Saló del Manga

‘Saló del Manga’ is an event that takes place in Barcelona every year, in the end of October and beginning of November. It is an amazing event, and a lot of people buy the tickets early because a lot of people who go to this event! It is a unique opportunity for the lovers of this type of comic, the manga. People from all over Spain come to Barcelona to join the event.

The organisation of the salon is perfect. Lately, it is hold in ‘Plaça Espanya’ and the installations are huge. There are several rooms for the event and each of them has an aim:

• The main room: is where shops sell their products. Here you can find manga, merchandising from TV series, movies, comics, and more products. If you are a lover of cinema or comics you are going to love it.

• The event is dedicated to Japanese culture, and for this there is a room where they offer Japanese food, such as ramen or teriyaki (what we see in films)!

• The auditoriums are provided with huge TVs and seats for everybody to see videos related to manga and anime. Every year the event dedicates these days to something. Last year it was dedicated to Pokemon because it was an important anniversary. This year it is going to be about Mario Bros due to the 30th anniversary.

• There are more rooms and facilities such as the audiovisual rooms, the game place, cosplay exhibition…

All in all, it is an event you don’t want to lose. Thousands of people attend the ‘Saló del Manga’ every year, as me (Núria). I love it! Moreover there are manga sales – you can have products at less price. It is an event I wait for every year. This year is the 21th time the event is being hold in Barcelona – and it is the most important event of this kind in Spain.
