Barcelona: Bear-brick Fluorescent Painting | Wine and Art

Experience Overview: A Unique Artistic Twist in Barcelona

Imagine spending 75 minutes in the vibrant streets of Catalonia, transforming a blank Bearbrick figure into a glowing piece of art—while sipping unlimited white and red wine. For just $45 per person, you can participate in this engaging Bear-brick Fluorescent Painting workshop, guided by friendly instructors who help you bring your vision to life. The activity starts from a convenient street access point in the city, and the session lasts about an hour and a quarter, giving you enough time to relax, create, and enjoy.

What we love most about this experience is the chance to get genuinely creative with fluorescent paints—no professional skills required—and the lively, social atmosphere fostered by unlimited wine. Plus, the guidance from experienced instructors ensures you won’t feel lost or overwhelmed, even if you’ve never painted before. The 18 cm Bearbricks are ready to brighten up your space with your personal touch, making this a fantastic souvenir or gift.

A potential consideration is that this activity isn’t suitable for children under 8, and the focus on alcohol might not be ideal for everyone. Also, if you’re looking for a more traditional art class, this might be more about fun and experimentation rather than technical mastery. It’s best suited for travelers who want a lighthearted, social, and creative break from sightseeing, especially those eager to try something quirky and memorable.

If you enjoy interactive, relaxed activities with a dash of artistic flair—and don’t mind a little wine alongside your creativity—this experience is well worth considering. It’s especially perfect for curious travelers looking to add a splash of color and fun to their Barcelona trip.
