Gràcia's festival

In the middle of August, one of the most famous neighborhoods of Barcelona celebrates its festival. If you come to Barcelona during August you should totally visit this neighborhood.

This is the winner of 2015

During one week there will be a lot of activities for everyone and where streets are decorated too. How? This is one of the most famous attractions of this event. The streets of Gràcia are transformed into magic places. The people who live in the street think of a theme and they decorate their street with recyclable products and with extraordinary ideas. After that, there is a contest to decide which street has the better decoration. This year the street that has won has been C/Verdi which was decorated in Japanese style.

You can enjoy other activities such as cercaviles, castellers, workshops, water fights, some championships such as the domino one, concerts…

We recommend this festival because it is different and so much fun.

SANT JOAN

‘Sant Joan’ is one of the most expected and long-awaited days of the year. We celebrate the arrival of the summer (two days after though) on the 23^rd of June, the shortest night of the year. The party last until the next day, the 24^th.

Sant Joan is one of Barcelona's biggest parties and the noisiest and possibly the craziest. It's a night of Fireworks, Coca cakes and Cava, but not of sleep. During this night we join into an open-air dance (in catalan called ‘revetlla’) with all our relatives and friends.

Sant Joan events in Barcelona are organised locally by the districts and civic centres of Barcelona and people just celebrate the evening with dinners, parties, firecrackers and bonfires all over Catalonia. The biggest central gathering on the Nit de Sant Joan is on the beaches of Barcelona, which attract crowds of around 75.000 people.

And to make it a perfect night, you shouldn’t miss the traditional ‘coca’ of Sant Joan.
