Explore Santa Martí, Barcelona’s largest coastal neighbourhood by adventuring along the seafront promenade, check out some amazing street art and join Niantic at Westfield Glòries! Here you can enjoy event decorations, grab some giveaways and snap a memory shot at one of the photo opportunities.

Westfield La Maquinista

Pikachu and Eevee will also be there enjoying the sights, so make sure you stop by Westfield La Maquinista and say hello to some of your favourite Pokémon at the official Pikachu and Eevee Meet & Greet.

Gameplay Ticket add-ons

In addition to the live events, you will also be able to enhance your event experience with optional add-ons. Ticket add-ons are active for both days of Pokémon GO City Safari: Barcelona — Friday and Saturday. Trainers with the ticket add-ons will be able to take advantage of the bonuses even on the day that they aren’t taking part in ticketed gameplay.

Restrictions for the Friday/Saturday add-ons apply. Trainers will only receive the event Special Research once.
