BIS x Malacuna Hostel: Your Friday Social Starting Point in Barcelona

BIS x Malacuna Hostel: Your Friday Social Starting Point in Barcelona

Sara MiguélezMarch 26, 2026

If you've just arrived in Barcelona — or you're looking for a new way to start your Friday night — we have something for you.

Barcelona International Social has partnered with Malacuna Hostel, a social hostel right in the heart of the Gothic Quarter at Carrer Unió 10-12, to create a weekly Friday pre-party meetup.

How it works

Every Friday at 18:45, we meet at Malacuna Hostel. The hostel opens up its hall and common areas for the event — a relaxed, social space where you can meet other internationals, play games, and have a drink before the night begins.

At 19:45 we head together to Club Sauvage in Plaza Real for the biggest Friday DJ session in Barcelona. It's a 5-minute walk.

Why Malacuna

Malacuna is not just a hostel — it's a social hub. Every week, new travelers arrive from all over the world. Combine that with BIS regulars and you get a mix of people you won't find anywhere else: travelers passing through, Erasmus students settling in, expats building their life here, and locals who just love meeting new people.

The hostel has a bar, a spacious lobby and hall, and even a terrace for when the weather is good.

What to expect

  • 🎯 Games and icebreakers to get the conversation going
  • 🍻 Drinks available at the hostel bar
  • 🌍 International crowd — travelers + BIS community
  • 🎧 Then we all walk to Club Sauvage together for the Friday party

No sign-up fee. No minimum consumption. Just show up and be social.
