It's Friday, why not head over to Dudua in the Born, C/ Rossic, 6, and check out the opening of Didixtra y Guillaume: FANS at 8pm. The quirky shop that specializes in crocheted hamburgers, cacti and the like, made by way of amigurumi hosts the art opening for an exhibition that mixes music and art. After several groups covered songs by the likes of Depeche Mode and Mecano, they put 'em on disk and these two talented artistes designed the covers. At the exhibition you can listen to the tunes and vote for your favorites-- FREE!

Start Saturday off with some yoga on the beach with Active-8.es. Only 7 euros, and led in English, the classes are of the vinyasa variety. See the related link and contact them to book a spot. Happening 11am-12.30pm-- not too early, so you can get a proper lie in for the weekend. Just bring a mat and comfy clothes.

If you fancy a little body wigglin' on Saturday, DJ Fred Guzzo (Cafe Royale) and DJ Fred Spider (Diobar) will be spinning funky hits at Red Lounge by the beach. FREE to get in and the party's on till 3am.
