Hello
What is Primavera Sound? My answer, a Spanish version of Coachella that rivals the Californian music festival by it's sheer number of musical acts. It may not have the trippy shit everyone loves like color changing balloons or that huge cube thing, but the location is incredible and beautiful Barcelona is a must visit city (pictured below).
