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.
