The Party Favor
September 12, 2018Will be in Barcelona 21 a 24 of September? Then you can not miss the feast of the Patron Saint of Barcelona, Celebration of La Merced, all these days has several attractions around the city and day 24 September is a holiday in her honor.
The party as well as most of the Barcelona celebrations, is great, It has everything you can imagine, for all tastes, live music in several parts of the city, shows the “correfocs” which are very traditional here, chamam hell, they parade with devil clothes and are turning fireworks in the street in the middle of personnel, course has a safe distance, It is very interesting, but I confess I'm a little scared lol, also has exhibits of traditional castellers, (are human castles, they climb on top of another to form a people castle), It is cool, but gives a certain fear of them falling as, small children are upstairs, but thankfully we've never seen anything serious, It has also the parade of traditional giants, and we can not forget the fireworks on the beach of Barceloneta, stage with many musical acts on the beach of Bogatell, arts in the streets, the La Mercè race for those who like sport, music and dance in the beautiful Ciutadella Park, some museums and historic buildings are open free of charge, and the last day and most beautiful in our opinion is the fireworks show at the Magic Fountain of Montjuic, It is very beautiful and exciting.
And the good thing is that public transport because of the party without expand and times also. No excuse not to go. Has it all and more, see the schedule complete here:
