- 2 min read
Every Saturday from 10:30 to 13:00, October to May, Barcelona's municipal nursery schools (escoles bressol) open their playgrounds to all families: free, open entry, for children aged 0 to 6. It's like a park but made for the very young, in every district, with a travelling storyteller at 11:30. Here are all the schools, their addresses and the day their story session falls on.
