Seasonal Events: Festa major de Gracia
  • Tip Rating:
  • Is a week long festival (15-21 august in 2007) in the Gracia neighbourhoods of Barcellona . Every year streets and square becomes open air theaters where you can found various kind of alive music (rock, jazz, traditional).
    Dating back to the early 19th century, it has become one of Barcelona's biggest festivals.
    And it sees Gracia residents from 23 neighbouring streets competing for the prize for best-decorated street, by doing innovative things with plastic, cardboard, wood and any other materials they can lay their hands on, set around a different theme each year.

  • Tip Rating: [Not enough ratings yet]
  • In many churches in Barcellona I found this nice coloured candles offered for devotion. I am used to monochrome one (red or white mostly) and I liked a lot these.

     Thanks for sharing these Barcelona tips and pictures. I will certainly visit some of these places when I go there for a conference at the end of May. It must be very hot there. Have a good day.
