How to make friends in Catalunya

We have been talking about loneliness when you are abroad, let's now talk about how to make friends (locals or expatriates) when you're living in Catalunya :top:

Which are your best tips to meet people and to make friends in Catalunya??

Thanks in advance for your participation

Good Question!  I am and Irish lass and have just moved to Barcelona from the UK with my native boyfriend. It's early days but I would like to make expats friends...Are their social groups, amateur dramatics, I dunno anything like that where I can meet English speakers?:)

There is the International Women's club, http://www.iwcbarcelona.com/Site/IWCB_Home.html, there is another, but the name escapes me. 

There are the hash house harriers, http://barcelonahashhouseharriers.furtivefrog.co.uk/

I have never looked at these last two sites, but the harriers link to it, Barcelona Angloinfo, http://barcelona.angloinfo.com/

and this one,

http://www.barcelonaconnect.com/

I have to admit I don't belong to any of these groups, but it may be a starting point.  Good luck!

I am refreshing this nice discussion!
Any other suggestions?
I heard there are regular COUCHSURFING meetings in BCN, if you're a member, that could be a  nice place to meet new people :)
