, Danny. It’s our go-to spot for personal training and crossfit.

INST Berlin is where we come to do our hair. It’s created by Adrian Alban, who’s a really good friend of ours. It’s become the spot in the city to get your hair cut.

The Joan Miro Foundation is named after iconic painter Joan Miro. They are exhibiting a part of his incredible work. It’s also a beautiful venue from which you have incredible views of the city. We also recommend walking around Montjuïc park which is around the building.
