What does NÓVA mean? 

NÓVA comes from the Portuguese word for “new” — a symbol of rebirth, new beginnings, and starting again. Because at some point, we’ve all had to do it. New city, new career, new friendships, new relationships, a new version of ourselves. It’s uncomfortable, it’s exciting, and sometimes it’s lonely. Nóva represents that exact moment — when everything is unfamiliar, but everything is possible.

What is NÓVA - Why create this club? 

Because starting over sounds empowering… until you’re actually doing it.

You leave everything behind — your friends, your routines, your comfort; thinking you’re building something better. And you are. But no one talks about the in-between: the weekends with no plans, the surface-level friendships, the feeling of being surrounded by people but not really known.

I created Nóva because I’ve been there. I moved to Spain for work, thinking it would be easy to build a life here. But it wasn’t. People already had their circles, their history, their routines — and breaking into that isn’t as simple as just “putting yourself out there.”

So I stopped waiting for something to exist… and built it.

Who is this for ? 

This is for you if you’re starting over.

If you moved here for studies, for work, for love, or just because you needed a change. If you're figuring things out, rebuilding your life, or trying to find your place again.

If you've ever thought:

" "I just want a group of girls I can actually connect with."

" "Everyone here already has their people."​

" "I'm tired of surface-level friendships."

They say it takes a village — and maybe you're still looking for yours.

Why Barcelona ? 

Because Barcelona is full of people… but not always connections.

It's a city where thousands of women arrive every year chasing something new — a better career, a different life, a fresh start. But it's also a city where friendships are often already formed, where locals have tight circles, and where it's easy to feel like you're always on the outside looking in.
Barcelona gives you the opportunity to start over.

NÓVA makes sure you don't have to do it alone.
