It’s getting closer and closer to the start of a new date for the Spanish Poker Championship, the most important circuit in the country, which travels through the main cities offering top-level poker. The next stage will be CEP Barcelona, which is characterized by being the most important and significant stop of the entire season. Below, we tell you why.
Casino Barcelona has it all
Casino Barcelona is preparing to host the most important date of the Spanish Poker Championship, which will be held from August 3 to 17. This is the most outstanding stage of the circuit, and that is due to a multiplicity of factors.
Firstly, the chosen luxury venue is one of the most important in all of Spain. The Casino Barcelona boasts first-class facilities to host hundreds of players and offer them a unique experience. It’s no coincidence that international caliber events, such as the EPT Barcelona, are played at this very site.
In fact, these two events have a close relationship, and the proximity of dates between these two circuits is another reason why many players choose to come to Barcelona to experience a long season of high-stakes poker, expanding the CEP field.

Another determining factor is the climate. CEP Barcelona arrives right in the European summer, which allows players to enjoy one of Europe’s most beautiful cities while competing on the region’s biggest poker stage. All this while enjoying the beautiful views and beaches of the Mediterranean Sea.
To all this must be added the thousands of euros in prizes distributed edition after edition. Classic events such as the Main Event, the High Roller, and the Mini CEP are sufficient reasons to attract any tournament competitor. And, due to its twentieth anniversary, the Spanish Poker Championship is preparing something special for this edition.
