Overview

• Barcelona will host the Goya Awards for a second time after the city inaugurated the gala in 2000.
• Spain’s Goya ceremony customarily rotates through host cities, and Barcelona will succeed Granada following last year’s edition.
• Mayor Jaume Collboni described the selection as an honor for Catalan cinema and pledged full support from city and regional governments.
• The decision recognizes Catalan filmmakers’ recent successes at major festivals, including wins at Berlinale, Cannes and domestic awards.
• Organizers are finalizing logistics, including securing a venue and coordinating dates to avoid overlap with the Gaudí awards, with details due in coming weeks.
