About
PyConES 2026 is the annual national conference of the Spanish Python community, organised by the non-profit association Python España together with a volunteer organising team. The Python conference in Barcelona 2026 brings together hundreds of enthusiasts, professionals and companies who use Python in fields ranging from web development and data science to scientific computing and the language's own internals. The three-day, in-person event runs from 6 to 8 November in Barcelona, with the Universitat de Barcelona, Python Barcelona and the EuroPython Society listed among its collaborators. The programme combines plenary talks from invited speakers with community-submitted sessions, and the organisers emphasise inclusion: the event offers live sign-language interpretation, childcare, a scholarship programme and a Django Girls workshop for newcomers, with meals included in a deliberately low-cost ticket. The website is published in Spanish, English and Catalan. Participants can learn from CPython core developers and experienced practitioners, discover tools from across the Python ecosystem and meet peers from all over Spain. As the national meeting point for the Python community in Spain, PyConES plays a central role in growing local user groups and bringing new contributors into open source.

Planning your trip to Barcelona
Contains sponsored linksPyConES brings the Spanish-speaking Python community to Barcelona in early November, and it is a different crowd from the international conferences the city usually hosts: mostly domestic, arriving by high-speed rail, and sociable in a way that runs on late dinners. November empties the beaches but opens up everything else, and the hillside neighbourhoods above the centre are at their most pleasant when the heat has gone.
Getting there & around
Most attendees arrive at Barcelona Sants, the high-speed rail hub, which puts Madrid two and a half hours away and Valencia under three. From El Prat, the R2 Nord train reaches Sants in about 20 minutes. Sants connects to the Metro's L3 and L5, so onward travel to almost any conference hotel is a single ride.
Skip the taxi queue — pre-book a fixed-price airport transfer with Welcome Pickups. Exploring beyond the city? compare rental cars on EconomyBookings.
Staying connected
Barcelona's mobile networks handle conference-scale load well, and most venues and cafés offer usable Wi-Fi. For visitors from outside the EU, an eSIM removes the need to find a phone shop on arrival. Set up an eSIM with Airalo before you board and you're online the moment you land.
After the sessions
Park Güell. Gaudí's failed housing estate turned public park layers mosaic terraces and stone colonnades across a hillside above Gràcia. The monumental core needs a timed ticket; the surrounding woodland is free and often better. Reaching it involves a steep walk or the outdoor escalators from Lesseps. Tickets on Tiqets →
Santa Maria del Mar. The fourteenth-century Catalan Gothic church in the Born was built by the port workers whose district it served, and its bare stone interior is a deliberate contrast to the cathedral's decoration. Entry is free at certain hours, and a separate ticket allows a rooftop visit over the old city.
Tibidabo. The mountain behind the city carries a basilica, a century-old funfair with original rides, and the widest view in Barcelona. Getting there is half the appeal, by tram and funicular from Avinguda Tibidabo. Check opening days in November, when the amusement park runs a reduced schedule.
Sant Antoni. The renovated market hall and the streets around it have become the city's most liveable central district, with vermouth bars, bookshops and a Sunday second-hand book market under the arcade. It is a fifteen-minute walk from Plaça Universitat and useful for dinner away from the tourist grid.
Good to know
What language are the sessions in?
PyConES is primarily a Spanish-language conference, with some talks in English. Attendees without Spanish should check the programme, though the hallway track is generally bilingual.
Is a car useful?
No. Barcelona's Metro, buses and commuter rail cover everything, parking in the centre is scarce and expensive, and a low-emission zone restricts older vehicles on weekdays.
Are there extra accommodation costs?
Catalonia charges a tourist tax per person per night, collected by the hotel and varying by category, plus a Barcelona city surcharge. It is small but not always shown in the booking price.
